Time to force the lazy congress-critters to start writing laws again! Time prevent them outsourcing their jobs....
This is great news!
Exactly what I think. Congress doesn't make law anymore. Talk about ending democracy. That happened a while ago, at least in this respect.

Yep, they orchestrated the best scam in the history.
- Collect millions in lobbying fees
- Write bill that says: We hereby declare that the Secretary of Agency X will make all decisions
- When resulting law is a complete disaster, throw your hands up and say "those darn bureaucrats messed everything up!"
This should massively slow their ability to create new laws.
Whats really curious about this: What going to happen with all the existing "outsourced laws"....how will that be managed?

Federal judges also gave regulators too much leeway because of the Chevron decision in 1984, written by justice Stevens.
They now have a new framework to adjudicate disputes between EPA and private companies and citizens.
Is that a puddle in your front yard? That puddle is dirty , violation of clean water act. Penalty is 9000 dollars per day until you clean your front yard puddle.
These agencies engage in extortion. The process is the punishment and vice versa

I don't know. I would really love to hear your take once you collect information.

From a 10 min skim of the decision, it appears that all this revolves around APA (Administrative Procedure Act) - this was an act of Congress in 1946 that mandated that all statutory decisions of any agencies rule making must ultimately be adjudicated by the court.
So it appears that if an existing agency rule is in contention and was previously decided by via the agencies interpretation of law, then that rule is now "up for grabs" and could be sent to courts to solve.
