"Shut them down!"

Shut down all of these agencies that are not subject to the democratic process and are usually managed and staffed by Big Government Lefties who want to further the Progressive Agenda at all costs.

According to Article One, Section One of the Constitution, that would be all of them. "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives." Not that I have a problem with that; just thought you should know the size of the problem.

Only Congress has the right of legislative power, i.e. the right to enact laws. Whether you call something a law, a regulation, or a rule, it is the same animal. The ability of the executive branch to define the extent of the law crept into the country at an early stage of the republic's life, and should have been stomped to death then. Now we are drowning in buckets of it.
