Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan says he's willing to wield broad regulatory power to enact President Biden's climate agenda if Congress fails to pass meaningful climate legislation.
Think about that: the Constitution is quite clear about who, in the federal government, has sole legislative power. Here it is, in Section 1 of Article I:
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.
There's nothing ambiguous about that language. Yet Michael Regan, a man no American elected, who's spent his entire life as a government functionary without a single experience in the private sector, has announced to Congress that he plans to usurp that institution's unique power.
And Regan's not talking about massaging some rules around the edges. Oh, no. He wants the whole enchilada, including a lot of taxpayer money and rules that will profoundly damage America's middle class:

Another bureaucracy that could be eliminated without anyone noticing except the whiny tree buggers.
What’s this clown going to do when President Trump takes over in 2025?
Shoot himself hopefully?
Somebody supported these stupid Democrat sons of bitches.
Probably the same idiots who come here and write that the Republicans are in charge.
By his threats to take over the powers of the Legislative Branch of government, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan is conspiring to overthrow the Constitution of the United States of America. That is sedition.
The Dems continue to show themselves for what they are, communists. The ends justifies the means. The constitution and rule of law or irrelevant.
The media cheers, and for the most part, the public isn’t interested.
“Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan says he’s willing to wield broad regulatory power to enact President Biden’s climate agenda if Congress fails to pass meaningful climate legislation.”
More tyranny of government ... what a surprise.
When Trump assumes his rightful Presidency he needs to terminate everyone he could during his first 30 days. Not doing this was his biggest mistake in my opinion.
Congress used to jealously guard its powers, and rightly so. But now they outsource much of that power. Legislation is passed giving bureaucrats the power to regulate. Then the bureaucrats regulate any damn way they please. No further authorization is necessary.
The most outrageous example of Congress’s outsourcing is their outsourcing of war powers. No need to vote on a declaration of war any more. Just pass a resolution allowing the president to attack other countries whenever he feels like it (yes, George W. Bush, I’m talking about you).
He’ll know exactly what to do and who....he’s walked that terrain for four years prior.
Someone should call ag merrick garland. No doubt he’ll be all over it.
Treating them like business people didn’t help. Their only business is enriching themselves at tax payers expense.
We have the most anti-American President, Vice=President and Administration ever in our History as a nation.......and they have 3 more years to tear this nation down.
