While we slept these past 70 years, Congress assigned its lawmaking responsibility to unelected agencies. No Congressman, not even the worst rats would legislate such fines. For unelected agencies to write their rules, establish enforcement and punishment for violations is the definition of tyranny. We let this happen. It must stop. Lean hard on your Congress-critters.

Excellent blogs/vanities.

I especially appreciated the words of Locke who said legislatures could not assign their legislative duties.

Well, a few weeks ago I listened to Justices Breyer and Scalia, in a jovial and friendly Senate hearing, say in so many words that lawmaking by agencies was almost always just peachy and Constitutional.

We are no longer governed. We are ruled. The problem with the EPA is not that it writes outrageous rules, but rather that it is allowed to write any rules at all.
