| Rep. John Lewis: It's OK to Break House Rules 'To Uphold a Greater Law, a Moral Law' |
| 2016-06-24 |
| [CNSNEWS] Supported by President B.O., Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) justified Democrats' disruption of House business on Wednesday by saying, "It is always right to do right." "And you get to define it yourself." Applying 1960s tactics to the ongoing gun control debate, Lewis led Democrats in a noisy sit-in on the House floor, demanding a vote on gun control legislation that Republicans refuse to bring up. "Sometimes you have to violate a rule of law to uphold a greater law, a moral law. We have a right to stand up, to speak up, to speak out. We have a right to sit down, or to sit-in, to engage in nonviolent protest. It is always right to do right," Lewis told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday. |

| #16 The problem is, 49 pan, that the people who voted these idiots in are the same idiots that now agree that feelings are more important than law. |

| #15 They have put their feelings above the rule of law. The time has come for people to act, vote these idiots out. |

| #12 Personally I think they should be sized and thrown into a deep dark prison with no hope of reprive or even a trial. That is what they are trying to impose on us peons right? What's good for the goose is good for the gander and all that. |

| #11 The Hon. John Lewis, you are a candy a$$. This protest is a waste of time unless you are out in the hot sun on a hunger strike, without water, and shade for an extended time. And without fully-armed security protection. |
