If Obama’s Department of Justice were successful in its cases, the federal government would have the power to:
•
Attach a GPS to a citizen’s vehicle to monitor his movements, without having any cause to believe that person committed a crime (
United States v. Jones
);
•
Deprive landowners of the right to challenge potential government fines as high as $75,000 per day and eliminate 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
);
•
Impose double income taxation (
PPL Corp. v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue
);
•
Limit a property owner’s constitutional defenses (
Horne v. USDA
); and
•
Drastically expand federal criminal law (
Sekhar v. United States
). The arguments advanced in these cases demonstrate an astonishing view of federal power on behalf of the Obama Administration, worthy of further examination.
