How SCOTUS’ upcoming climate ruling could defang Washington - POLITICO

Congress should not be able to delegate legislative authority to agencies.

[MisterVeritis]

I agree that no regulation should legally be able to add a fine or jail time if the legislation doesn't include that language.

That is insufficient.

Congress should not be able to delegate legislative authority to agencies.

They aren't suppose to, I agree.

And the executive agencies should be limiting their regulations to implementing the legislation and just the legislation that was passed into law.

[Peter1469]

That is insufficient.

Regardless, my agreement stands.

I wonder why you support this? The Constitution does not grant any legislative authority to the Executive branch. Combining the ability to make and enforce a law is the basis for tyranny. Do you support tyranny now, Peter?

I don't consider a regulation that adds zero of relevance to a law to be tyranny. An example of tyranny is a government ordered / coerced mask mandate.

Please reconsider. Our form of government explicitly divided up the powers so writing laws was completely separate from enforcing and from judging the laws. It is our Constitution you so lightly set aside.

Regulations should also be different from a law insomuch as they are adding the administrative details- never should they make law.

But they do Peter and they have been doing so for six or seven decades.

And that is why I posted this thread. Looks like SCOTUS will stomp them back into their place.
