have you met any congress personnel? fence posts would be insulted to be compared to some of them.
there's definitely a gap between regulatory officials making regulations and legislature codifying the details. This is where appointing heads of those departments is supposed to come to bear.
It's a mess, but the answer isn't to let lobbyists and special interests burn the house down.
- cryptonector 4y agoIt's not like the regulators are incorruptible. The regulators get captured all the time. I don't know what the right answer is here.
- burkaman 4y agoThe right answer here is that Congress explicitly delegated a decision to the EPA administrator, so they should be allowed to make that decision. The court's decision is well-argued, but it seems to come down to "I know Congress said you could do this, but it's a really big deal and they might not have thought it through enough, so you have to go ask for permission again before you do it". It's kind of patronizing to both the EPA and Congress, and I don't think it's a good decision or precedent.
