When Jefferson penned that statement, WHO was the rightful and legal governing body of what eventually became the United States of America? WHO had the right, UNDER LAW, to tell the American colonists what they could and could not do? Sometimes MORALITY supercedes LEGALITY.
Unless your version of morality isn't what the group chooses to follow. Then you will most likely be pretty unhappy and want the law followed. Then if neither is your sense of morality you are stuck I guess. That is why we have laws....so one "morality" doesn't get to run over everyone else's.
