"A law repugnant to the Constitution is void." Marbury v Madison, 1803, SCOTUS https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/5/137
The clerks of the Department of State of the United States may be called upon to give evidence of transactions in the Department which are not of a confidential character.

Since "We the People" are the government, in a sense, then his comments are valid. The rule of law argument is valid, but when the law is established by a few or by a government no longer validated by the people then the law is invalid. To support and defend the constitution, against all enemies, foreign and (specially) domestic, civil disobedience is required at times. The Boston Tea Party, Lexington and Concord, and other acts of the colonists prior to the Declaration of Independence, were acts of civil disobedience, which I would add, are highly respected and revered acts by Americans today.

To be accurate, We the People are not the government. We are the sovereign. We grant to the government whatever limited powers they have to serve us. However, beyond that, you are absolutely correct and I stand with you
