But he was still breaking a law. No he wasn't. Not really. Those flag rules showed up in a "law" only because Congress has no other place to put such things. While it's technically in a law, it's not really a law as ordinary people understand law. Ordinary laws prescribe or proscribe certain actions and establish penalties for non-compliance. Civil disobedience breaks real laws, those for which there is a penalty. Crediting Obama with civil disobedience for breaking what is not a real law is a bit much. If it's civil disobedience, it's only so on a technicality. So while one may applaud or condemn civil disobedience, this ain't an example of it.
