is that the Founders created a nation of laws. To do so, they had to exercise some pretty incredible virtue--or conversly, avoid some pretty human desires.

So, I fervantly believe that it is our duty to obey the highest law in the land or to change it. To do so will require courage, fidelity, self-lessness etc. You can't ignore the IV Amendment because you are afraid.
