Some variation of that idea was used in at least two Supreme Court opinions and by Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. But sure, feel free to speak on behalf of the Constitution itself, O mighty legal scholar.
Personally, though, I don’t need a legal justification for breaking the law when it impairs my survival, because I’m unwilling to sacrifice my survival or my conscience for the sake of obeying dead men. People who don’t recognize that laws can be wrong are, frankly, horrifying, because they have a tendency feel justified in doing horrible things.
So what do you think is in the Constitution that’s bad? I’m glad about it all personally, because it’s great having inalienable rights. The Constitution is the framework that America was built on, and it worked out better than most of the rest of the world generally.
The Constitution is not a suicide pact.
The US Constitution is the highest law of the land in the USA, and it doesn’t give a shit what you think.
