True Liberty and Justice "DO" require resistance to man's law (legal positivism).

    Looks like the First monument needed some clarification ...

    @Mike, you're never going to let the word 'law' slide by without making it clear what real 'law' is, are you. ;-) If only the proper wording had been carved in stone:

    True Liberty and Justice may require resistance to legislation.

    ;-) or arbitrary rules, dictates of the State, compelled compliance, legal positivism, etc.
