Exactly.

And while the lot here debate the pros vs. cons, the question(s) that never gets brought up:

Why does gov’t need power/law XYZ?
What area of the Constitution grants power/law XYZ?
Would this not be better handled or legal at the State level?
What further Rights, Liberty and/or Freedom be impacted by law XYZ?

IMHO, these are the true test of all (L) doctrine.

One more: Does this law abdicate the legislative responsibilities of the Legislature to an Executive branch bureaucracy in the form of promulgated regulations?

(Take the EPA as a shining example).

IMHO, this is not just surrendering power by the legislature, it is passing the buck so the legislators can be reelected despite the insanity of some of the regulations which will (predictably) result. Checks and balances are damaged as a result, and the agencies get to write their own ticket.
