Steven,

I submit that not following a law is exactly how it gets changed. It's called Civil Disobedience... which can lead to Jury Nullification and also Supreme Court rulings.

The courts don't just review rules on a whim.

BTW: I think "fair" and "just" are pretty much the same thing. And yes, I think there are very many un-fair/un-just laws on the books.
