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⚠️
I am aware of the rampant abuse in these agencies and my understanding is that Congress sets policy(strategy) and allows the agency to set the rules to implement it(tactics). My take was the ruling was to reconcile two conflicting policies (one Obama & one Trump) in regards to power plants. I’ll read deeper.
Sometimes yes there is a logical legal flow of Congressional lawmaking to the agency which then arranges its affairs accordingly. But then sometimes a federal agency head is appointed and does whatever they want for any reason.
Guns are a good example. What parts of a gun make it so that the ATF can regulate or prohibit said parts? It's a Byzantine labyrinth that only professional gun dealers understand. Why does one part one inch longer or a legal part installed on some other section of a gun make that gun an illegal gun? There's no law from the legislative branch outlining any of it.
And, per guns, there is nothing in the Constitution that empowers the Congress to make any laws respecting them---except to arm the citizen militia. The only true Constitutional power of the ATF is collection of tax on alcohol.
Bingo. One old timer in DC shouted that the ATF can't exist legally. Guns are Constitutionally protected, tobacco is legal, and ETOH is protected for sale by amendment.
My understanding is the same about Congress setting policy and allowing agencies to rule. However, some agencies were created by executive orders, not Congress. Therein lies the problem...
Exactly. Are E.O. only created agencies like the FBI even legal? All of the people being harassed by a political FBI run amok now have the means to demand they not only cease but disband the agency over-reach.
