>>They are limiting the ability of the government to make and enforce laws.

They are in fact doing the exact opposite - telling elected officials that you need to make and enforce laws - not give that responsibility to someone else.

Do you think the IRS should be able to set tax rates? then how is this different?




Congress passed a law to delegate their power and authority to the EPA.

If Congress made a law that the IRS should have the power to set tax rates, then I'd be fine with them being able to set tax rates. Because I think that Congress should have the power to delegate a portion of their power, should they choose to.

This is a weird, and frankly idiotic ruling. Regulations are too complicated and numerous for Congress to decide on every single one. Have you ever read one? They go into excruciating detail about everything because they are written by experts. The best case outcome from this is that the new rules from agencies get tossed into some existing process so that they are rubber stamped, thus adding red tape.
