“Maybe these fed agencies have a grudge against us.”
Our Declaration of Independence spoke to the intolerable existence of this very circumstance:
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
(After Ripper orders a nuclear strike) Gen. Buck Turgidson: Mr. President, you are the only one who has that authority. And, although I hate to judge before all the facts are in, it appears That Gen. Ripper has exceeded his authority.
Really! The Citizens get to make decisions for themselves, you know, self governing? Unelected Bureaucrats (Politburo) is Bad, very very bad.
After the news about Gorsuch, rats are going to be even more motivated to torpedo Trump, because Thomas and Alito are not getting younger.
Yes indeed.
CNN adores the bureaucracy.
I wish Gorsuch great success convincing Roberts to help remove our chains.
Supreme Court 9, Administrative State 0
In April 2023, the Supreme Court struck a blow supporting our Constitution and individual liberties. Beginning in the late nineteenth century, citizens began losing many of their freedoms through administrative edicts. Appeals of these regulations had to be made to courts within the agency, which has already found the people guilty. Such power harks back to discretions of English kings unrestrained by Parliament found in such places as King’s Council and the Star Chamber.
The Supreme Court acted to reassert the jurisdiction of district and circuit courts and the legislature as established by the Constitution. All power was to reside there, so Americans could avoid the sad experience of English citizens. Justice Kagan delivered the unanimous opinion of the court saying, “One respondent attacks as well the combination of prosecutorial and adjudicatory functions in a single agency….They maintain in essence that the agencies as currently structured, are unconstitutional in much of their work”.
You and I could relate too many examples of people’s frustrating experiences facing government bureaucrats. Their sufferings cause me to reflect on a passage where Fredrick Douglass describes overseer duties. I only substituted for the words slave, overseer, and master.
“No matter how innocent a citizen might be it availed him nothing when accused by the bureaucrat of any violation of a regulation. To be accused was to be convicted and to be convicted was to be punished….To escape punishment was to escape accusation….few citizens had the fortune to do either under the overseership of the agency.”

Mao was right, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."
“Death by a thousand agencies.”
Sorry but there’s only around 600.

CNN sucks.
CNN is Evil.
CNN is a horrible source. Only idiots believe the crap they spew.
If you count things like Federal forestry agencies and the like, the number is over 2000...
Although... no one seems to know for sure... https://www.forbes.com/sites/ranawehbe/2024/01/16/50-over-50-asia-2024/?sh=6e1fb5f5183a
1 UnConstitutional office is too many.

NOT Federally
Well stated on all counts.

“If you count things like Federal forestry agencies and the like, the number is over 2000...”
Good grief.
Thanks
Don’t shoot the messenger. Your attempt to minimize the issue prompted my response.
As stated, ONE Federal agency acting outside of the US Constitutions limits on Federal power is too many. 1+n is the problem. Be it 200 or 200000.
Art 1 Sec 8 is a REALLY short list and doesn’t require even a 10th of what the FedGov size is currently at.
