The Patriot Post® · Cruz Quantifies Lawlessness

We all know that the Obama administration is generally lawless, but Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) wanted to quantify it. Cruz’s “Legal Limit Report No. 4” documents “76 instances of lawlessness and other abuses of power” by Barack Obama. “Rule of law means that we are a nation ruled by laws, not men,” Cruz said, echoing one of our major themes. “No one – and especially not the president – is above the law. For that reason, the U.S. Constitution imposes on every president the express duty to ‘take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.’ Rather than honor this duty, President Obama has openly defied it by repeatedly suspending, delaying, and waiving portions of the laws that he is charged to enforce.” Arguably, we’d be better off if Obama just sat out the next three years, but that’s not his job.
