How in the world did we get to the point an ‘agency’ can write rules with the force of law? What law established the EPA in the first place? I know that constitutional amendments have language that says things like “The Congress shall have the power to enforce this...” etc but an ‘agency’ making laws is beyond me. That is a legislative function only. And just today we find that rules are being written into the just passed Obamacare to include the “end of life” counseling that was specifically left out of the original bill. This has to STOP!!
Congress gave them the “authority” in the legislation to create the “rules.”
EPA should be totally defunded and closed down. Their power comes from “Regulations”, not the law. This is what Washington is doing more and more. The White House is putting out new “Regulations” all the time. This is how they feel they can get around the laws.
You want to know how the EPA was established?
These fed agencies are Treaty based. That is how they have gained jurisdiction and the power to regulate sans Congress.
