Technically their interpretation is correct, laws should be explicitly enumerated by the legislative branch which has the most accountability to voters. We’re all just so desensitized to the fact that Congress is a wasteland of gridlock and special interest money that we don’t even expect them to do the job of creating laws anymore. If we had a working legislative branch this would be a gentle reminder for them to be thorough and use detailed language when crafting legislation, instead it’s a depressing reminder that our government quite literally cannot function without outsourcing the central function of one of the main branches.
This is just not true and courts have ruled the opposite of what you’re spewing for ages.
EDIT: To elaborate, you’re basically saying Congress needs to micromanage everything. It’s absurd. This was settled a loooong time ago. This is a naked power grab by an illegitimate, corrupt institution, nothing more.
Yes I’m saying that the branch of government whose job it is to craft laws should be the one crafting laws. It’s amazing you can disagree with such a basic statement in such a condescending way and not even question whether or not you’re a acting like an asshole. Take your shitty attitude somewhere else.
I’d rather they let the experts quickly determine how much lead is unsafe in drinking water than to have to constantly go to court to prove to a judge not just that lead is unsafe in drinking water, but to convince the judge that poisoning people is bad and should be stopped.
Honestly this kind of makes me think more seriously of finding a way to leave this country. The consequences of this shit can’t be overstated really. It effectively ends all regulatory bodies’ ability to regulate.
You’re assuming experts are always in charge of government agencies and I don’t think that’s true. Government always runs at least partially on the honor system, hoping that voters will punish those who abuse the public trust. We don’t do that anymore. They abuse our trust and we reelect them anyway.
