My car license tab is due in Feb. I'll buy them because we are a nation of laws, meaning that the rule of law is important. Just cuz Rich G. says the gov't. is illegitimate doesn't make it so. Our gov't. is legitimate as can be. That is, we have the best gov't. that money and ill-informed voters can buy, from Jenny Durkan to Donald Trump.

I may not like what the gov't. does, but that doesn't make it illegitimate. If the gubmint appeal ends up being rejected, DMV can send me a refund. I'd be cool with that.
