La Loi, C'est Moi

The more I think about the NSA spying story, the more I am reminded of my post some days ago about Bush telling GOP leaders to stop worrying about whether things he did were un-constitutional. "Stop throwing the Constitution in my face," he said, "it's just a goddamned piece of paper." We clearly are living with Louis XIV all over again. "La loi, c'est moi."
