"If [Congress doesn't] pass this legislation," the EPA is going to have to "regulate in a command-and-control way

Exactly. That is the language. They are emboldened to use it, just as was Andy Stern of SEIU (Obama's most frequent Whitehouse visitor) exhorting "workers of the world unite".

From an earlier vanity of mine:

An interesting and prescient quotation in this regard comes from John Locke’s Second Treatise of Government §141, 1689:

” The power of the Legislative being derived from the People by a positive voluntary Grant and Institution, can be no other, than what that positive Grant conveyed, which being only to make Laws, and not to make Legislators, the Legislative can have no power to transfer their Authority of making Laws, and place it in other hands.”

Cheers!
