Jewlicious, I'm skeptical of the value of dina de malchutei dina. Did it ever anticipate or account for things like, well, you know, democracy and civil disobedience? Did it account for the founding principles of a country's government? I'd like to think that Jewish values could have something more enlightened to contribute to American law than a negative judgment on Harriet Tubman and MLK - not to mention that rebellious lawbreaker Haym Solomon, without whom the financial success of the very revolution that gave rise to the nation that enacts these weird laws would have been jeopardized.
