The Legal Limit: The Obama Administration's Attempts to Expand Federal Power

Press Release

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, today released his third report on the Obama Administration's attempts to expand federal power, specifically as it relates to federal encroachment upon the state of Texas. He highlights ten cases in which Texas was forced to file lawsuits to prevent the Obama Administration from usurping powers reserved for the states, and five additional pending lawsuits challenging the Administration's overreach into state governance.

"As Americans continue to suffer from a struggling economy, exacerbated by the misguided and botched Obamacare legislation, the worst thing the federal government could do is burden states that have managed to achieve economic growth in spite of the stifling federal regulatory environment," Sen. Cruz said. "Unfortunately Texas must constantly defend itself against President Obama's expansive view of federal power, and I applaud Texas's legal challenges under the leadership of Attorney General Greg Abbott against this Administration's assault on state sovereignty. I hope others will follow his lead."
