Original Title: TIL about the Case of Prohibitions, a 1607 court ruling by Chief Justice Edward Coke that overturned a decision of King James I to his face. The King was greatly offended and said it was treason to assert an authority above the king, except god. Coke replied: the King is “under God and law.”
