Well, you can do whatever you want to do; whether your actions comply with the Texas Penal Code is irrelevant until your charged.That's Statist nonsense. Power does not equal moral authority. I could list many governments that harmed their people under "rule of law".
Even as a long term Republican I'll gladly admit preferring Obama to Il Donald but Obama was not eligible to run for President again.
However, that still has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that there is no evidence that men in the female restroom or socialized medicine are not reasonable.

Then it's up to your peers and/or the DA whether you go to trial. Then, your peers or a judge (your choice) will determine if your actions comstituted criminal behavior or not.
Whether you agree with it or not, that's due process according to the state and U.S. Constitutions.
In practice, statutes legally empower government with moral authority on particular subjects unless deemed unconstitutional.

I wish we could get this thread back on track, or ... closed.
But I am a registered Republican and have been one Kennedy was President.The closet Dimcrat just came out....
Moral and legal authority are not related in any way. Even the US government has harmed their people under "Rule of Law" but the solution is to change the laws and in the US there is even a process to do just that.That's Statist nonsense.

Back in the 1960s I was fired and blackballed for supporting Civil Rights, for demonstrating by breaking laws that I firmly believed were unjust. I lost the ability to find work in my professions in that town. Others were jailed, several beaten.
As I said above there might be valid reasons to disobey the laws BUT you must understand that doing so includes risks of being sanctioned.
In the US we elect representatives at the Federal, State and Local levels and they are charged to create a legal framework. If we feel that the representatives did not act reasonably then we can petition to get the laws change, vote to change the representatives or challenge the reasonableness of the laws through the court system. However until the laws are changed they are still the law.
