    Senator Ted Cruz on the Legal Limit Report

    In the last 15 months, the U.S. Supreme Court has unanimously rejected 6 instances where the Obama administration argued for increased federal power.

    Had President Obama been successful in these six cases, the federal government would have the power to . . .

    Attach GPSs to a person’s vehicle to monitor her movements, without having any cause to believe that she had committed a crime (United States v. Jones).

    Deprive landowners of the right to challenge government fines as high as $75,000 per day and deny their ability to 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).

    Destroy private property without paying just compensation (Arkansas Fish & Game Commission v. United States).

  • Infographic: The Food Stamp Presidency

    Food Stamp Presidency

    One of the keys in understanding any infographic is checking to see how the information – and especially the data – is presented. For instance, in the above infographic, the increase in food stamp recipients under Obama is exaggerated because the baseline is 20 million rather than zero.

    Yes, the increase in food stamp recipients in the last four years is very dramatic, but it looks even more dramatic because of the baseline for the current graphic.

    While Bush wasn’t a great president by any measure, he did only increase food stamp recipients by half a million as compared to the 16 million new food stamp recipients under Obama (although another source puts the increase in food stamp recipients at only 15 million).

    Note: I don’t remember the source of this graphic and cannot read the printing at the bottom of the graphic.
