These seem like awkward things to encode into law in a durable way. Laws are long-term blunt instruments, banning something like infinite scroll will have all kinds of unintended consequences.
- alistairSH 5y agoThat's true - these things might be better implemented as regulations out of the Executive branch - but that would still require legislation authorizing somebody to implement the regulations.
- kyleee 5y agoInteresting that the US governance model is devolving to "decrees from the king" thanks to exec orders
- swiley 5y agoWe'll see how much longer the states accept that for.
- idiotsecant 5y agoState governments are much more interested in participating in the cable news culture wars to pump up next election numbers then they are in actually governing. I doubt it.
- telotortium 5y agoAnd the decrees are obeyed by the bureaucracy only when the bureaucracy likes the king.
- alistairSH 5y agoNot really. Regulations promulgated by the executive branch and EOs both need to have a basis in law and are subject to judicial review.
