“John Lewis, a 73-year-old congressman and one of the last surviving lieutenants of Martin Luther King, said Snowden could claim he was appealing to ‘a higher law’ when he disclosed top secret documents showing the extent of NSA surveillance of both Americans and foreigners.  When it was pointed out to Lewis that many in Washington believed that Snowden was simply a criminal, he replied: ‘Some people say criminality or treason or whatever. He could say he was acting because he was appealing to a higher law. Many of us have some real, real, problems with how the government has been spying on people.'”
