- sksrbWgbfK 1y agoIronically it is still on the front page with a lot of people defending big businesses (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44529061 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44529061).

It's a good thing for regulations to go through that process in order to politically help balance the power of the unitary executive. This rule can and likely will pass again with proper procedure. If you think that this administration has seized powers it should not have, you should appreciate that this ruling upholds at least a minor constraint on it.
