Huckabee responded that Dred Scott was the ruling of the Supreme court roughly 100 years ago (that essentially, blacks were not human) and asked should we now enforce that Supreme Court ruling as well. The point being, the Supreme Court was wrong on Dred Scott, and they are wrong on this ruling as well.
But isn't that the same kind of thing that Obama gets (correctly) criticized for? Deciding he doesn't like a law and doesn't have to obey it, rather than trying to change the law?
Furthermore, one of the tenets of civil disobedience is the idea that your're sufficiently committed to your principles to go to jail and stay in jail. It isn't supposed to be a "get out of jail free" card for any time you don't like a law.
Now, in this case, I don't think jail was warranted as much as removal from office was. Davis (or the Muslim flight attendant) doesn't want to do a job she shouldn't have the job. Case closed.
