The unelected bureaucrats are authorized by duly elected politicians. They do not coalesce in office from the ether, they're put there by elected officials. It's not like there's no oversight.
- LatteLazy 3y agoUm, the judge just ruled that they are NOT authorised by duly elected officials in this case. That's sort of the point of the case...
- burnte 3y agoI wasn't responding to this specific case, I was talking about the common "unelected bureaucrat" trope that falsely represents that gov't agencies are somehow "bad" because they're not directly run by politicians.

But if the SEC can't even win on this one, which they clearly picked first because it would have been the easiest given it's extremely centralized nature, Gensler's game is over.
- burnte 3y agoI wasn't responding to the case in general, only the "unelected bureaucrat" line.
