  • I’m saying “the way the US government works doesn’t match what the US constitutions says” and I’m getting angry responses saying “no, it’s not working that way!” Yes, that’s what I said.

    You’re arguing that congress doesn’t have the authority to delegate policy to federal agencies. This is where I disagree. They do not need a specific mandate to take action. That’s not what the Constitution says, and that’s not what legal precedent said until a wholly ineligible SCOTUS claimed otherwise. They have no enforcement arm whatsoever. Federal agencies should continue regulating as normal and ignore the courts. If Congress wants to pass a law stating “this is HOW we want you to regulate this specific area”, that’s great (they wont, because inaction is fine with conservatives). But I’m not accepting this magical waiving of a wand to now put the entire day to day operation of our federal government in the hands of Congress.
