SCOTUS striking a blow for Representative Governance...against unelected bureaucratic authoritarianism

[RickWA]

Well done, SCOTUS. As CATO puts it, "The Obama-era EPA rules were “illustrative of an alarming trend whereby presidents turn to implied authority, typically in long-extant statutes, to achieve what Congress fails to do,” the libertarian Cato Institute said in a legal brief".

For far too long, we have been ruled and regulated by unelected bureaucrat hacks rather than elected bodies. The proliferation of mandates, statutes, regulations, and red tape arbitrarily imposed by UNCHECKED agencies have been onerous... unchecked and unrestrained by electoral redress. Ours is not appropriately a nation governed by untouchable high councils and panel experts. You want to impose laws and regulatory requirements, leverage the representatives of the people.

It's about bloody time!

If we are going to remain as a Constitutional Republic, the power must return to the people.

This SCOTUS ruling does just that.

Keep in mind that there are forces with power that do not want us to have a Constitutional Republic anymore. They have shredded the Constitution in their own minds and seek to do it in reality.

YOU CAN THANK NIXON!!!

This Supreme Court is pretty great so far. Basing rulings on the Constitution, instead of legislating from the bench is a welcome change.

Then ELECT better REPRESENTATIVES who are ACCOUNTABLE to the PEOPLE...rather than relying upon the undemocratic practice of bureaucrat panel "experts". Bad policy shouldn't lead one to non-representative authoritarianism.

Correct. The SAME people who wail and moan about "threats to our democracy" lament this decision empowering actual ELECTED LEGISLATURES. It's just one more data point that these people do not care about the issues and matters they claim to care about. Across every issue, they want consolidated central authority/authoritarianism.

That is what they are seeking with every move they make: a consolidated central authority. Authoritarianism.

They have succeeded on many levels. We can only hope that these recent SCOTUS rulings will start the process of returning power to the States and thus, the people.

Geez, I wonder who we could thank for this court. If only we could send flowers or something. Right @RickWA ? ;0)

Yeah, because elected representatives can't be bought by corporate interests like the Koch brothers, who donated millions to campaigns and got a lot of help avoiding fines for polluting....

That describes this court less than any other in the last 150 years.

This is still no argument for authoritarianism and the extra-constitutional empowerment of unelected bureaucrats as proxy legislators. SCOTUS was spot on here.

Did I not already affirm that I like Trump's nominees? Get over him already. We can have principled conservative leadership without constant moral depravity.

Once again proving you can post what ever bullshit you like on the internet and never have to actually resort to facts.

Nobody is arguing FOR authoritarianism. Seems you'd prefer anarchy...no rules at all unless passed by congress....as if legislation about clean air and water never happened.
