Even more worrisome, though, is what the court’s reasoning means for our ability to address national challenges going forward. The majority stopped the order based on a wildly anachronistic vision of how the federal government should operate — one that would require Congress itself, rather than federal agencies, to micromanage complex problems.

Rule by unelected bureaucrats is nothing new. But this college professor would prefer that to to people governing themselves through their legislatures.
As William F. Buckley once said, he would rather be governed by the first two hundred names in the Boston phone book than all the faculty at Harvard.
Requiring the legislative branch to pass laws is wildly anachronistic?
I guess it would be, in a post-modern world.
Oh no you mean the congress will need to act?
Even more worrisome, though, is the misconception that yahoo is actually a news agency
and not a yellow rag.
Imagine the horror if they’d applied the 10th Amendment?
The lost Amendment Zero:
Americans shall be ruled by bureaucrats.
“one that would require Congress itself, rather than federal agencies, to micromanage complex problems”
The writer expressed the epitome of Progressive political thought - rule by experts, because democracy is messy and you cannot “depend” on elected representatives to make the “right” choices.
They cannot stand the idea of “experts” having to make their case to Congress and Congress having to then decide to act or not and if to act then to decide how to act. That leaves the Progressives with no assurance democracy will produce the results demanded by the “experts” and if Congress won’t then to the Progressive democracy fails.
tyranny is much more modern
How dare they defy the führer.
They think they are morally and intellectually superior because they don’t believe in God, but their religion is bureaucracy and their gods are professional affirmative action bureaucrats.
Yes. Far worse for you Leftist clowns trying to thug our citizenry by depriving people of personal freedom.
You are allowed to sequester yourself and to that matter I’d greatly appreciate you doing so.
Please go lock yourself up so we don’t have to listen to your drivel.
Bingo.
And to sharpen Buckley's point, the author who is a law professor and the national legal director of the ACLU has this to say in his bottom line:
"...we desperately need to respond effectively to the two greatest threats we face — the pandemic and climate change."
It’s the idea that we should be governed by laws and not by executive rules and regulations. The article mentions W.Va vs the EPA in an upcoming case over environmental regulations.
The EPA has gone bat guano crazy over the years and it seems there’s a good chance the SCOTUS is going to vastly limit the power of the EPA (and by extension, all Federal agencies). If so, it will be one of the most important rulings in the history of the Court.
The widely outdated Constitution?
That's what they think.

Hahaha it would force Congress to “micromanage”.
What a load of hooey.
It has nothing to do with the complexity of the problem. It has everything to do with the authorization that Congress has granted.
The majority of the court stopped the order, because they did not see specific authorization granting OSHA authority to mandate vaccines. They did see specific authorization for Medicare to mandate vaccines to health care workers.
The precedent set by the court whether intentional or not, is that Congress does have authority to mandate vaccines.
This a is feature , not a bug. To a Communist mind , the thought that somebody , somewhere, is not under their control is a frightening possibility!
