Again, this law is constitutional.

How does this threaten an American citizen's rights? This is lawful under the Constitution.

The Supreme Court has ultimate appellate jurisdiction over all federal courts and over state court cases involving issues of federal law.

This is quite the straw man. I meant free in a legal sense.

Read Article III, Section 1.
"The judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court."

Yes, you're free to express what you want out of the Constitution but you're not free to break laws as interpreted by our federal courts. Unless the Constitution is amended, shouldn't we be following the rule of law and let the Court interpret the Constitution?

If we're not following the rule of law, what laws should we follow? Who should interpret our laws?
The Supreme Court has the power to issue an order called a “writ of mandamus” to deal with lower courts that overstep their legal authority.

So it's okay to pick and choose which texts to follow from our Constitution? The Constitution doesn't give Snowden the power to interpret it. It does however give that duty to our federal courts. Should we just ignore that part in our Constitution?

Shouldn't the interpretation of our Constitution be left to the Supreme Court? I mean, the Constitution explicitly grants the Court those powers.
