JD, there is little the House can do. Phyllis Borzi and her minions at the Employee Benefits Security Administration are running wild through the regulations process to long existing statutes with very aggressive re-interpretations of how they apply. Borzi’s shock-troops are also tearing through the federal court systems with amicus briefs telling the bench how to apply the law in many cases. It empowers the liberal judges and the conservative judges are rejecting the march to expanded power.
