Lawrence Lessig on the West Wing

The key point from Lawrence Lessig's appearance on the West Wing:

"... it captured beautifully the single most important thing that I learned from my years working on "constitutionalism" in Eastern Europe: That 90% of the challenge is to build a culture that respects the rule of law, and that practices it. A document doesn't build that culture. And no one has a formula -- either for building it, or preserving it." [emphasis added]

In that context, what are the effects of the Bush Administration's contempt for international and US law likely to be?
