Isn't there a law on the books that permits a citizen to act in
opposition to his government if said government is engaging in immoral
activity as the Nazi's did?

I don't think there is. What you describe is revolution. It's the
extension of the (correct) political philosophy of Thomas Hobbes and
John Locke. First that the power and authority of a government comes
from consent of the governed. When a government abuses that power,
then it is the right of the people to withdraw their consent and
overthrow the government.

Surely there must be a right of revolution. The United States
was established by such a right, and it wAs declared in the
Declaration of Independence.

I consider the right of revolution to an extra constitutional
right. It exists outside the Constitution. One can not both
rebel against the Constitution while claiming to be protected by
the Constitution. Rebellion against the United States is a
military action and not a judicial one.

I recall a group called ROT (Republic of Texas). They were
holding up in some building. When they sent out a lawyer rather
than an ambassador, I deemed them common criminals and not
revolutionaries.
