...to abandon President Obama, take to the streets and OPENLY SUPPORT civil disobedience against the US GOVERNMENT!!!
I am sorry but he is a seating Congressman, actively PROMOTING civil disobedience is practicing insurrection! Just because he doesn't like the laws he can't promote breaking the law! Many Republicans don't like say the abortion law, but they don't openly support doctors and citizens from breaking the law (maybe a few do, but they would be in the same boat as Luis)!
When he gets arrested this time, he should be tried for treason and KICKED OUT of the House! It is well against the Constitution for a Congressman to support insurrection against the government! He needs to be impeached! He is not the first, nor the last, Congressman to be upset with a vote, but that doesn't give him the right to promote civil disobedience!

Rep. Luis Gutierrez: If Democrats can’t pass the DREAM Act now, it’s time for Latinos to break away Hot Air
, Gutiérrez and his movement allies will ask for a divorce—from the Democratic Party, from the entire lawmaking process. To hear Gutiérrez tell it, Hispanic leaders are about to stage a full-tilt campaign of direct action, like the African-American civil-rights movement of the 1960s. There will be protests, marches, sit-ins—what César Chávez might have called going rogue. The movement will operate autonomously, no longer beholden to wavering Democrats, filibustering Republicans, and—perhaps most tantalizingly—no longer beholden to Barack Obama…
“We need to decouple the movement for comprehensive immigration reform and justice for immigrants from the legislative process and from the Democratic Party process,” Gutiérrez says. “They are too linked.”…
This is a pretty radical notion, especially for a sitting congressman. And Gutiérrez is quick to suggest the goals of the Democrats and immigration movement may not jibe. “Is it reelect the president?” Gutiérrez asks. “Is that your priority? Or is it get comprehensive immigration reform? Those things can be in contradiction with one another.”
