The question was more rhetorical, but you bring up an interesting point WRT classification and the law. Suppose we have a program which is blatantly contrary to the Constitution, but falls under classification and NDAs — would disclosure of such a program to the general public be illegal?

[IOW, it is asserting that the commissioned is indeed of greater authority than that which commissions.]
• If No, then what implications does that have for (a) the legal system, (b) the classification system, and (c) redress of such grievances.
