The Supreme Court’s decision Thursday
curbing the powers of unelected federal bureaucrats to regulate all of us is the second-most-important case it decided this term, after the
reversal of Roe v. Wade.
The Constitution set up a system of separated powers that envisioned Congress would pass the laws, the president would administer them and the courts would interpret them. Since the New Deal, Congress has shirked its accountability by increasingly
giving unelected agencies the power to make decisions of vast economic and political significance.
