Not really on the rolling over. One of the oddities about my brand of politics is that it expressly disallows the active political "rolling over" of any person or persons. The objective of right-libertarianism is to avoid -being- rolled over, and to provide as many means as possible to prevent such; ie lawsuits, private-property rights, the Non-Aggression Principle and, of course, lots of guns. The only case in which I consider such a "roll-over" acceptable is when it is in the act of removing a law or statute which is an impediment to individual/personal freedom which is supported by those with a vested interest in the current tyrannical status-quo. The repeal of various Fed-level laws regarding recreation drugs, NFA weapons, and mandatory minimum sentencing rules would be good examples. Ie; the -removal- of a tyrannical law or statute would be legitimate, but the -imposition- of such a law would not be, in the same way that it is legitimate for a person to use force to escape slavery but not legitimate to use force to enslave someone.
