According to everything I've read on this subject the legislation needed to be passed by midnight on that date in order to take effect for the next election. So no, it cannot be easily overridden and while they may eventually "win out" there was irreversible change, or lack of change, due o this action.
Quote:That said, if you're sabotaging legislation that actively harms democracy or human rights, I absolutely would support that action. I don't think the act in itself is wrong. I'd look at the motive. For the same reason I would not decry all acts of civil disobedience because it broke the law.
Which, again, is a subjective criteria. What you consider to be such an act may not be what someone else considers such an act. So who gets to decide when such an act is warranted or not?
