Trey Gowdy: Obama’s Lawlessness “Has Reached an Unprecedented Level”

People are waking up. There is a growing group of people pushing back against Obama’s abuse of power.

A judge ruled againstObama and blasted him for his “secret law” and “cavalier attitude” about transparency. Another judge confirmed that his spying of innocent Americans is a blatant violation of the Fourth Amendment. Rep. Justin Amash warns that he “is setting the stage for something dangerous” by operating beyond the bounds of the Constitution. Sen. Mike Lee explained why Congress must stop Obama’s dictatorial rampage before it is too late. Thirty congressmen are suing him for his unconstitutional Obamacare “fix.”   

Among the group of principled congressmen joining together to prosecute the president is Rep. Trey Gowdy. He says that Obama’s lawlessness “has reached unprecedented levels.”

The Daily Caller writes:

South Carolina Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy said Sunday that the Obama administration’s deliberate flouting of congressional law “has reached an unprecedented level,” claiming the time is now ripe for Congress to take the White House to court over executive overreach.

Gowdy spoke with Fox News’ Shannon Bream about a House resolution authorizing a congressional lawsuit against the executive branch. Although individual lawmakers do not have standing to challenge the president, the provision would allow the institution of Congress itself to sue the Obama administration for ignoring laws passed by the legislative body.

“The case law that says members don’t have standing also allows for the institution itself — under a theory of vote nullification, that if the executive is just nullifying the votes of a co-equal branch of government — that we may have standing,” Gowdy said. “So an individual member — the case you referenced was Dennis Kucinich challenging the actions in Libya — he does not have standing. But the institution of Congress as a whole, if it relates to recess appointments or the Affordable Care Act or immigration, courts have signaled that they may say the institution itself has standing, and that’s what [South Carolina Republican Rep. Tom Rice] is trying to do with his resolution.”

Obama and his administration believe they are above the law they were elected to enforce and protect. Transparency and accountability are completely absent from his administration and it is time for Congress to step up and do something about it. The president must be kept in check.
