Are there not situations in which we're obligated not to follow the law? Every tyranny in history has been legal.

Yes. Any law that breaks the highest law of the land is invalid and should be disobeyed. However, as long as there is a tyrannical government willing to enforce invalid laws there are still consequences for breaking them.

Slavery was legal at some point.
