Presidential Power	excon	01/19/06
Hello rightys: Hep me out here. The president said he has authority to stop Oregon from doing what it wants, but the Supreme Court said no. Does that mean that the president is sometimes wrong in what he can and can not do? In relationship to the NSA spying, is it possible that the president is wrong? If the Supreme Court told him he was and ordered him to stop, would he? Should he? Is the Supreme Court the final arbiter of what he can do, or is HE? I really want to know. I thought I learned all this in high school civics, but things aren't working out like they're supposed to. Did I miss some classes or something? excon
Clarification/Follow-up by tomder55 on 01/19/06 11:06 am: you forgot that the Constitutions gives each branch seperate roles .In both Oregon and in previous case load regarding NSA and related intelligence gathering the courts has played their part. Stare Decisis in cases involving the President's right to gather intelligence on our enemy as opposed to alleged 4th amendment violations has consistently come down in favor of the President .
