who can disobey the law

Must the President of the United States obey the law? Ordinarily, the answer of course is yes, unless the law itself is unconstitutional. However, the President does not have the last word on what is or is not constitutional. That decision belongs to the Supreme Court.

Hey, if the President can pick and chose so can we. A new bill introduced by Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) yesterday would set the stage for the Supreme Court to consider the legality of the Bush Administration's warrantless surveillance program by granting legal standing to litigants seeking to challenge the program.
