Regardless of what you think of Phil's case, can someone tell me how a person can get to a court of law without taking a stand in the "streets" first? You have to be harmed by a law in order to file a complaint in court - it's how our system works. If you go thru and comply, you're hard pressed to make a case of harm because nothing happened, even if their action was illegal.

I don't see how if you don't stand up in the streets first and get smacked down how you can challenge a law's validity outside of getting states' or federal legislative bodies to make the change.
