Your response is so full of shit it's laughable Sonya, as it relates to things I've allegedly claimed or said. Let's examine the things you said I have said, but I did not. Find me anywhere in any post I've said any of these things:
1. only people that think and believe as you do have the right to resist lawful orders.
2. You complain that Cesar Fucking Chavez doesn't have the right to interfere with a court order deporting 100 illegal immigrants.
3. Every person has the right to resist a lawful court order.
Also, I didn't bring up this thread. Thread was started by someone else. Additionally, why have none of you bothered to address the obviously questionable things that have gone on here. You have all conveniently ignored the questionable actions by the BLM and haven't bothered to speak to any of that.
Your comparison of what Bundy has done and the police did fails at the most basic level because I never said the police did was illegal. If it was, we wouldn't be talking about this because they'd have been brought up on charges already (maybe). I said what they're doing wouldn't be okay for a normal citizen to do, so I don't see why it's okay for them to do it. That said, I do understand that they did not break the law. I simply think it's possible for the police to do their job without being overly aggressive and using force at the very first sign that someone else MIGHT use force, especially someone unarmed, something I've said several times now.
I think your analysis is also flawed at it's core because you keep bringing up due process. Correct me if I am wrong here, but there didn't have to be any laws passed for the BLM to decide to charge the guy extra fees for his cattle to grazed on land they'd previously grazed on for 100+ years for free. That's a luxury the BLM simply took upon themselves as part of their bureaucratic power. Where's the due process there? Did Bundy get to vote on whether or not those fees were okay? No, he was told this is how it's going to be. So he fought it in court and he lost. That part is due process yes, I agree. However, there is more to it than that, some of which I have already posted about. Here, go read these:

I didn't say anyone who feels they've been railroaded has the right to resist a court order. A better summary of my position would be this: There are some extreme situations when those in power have questionable motives where it would be appropriate to resist a court order because the system has been abused by corrupt individuals.
Would you not also agree that political corruption robs people of their due process rights? Would you not agree that political corruption undermines the system?
Your comparisons, the immigrants and the getting drilled by a drunk driver are also laughable because they're nowhere close to what's gone on here. Neither of those scenarios involve the type of shady political shit going on in this situation. Let me be more specific.
In the immigrant situation, there have been written laws passed which say illegals cannot come into this country unless they do it through proper channels. There's no debate about this. This wasn't a decision made arbitrarily by some bureaucratic agency. It's written law. When immigrants get deported, there's no hint of scandal, as there is here. It's a black and white affair.
In the drunk driver situation, you're talking about someone (the driver) who has broken both written law (DUI statutes) and common law with his actions. Also, not hint of scandal and corruption there, it's a black and white affair.
There is a lot more to this back story than simply "some guy that didn't want to pay taxes". Will you stop pussy footing around this issue and attack it head on? What do you have to say about all the stuff I've posted about all the shady shit that's gone on in the backdrop with Reid? What about the BLM's abandonment of their glorious save the turtles campaign because "they don't have enough" money, despite raking in millions from leases and being able to send 200 agents on a mission.
Sonya, if I (and millions of other Americans) are so dead wrong in our views, why did the BLM release the cattle and pull out?
