the seperation of powers doctrine in the Constitution prohibits executive agencies such as the FTC from regulating beyond the scope of their authority as delegated by Congress

Again, isn't that "delegation" precisely what was accomplished in the statute passed by Congress and signed by the President a few months ago?

I don't know because I haven't read the court's decision or the statute. I'm not saying the district court is right. What I am saying is that we ought to read the court's decision before blasting the result. The goal here should be to applaud any court decision that prohibits a government agency from legislating by regulatory enactment beyond the scope of its enabling authority.
