When a president declares he's not bound by law ...(PERSPECTIVES)(Column)
Byline: Thomas Tryon
Law professor Michael P. Allen teaches civil procedure, remedies, complex litigation and other sizzling subjects. He spoke recently to hundreds of local lawyers about a "non-event."

It depends on whether you care about the U.S. Constitution. Depends, also, on whether you care about the answers to questions such as:
* Can executive branch agencies unilaterally pre-empt state laws by federal fiat?
* Can the president refuse to enforce parts of federal law, either because he disagrees with them or believes they impinge upon the authority of a "unitary executive branch"?
* Does the president have unfettered power to authorize secret prisons, declare American citizens to be enemy combatants, detain foreigners indefinitely without formal charges, and monitor international calls to or from the United States without a warrant?
