I worked in DC as a low level federal agency administrative assistant/research for years, and trust me the SCOTUS WV v. EPA Ruling ROCKS THE CASBAH - Bigger Win Than Roe End imho

⚠️Seizure warning⚠️
One thing that Congress and the Administrative Law Superstate spent endless hours, months, years on was what each had to do and could not do. A whole administrative law class evolved to try to delineate what is administrative law rulemaking that the SCOTUS just put the kibosh on. A lazy Congress hates to do work if they can pawn it off and the admin state/exec branch will expand into that vacuum for any reason. This ends the nightmare Eisenhower warned us about. It also creates a more muscular Congress that must work or die. NO more stuffed shirt posers who can't make law because they are someone's paid off muppet.
Congress critters then can’t use regulatory agencies as shield for doing bad policy. And they take credit for any good things that happen but can just blame the agencies for the ‘bad implementation’ of Congress’ intent.
I think laziness is the best case scenario. I think the most important concern is that Congress has been able to empower an unaccountable group to carry out an agenda.
This point is so salient that it's enlightenment shouldn't just be relegated to a comment on a post, on an anonymous discussion board.
It needs it prime time Maria Bartiromo exposure/analysis.
I disagree about the "laziness" theory. I see it as something more sinister, the left using the admin powers of the govt. to push their agenda through. Instead of passing some form of "green new deal" which would be wildly unpopular they can just push their agenda via proxy through the EPA.
This new ruling is great! It limits the scope of power allotted to agencies like the EPA where they can pull laws out of their ass and impose it on the rest of us under the guise of "administration".
I wish they had gone much farther. I don't think executive branch rule making is appropriate, period. It's just lawmaking by another name. And per Article II Congress is supposed to exclusively make law, not punt to a bunch of bureaucrats. And but for a little tweaking here and there, is there really that much more law necessary? Don't kill people or steal their shit or molest kids. That gets us 90% there IMO.
