“The most chilling words this President has stated during his last five-plus years in office are, ‘Where Congress won’t act, I will.’ Nothing could be more antithetical to the government that our Founders established, which created a nation of laws and not of men. A renowned and liberal legal scholar recently testified before Congress that we have reached a ‘constitutional tipping point.’ I agree. The time has long since passed to hold this President accountable for his numerous Constitutional violations,” said Miller.

The list of unconstitutional executive decrees is legion from the dozens of changes to ObamaCare clearly crafted for political gain, to changing our immigration laws, to the re-writing and re-interpreting of the EPA’s authority in order to create new ‘climate change’ laws out of whole cloth, to altering the work requirements for welfare recipients, to refusing to enforce DOMA and thereby appropriating unto himself both the authority of the legislative and the judicial branches of government, this President’s lawless acts threaten the present and future liberty of our nation.

The Constitution of the United States is a document based upon centuries of history in the advance in the cause of liberty. The Founders knew their inheritance as English citizens and as beings created in the image of God and crafted a document to “secure the blessings of liberty” for themselves and future generations. Our inheritance as Americans is the freedom to govern our own lives free from tyrannical rule. This is the truth contained in the Declaration of Independence, the abolishment of the Star Chamber, the Magna Carta, and based upon the laws of nature and nature’s God.

The Constitution divides power among the three branches of government, so ambition would counteract ambition as the document’s ‘Father’ James Madison wrote, and guard against any taking of authority a particular branch does not have. The ENFORCE the Law Act is a powerful and much needed step to restore the balance of power between the branches.

“We have not come through centuries of hard fought gains in the cause of liberty, through war and peace, only to have its cause reversed in our day. I urge Senator Begich to support the swift passage of the ENFORCE the Law Act,” said Miller.
