I don't particularly like defiance of constitutional principles. I like defiance of prejudice- so if there were a rule, for example, that religions had to hide themselves away (a la Neo) and some poor discriminated Christian was protesting by wearing a cross, then I would cheer. But at a time when the great majority claim to be Christian, and their is Christian stuff everywhere. it's going to be the very rare occasion when I'm going to Cheer for the oppressor.

There is no excuse for a judge defying a lawful ruling from a higher court. Maybe not in this case. But don't make that an absolute principle. Sometimes there is.
