Roger Toussaint, President of TWU Local 100, responded to Mayor
Bloomberg, who had made remarks essentially the same as those above.

He said, "There is a higher calling than the law and that's justice
and equality. Had Rosa Parks answered the call of the law instead of
the higher call of justice, many of us who are driving buses today
would still be in the back of the bus."

In other words, there are times we MUST pick and choose what laws we
will obey.

great moral crises, maintain their neutrality." --Dante Alighieri
