Cruz: Obama’s view of federal power 'knows virtually no bounds'
Know that we've still got one statesman in Washington fighting for liberty, while so many others are waning. It's time to hold the rest to as high a standard.
CNSNews: Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) released a report documenting attempted abuses of federal power by the Obama administration on Tuesday, saying the administration “knows virtually no bounds.”
Cruz points to Obama’s own Supreme Court appointees, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, to make his case:
"When President Obama’s own Supreme Court nominees join their colleagues in unanimously rejecting the Administration’s call for broader federal power six times in just over one year, the inescapable conclusion is that the Obama Administration’s view of federal power knows virtually no bounds,” the senator’s report said.
The Obama administration’s over-reaching includes attempts to electronically track Americans without cause and deny churches the right to choose their own ministers.
Cruz, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on The Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights, said the cases “demonstrate an astonishing view of federal power on behalf of the Obama Administration.”
“If the Department of Justice had won these cases, the federal government would be able to electronically track all of our movements, fine us without a fair hearing, dictate who churches choose as ministers, displace state laws based on the President’s whims, bring debilitating lawsuits against individuals based on events that occurred years ago, and destroy a person’s private property without just compensation,” he said.
“Luckily, we do not have to live in that America,” Cruz added.
Cruz also appeared on the Mark Levin Show last night to discuss the anti-gun agenda, its deception and all the wrong approaches of Congress...
On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show: Mark talks about how the 2nd Amendment is essentially being voted on this coming Thursday and they are not following the correct protocols to do so. Mark talks about Constitutional conventions, and how this should go to the states and have 3/4s of the states vote on it if they want to change the Amendment. Just because one doesn't exercise every single Amendment, doesn't mean that this fight isn't important. This is about us the people and our Constitution, while Congress is trying to legislate against us. They're acting like our rights don't matter and we can't allow this. Why do they fear letting the American people see what is in the gun control bill? The 2nd Amendment allows us to be the ones to defend our families, and not have to wait for the government to protect us when there's a robber. Finally, Senator Ted Cruz calls in and talks about the ongoing gun control debates and a possible filibuster.
ADDENDUM: Here's more on Hannity last night...
MofoPolitics: Hypothetical: Guns are banned tomorrow. What happens?
Law-abiding citizens turn in their weapons (presumably). Police don’t. Politicians don’t. Their armed guards don’t. Criminals don’t. The only people that would actually be disarmed are those the Founding Fathers specifically intended to be armed.
