“For example, Congress improperly delegates legislative power when it authorizes an entity other than itself to make a determination that requires an exercise of legislative power.”
Such as the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure prescribed by court order by the Supreme Court and delivered to the Speaker by CJ Roberts.

<>We have overseen and sanctioned the growth of an administrative system that concentrates the power to make laws and the power to enforce them in the hands of a vast and unaccountable
administrative apparatus that finds no comfortable home in our constitutional structure. The end result may be trains that run on time (although I doubt it), but the cost is to our Constitution and the individual liberty it protects.<>
Judge Thomas stopped just short of calling out Obama for the tyrant he is, for the administrative apparatus serves at the pleasure of El Presidente. Every ministerial outrage is made with his implicit consent.

One of the problems we have now is that all of Congress, and the President are essentially elected by the same group. This has led to the growth of power of the political party, as they can sway that group into selecting their slate of candidates.
There is no longer any sort of adversarial role between Congress and the Executive branch.
Prior to the 17th Amendment, the Senate was selected by the state legislatures, and while they were also elected by the people, there was a layer of independence, and so the Senate could act to preserve their own power, their own authority, and would be better advocates for their own state.
As it is now, the President, the Senate, and the House are all primarily devoted to serving their party, and the people and the states are secondary.
And since the Judiciary is selected by the President and Senate, they have become also devoted to party first.
Thus, the entire government is effectively run by the political parties. And if you’re not part of the party, you don’t have much of a voice.
