    Can SCOTUS over rule the OLC?

    Assuming that like Bybee/Yoo come up with an outrageous opinion that the AG and POTUS go along with, how could this be overturned?

    Could some citizen with standing file in a U.S. District Court and then the loser appeal to the Supremes?

    Is it really that simple ? (I know it isn't really simple)

    Chief
