An amusing hypothetical example that struck me while fetching my
daughter. Imagine that a President was elected with a minority of the
popular vote, and won the electoral vote only through what the aggrieved
group perceived as a judicial coup d'etat. Suppose that this government
implemented rules aimed at forcing pregnant women to give birth, which
many women see as a direct violation of their right to determine what is
done with their bodies. Suppose that this government packed the courts
with people of like mind, restricting peaceful redress.

Would the aggrieved women be justified in taking up arms against the
State?

You've been asking the best questions lately. I'm as jealous of them as Win is of my grub. I'm finding myself disappointed, though, that the better your questions, the less likely it is that anyone tries to answer them. Maybe one has to talk trash to evoke responses.
