Ruling Class: Inside the Imperial Congress [Hardcover]by Eric Felten
” Congress was limited to being the only ones the are to make laws. They abdicated their constitutional duty by pawning off their duties to agencies - OSHA, IRS, EPA, etc. “
Since Porkulus, when Congresspersons openly acknowledged - without even having the grace to blush - that they neither write, *nor read* the legislation they pass, Congress is reaching its desired state - a ceremonial, but irrelevant, vestigal organ - all perks and pomp, and no real duties or responsibilities....
Bump.
Good rant!
??????
I do like that. Bury the wording deep in the bills and see if he can find it.
Good analysis.
Congress has a choice:
Rein in these fascist, gestapo agencies or we’ll have to do it.
Their ain't no such thing as "homophones"! :)
“Allow citizens to file suit against any govt agency whose regulation is pernicious and a threat to a person or business.”
We already have that, lurk. It’s called the Data Quality Act, passed under the Bush II administration.
The EPA, for example, is being buried under DQA challenges by individuals, organizations and businesses. Under DQA, anyone - you, me, your neighbor - can challenge any rule passed by an agency that doesn’t use the “best science” in writing a rule.
!!!!!!
Yea we could sell a bunch of the federal governments stuff...they act like its our fault we are in such debt and need to pay more for their damn stupid ideas..they have no money but ours, sell their stuff..all of it..and remove the power from them...
Overturn Wickard v Filburn!
Had no idea what Wickard v Filburn was all about but the ruling on it is so convoluted that practically ANYTHING is subject to regulations under that interpretation.
Chances are that the SC will not overturn Wickard v Filburn. The power to regulate via interstate commerce will have to be limited by constitutional amendment.
That's how we got where we're at.
Chances are that the SC will not overturn Wickard v Filburn. The power to regulate via interstate commerce will have to be limited by constitutional amendment.
Under an original intent interpretation of the Constitution, it should never have been allowed in the first place. The federal government took for itself a power the States never confered. Why should they need an amendment to take it back?
