520 _aGreene argues that citizens are not morally obligated to obey the law and that officials need not follow prior or higher authority when reading the Constitution. The sources of authority in a liberal democracy are multiple--the law must compete with other norms. Constitutional meaning is not locked in, historically or by the Supreme Court.
