What he is trying to say is that the United States is a dictatorship now. Congress is irrelevant.
Congress needs to write the laws to ensure agencies DO NOT have discretionary nor regulatory powers. Well written law, just like a well written Statement of Work for a contract, is a complete set of instructions having taken into account every possible contractors semantics wriggle room, unforeseen circumstance, and unintended consequence.
I know. I’ve been writing statements of work for federal contracts for +30 years for some hefty electronics projects.
Elections have become courtesies, formalities extended to a people who wish to believe they still live in a constitutional and free republic.
I have long prided myself in never neglecting to do my civic duty and vote.
I no longer regard it as a duty, for only the shell, the outward forms of our republic remains.
