“a novel reading of an obscure provision of the Constitution”
Really??
The idea that a Federal agency would not be accountable to the people through their funding source is abhorrent to the principle of self-government.
Elizabeth Warren SPECIFICALLY said that she wanted the agency to be insulated from the influence of the people through the Congress.
But let’s hear more about “DEMOCRACY”
The constitution is hardly obscure in any content.
I think we need to start naming all the federal agencies that fit this very statement and demanding their elimination.
Let me start with the Department of Education, the IRS and EPA.
Is there anything more obscure and unusual than “penumbras” and “emanations?”
