This has a simple solution.

Allow citizens to file suit against any govt agency whose regulation is pernicious and a threat to a person or business. Said agency has to pay the court fee for both sides; the agency has to demonstrate that its regulation is not pernicious or economically harmful; all damages come from the agency’s budget; that agency loses that amount from the next year’s budget. Loser pays.

The problem with that is the government is in charge of the courts who would rule that ANY rule is likely to be detrimental to some and they would throw your lawsuit out. Then you would owe millions to the government for their costs.

Your solution is much too complicated.

Stop delegation of powers by legislation by amending the constitution, by convention if need be.

“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.
