It’s past time for states to ignore outrageous USSC rulings. States should turn to the U.S. Congress for relief from burdensome regulations, not the USSC.

And therein lies the rub - and a central tenant missed by the majority of the passionate but woefully ignorant posters on this forum - that it is the Congress whose duty is to reign in these rogue agencies ostensibly operating under the Executive's authority. The USSC simply rules on the constitutionality of legislation from the Congress, or the "merits" of the argument concerning any particular law in question.

If the electorate doesn't like the position of the court on any given law, then they should be petitioning the Congress to change the law. Since Congress has been so unresponsive to the wishes of the American electorate for more than a generation now, it simply underscores how critical this current election cycle is whereby we must begin wrestling control away from the ruling political class and placing it back into the hands of the people.
