[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guys, it’s totally cool. All this will result in is that Congress will actually have to be subject matter experts and account for any variances or unknowns when they craft laws, since they can’t defer to subject matter experts at agencies any more. I’m sure they’ll ensure the appropriate levels of particulate matter are filtered out in our tap water or whatever. It’s not like lobbyists will be involved.[/quote]

That sounds much better than being ruled by unelected “subject matter experts”. How long before you start pushing for philosopher kings?  How long have you hated democracy?  How long have you held such contempt for the people of the United States of America?  [/quote]

Uh, do you know the professions and expertise of our elected officials?

Do you want Jim Jordan writing water policy?
Or Matt Gaetz crafting regulation for particulates in fertilizer?
Or Marge Greene opining on the gauge width electric charging tubes?[/quote]

I would rather have idiots who are accountable to the voters writing laws than unelected subject matter experts who are also given deference by the court system. The latter simply turns into an unaccountable super state.  [/quote]

The executive branch already is accountable.  All regulations and rulemakings fall within scope of existing law passed by elected members of Congress, and Congress has oversight, along with several other parts of government which have oversight, such as OIRA for regulatory review, Inspectors General et cetera.

The problem with leaving it up to judges is that the last 4 years have shown that judges can no longer be trusted.  And there is currently ZERO accountability in the courts - as demonstrated by the Clarence Thomas debacle.

Your focus is in exactly the wrong place.[/quote]
