The accumulation of all powers legislative, executive and judiciary in the same hands, whether of one, a few or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny. - Madison, Federalist #47.

And exactly what is an administrative agency? To use an example everyone is familiar with, take the Dept. of Motor Vehicles (or whatever they call it where you are.) The administrative head of that agency is vested with police powers (look it up) so he's the executive. He's vested with lawmaking power (look it up) so he's legislates. He also conducts adjudicatory hearings & any court hearing alleged violations of the motor vehicle code is merely acting as his agent - so he's also the judiciary.

The state legislatures created his office, not the people by and through their Constitutions so these ___holes effectively self-appointed a King of Movement.

Now, is it possible that the framers would have ok'd a government where the powers of the three branches of government were accumulated in 50 different Kings (administrative agencies) ruling from on high at the state and federal capitols?

Is it possible that any of that bull____ administrative law actually applies to you unless these <expletive deleted> admit that they've committed treason and overthrown our government?

I agree. Its simply that I have not finished with them and pulled quotes. The fact is, you see quotes from them all the time, they're simply not identified as being part of that group of works known as the "Anti-Federalist" paper.
