The Constitution does not authorize Congress to delegate its legislative authority away.
Respectfully, you are a little late to the party. The Administrative Procedures Act is a legacy of the Roosevelt Administration. The act has withstood various tests in the Supreme Court. I am quite familiar with its implementation while on the receiving end of Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations affecting the commercial nuclear power plants I have worked at.
Exactamundo.
But what the SCOTUS ruels on today is nothing but corporate law - and those laws are written with the PRESUMPTION OF SLAVERY.
Not "metaphorical" slavery. Real, actual, the-government-owns-your-existence slavery. THAT is the actual, legal presumption of corporate law, regarding the relationship between the government and any corporation.
Amd that's why corporate "rights" are the biggest lie on the planet. "Corporate rights" is actually a 'term-of-art' that means the PRIVILEGES granted to corporations by the government, for the benefit of the government alone.
So you can see why, if this complete reversal of the original Constitution and the Declaration of Independence were, for example, to be presumed upon non-corporate human beings, it would... cause problems.
Welcome to our world.
I'm not sure. It isn't science.
