Rich Lowry: The last 400 years of Anglo-American political history can be read as a successful effort to establish and maintain a system tethering the executive to the law. What President Obama is contemplating will undermine that achievement, both through his own lawlessness and the precedent he will create for subsequent presidents to operate by extra-legal fiat. ...

President Obama is said to want to build his legacy, and he will--as a man who is shamefully careless of his oaths and constitutional obligations.
