Texas Conservative Republican News: Sen. Cruz Releases Inaugural Report on Obama Administra​tion’s Unpreceden​ted Attempts to Expand Federal Power

Sen. Cruz’s report highlights the six cases that the Supreme Court has unanimously rejected since January 2012. Had President Obama’s Department of Justice been successful in its cases, the federal government would have the power to:

Attach GPSs to a citizen’s vehicle to monitor his movements, without having any cause to believe that a person has committed a crime (United States v. Jones);

Deprive landowners of the right to challenge potential government fines as high as $75,000 per day and take away their ability have a hearing to challenge those fines (Sackett v. EPA);

Interfere with a church’s selection of its own ministers. (Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church & School v. EEOC);

Override state law whenever the President desires. (Arizona v. United States);

Dramatically extend statutes of limitations to impose penalties for acts committed decades ago. (Gabelli v. SEC); and
Destroy private property without paying just compensation. (Arkansas Fish & Game Commission v. United States).

I'm thankful to hear about this.

I wish the Patriot act had been appealed.

It to me is as bad as these things.

Mandate that one purchase a "private" good/service or pay a tax (fine?) for not appropriately spending their income as directed. Ignore enforcement of federal immigration law, as written, citing a "lack of resources" as justification for selectively enforcing the law as he sees fit. Ignore enforcement of federal marijuana laws in states that he likes yet challenge election law changes in states that he does not like.

That is part of the problem--conservatives let GWB get away with a lot of things unchecked and now that we know what those things are, they have lost the high ground by their collusion by ignorance.

Expecting the Federal Congress to vote to limit federal power is foolish.
