Actually, when an attorney is asked to render a legal opinion, he or she is interpreting the law. Agreeably, he can't create new law; but it is definitely interpreting it.

That is the entire point of a prior legal opinion -- to insure that the ensuing transaction is done in accordance with how the relevant statutory and case law is interpreted.


LOL, nice try. So if my lawyer says I can commit murder I should go ahead?

The Bush admin is subject to the laws of the land as interpreted by the courts and juries, like everyone else. If their lawyer said "OK", doesn't make a bit of difference.
