The crafting of regulations (not laws) and their implementation is the domain of the agencies under the executive branch. This is where the scientists and researchers are hired - neither the legislative nor judicial branches routinely employ them.
The funding of these agencies has been consistently cut back over the past decades resulting in a slower moving body and one that is not as able to employ experts in the various domains who understand that technology and issues as part of a career.
Additionally, the recent Supreme Court decision against the EPA further makes it difficult for the agencies to make and enforce those regulations. NPR Marketplace : Today’s Supreme Court decision is about more than the EPA- https://www.marketplace.org/shows/marketplace/todays-supreme-court-decision-is-about-more-than-the-epa/ https://www.marketplace.org/shows/marketplace/todays-supreme... gets into the SCOTUS ruling and how it attacking what is called the administrative state. https://www.npr.org/2022/01/30/1076844670/supreme-court-justice-stephen-breyers-legacy-in-administrative-law https://www.npr.org/2022/01/30/1076844670/supreme-court-just... also goes into the rolling back of the administrative ability of the executive branch.
- salawat 4y agoAdministrative law is a farce and clear violation of the intent expressed in the Constitution. When more laws are entering the books through the executive and judiciary than through the legislature, you've got a problem. Congress sets executive agency scope. Not executive branch employees or judges out of force of habit. If they want increased scope, best ask the People if that's alright, and get the People leaning on their legislators. Bottom up. Not top down.
