Obama’s Continual Violation of the Law, Ethics and Morality

A Department of Homeland Security internet address is tied to entries in Wikipedia accusing Representative Kevin McCarthy and Representative Renee Ellmers of having an affair.

The IRS targeted conservative groups and groups have Patriot or Tea Party in their names. When the scandal broke in May 2013, Attorney General Eric Holder announced an FBI investigation over the targeting of conservative groups. Two years later: nothing!

Federal judges repeatedly slammed the Obama administration for non-compliance with court orders blocking executive actions on immigration, failure to turn over Lois Lerner emails to Judicial Watchdog, and State Department non-responsiveness in the Hillary Clinton email scandal.

In an extraordinary attack on the First Amendment, the Obama Justice Department in 2012 ordered criminal investigations of FOX news reporters for doing their jobs.

After more than 300,000 captured illegal aliens had been processed, and were waiting to be deported President Obama ordered deportations stopped and directed the Border Patrol to release many of the illegal aliens in violation of the law.

The Obama administration has continually attacked religious freedom through Obamacare regulations, which violate the First Amendment and the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

Eric Holder lied to Congress about his knowledge of Fast and Furious, and the resultant death of Agent Brian Terry. Holder was held in contempt of Congress. Obama asserted Executive Privilege but for Executive Privilege to apply, Obama had to have knowledge of Fast and Furious, making Obama as guilty as Holder.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulated the internet despite a court order from the Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., stating the FCC does not have the authority or power to regulate the internet.

Obama made “recess appointments” to the National Labor Relations Board and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau when Congress was not in recess. Obama arrogantly deemed that Congress was in recess. The District of Columbia Court of Appeals ruled Obama’s appointments unconstitutional Obama ignored the Court.

The Obama administration is required by law to submit not only the Iran nuclear agreement but also all side agreements to Congress. Obama signed this law. He also ignored and violated the law.

The Obama administration violated federal law when it released five senior Taliban leaders from prison, without notifying Congress, in an alleged exchange for an American deserter.

In August 2014, two-thirds of the Inspectors General who serve in the Obama administration sent a letter to Congress saying that several executive branch agencies were refusing to comply with documents and interview requests as authorized under the Inspector General Act of 1978. The administration ignored the letter.

The Obama Justice Department admitted in Court to Judge Andrew Hanen that is willingly violated Judge Hanen’s injunction against Obama’s immigration plan.  Judge Hanen concluded  that the Obama administration “has announced, and has now confirmed under oath, that it is pursuing a policy  of mandatory non-compliance (with the Immigration and Nationality Act), and that any agent who seek to enforce the duly-enacted immigration laws will face sanctions –which could include the loss of his or her job. . .”

The Obama administration routinely and unilaterally amended the statutory provisions of Obamacare in violation of federal law.

The Obama administration illegally spent taxpayer dollars and violated federal laws by promoting the nationalization of education through Common Core. The General Education Provisions Act (GEPA 20 United States Code § 1232a), Disabilities Education Organization Act (DEOA 20 United States Code § 3403b) and Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA 20 United States Code § 7907a, b) essentially state the same restrictions:

  1. GEPA: No provision of any applicable program shall be construed to authorize any department, agency, officer, or employee of the United States to exercise any direction, supervision, or control over the curriculum, program of instruction, administration, or personnel of any educational institution, school, or school system, or over the selection of library resources, textbooks, or other printed or published instructional materials by any educational institution or school system.
  2. DEOA: No officer or employee of the Federal Government is authorized to mandate, direct, or control a State, local educational agency, or school’s curriculum, program of instruction, or allocation of State or local resources, or mandate a State or any subdivision thereof to spend any funds or incur any costs not paid for under this statute.
  3. ESEA: Notwithstanding any other prohibition of Federal law, no funds provided to the Department under this statute may be used by the Department to endorse, approve, or sanction any curriculum designed to be used in an elementary school or secondary school.

Further, 20 United States Code § 3401, Finding # 4 – Congress clearly stated that, “In our Federal system, the primary public responsibility for education is reserved respectively to the States and the local school systems and other instrumentalities of the States.” 

Is there no end to Obama’s corruption, criminality and willful violation of the law?  And it appears that Obama appoints people who, like Obama, are predisposed to violating the law: Eric Holder (DOJ), John Koskinen (IRS), Tom Wheeler (FCC),  Jeh Johnson (DHS), Ernest Moniz (DOE), Arne Duncan (Education), Thomas Perez (DOL), and Richard Cordray (CFPB).

I, for one, cannot wait for this national nightmare to end. Obama, his cronies and his corrupt administration have been an embarrassment to America and to the world.
