Statement of Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith
Full Committee Hearing on
The Obama Administration’s Abuse of Power

Chairman Smith: This Committee has held hearings on many of the ways in which the Obama Administration has abused its power, ignored its duties, evaded responsibility and overstepped the Constitution’s limits on the President.

Today's hearing will look at the pattern of ignoring constitutional limits created by all of these abuses.

The Administration has repeatedly put its partisan agenda above the rule of law. In doing so, it has eroded the constitutional and legal foundations that have kept America prosperous and free for over 200 years.

etc. ... Yadda, yadda, yadda.
