Ben Hur

It's called "electioneering" if it happens in a voting line at a polling location - it's been illegal in most states for a long LONG time.

Tell that to volunteers who were indicted for leaving water for migrants along the U.S./Mexico border.

Electioneering has been illegal for a long time without prohibiting volunteers from bringing water to people standing in line.

Littering AND aiding and abetting. Border crossing is a crime.

I don't think we're going to ford any new ground here, but hiding Jews from Nazis was illegal, harboring runaway slaves was illegal, lunch counter sit ins were illegal.

The movie Ben Hur illustrates the (ironically) Roman concept of "Mallum Prohibitum" (evil ONLY because the law exists against it) versus "Mallum In Se" (evil in and of itself). This scene shows Jesus of Nazareth breaking the law by defying an order from a Roman Centurion.

"You're right, of course, border crossing is a crime, and leaving water was a crime. I never said it wasn't illegal, I only said it shouldn't be.

Only if you let them into your restaurants to get a drink.

...you have a point. I should have said "offer".
