KARY LOVE – Your fathers and mothers, your long-gone ancestors, fought and won against monstrous evil in the past to win your rights; surely you can stand now against the trembling bone-spur weakling purporting to be authorized to chainsaw away the nation’s principles.

It also makes the Nuremberg argument that an illegal order need not (in fact must not) be obeyed.
