Ted Cruz Targets Extreme Federal Power Grabs

Ted Cruz, the newest senator from Texas, published a report, “The Legal Limit: The Obama Administration’s Attempts To Expand Federal Power”,  critiquing the Obama administration’s attempts to expand federal power in ways that defy constitutional boundaries.  His report highlights six cases that came before the US Supreme Court since January, in which the court ruled that the Obama administration exceeded constitutional limits on federal power.  The six cases Senator Cruz details cover many different constitutional areas, from religious freedoms to the attaching GPS to a private citizen’s car with no just cause needed.  This report shows the nearly limitless view of federal power that President Obama holds, where he thinks the US Constitution should be about the government’s power  (to control you), not a protection of the people from government excesses.  This administration needs a refresher course on The Federalist Papers (free here).
