Absolutely, see my previous reference to Hobbes (power to govern comes
from consent of the governed) and Locke (consent can be withdrawn) and
then, by extension to Jefferson.

But, the original comment was "a law on the books" to allow people to
interpret morality to authorize acting illegally. That's a long way
from revolution.

Great editorial in this AM's Denver Post by Mike Rosen. Unfortunately
doesn't appear to be available online.
