The power of the administrative state to destroy liberty and property - to blast through legislation, science, and judicial oversight - was never more on display than in the last two and a half years These issues are newly alive, and have come up with a Supreme Court decision in West Virginia vs. Environmental Protection Agency.
The EPA had long imposed an expansive view of its discretion under the
Clean Air Act. The court said no: the EPA has been acting illegally all
along. This decision echoes a similar federal court decision in Florida concerning the CDC’s mask mandate. The court said the CDC is acting illegally.
- Dealing with this problem absolutely requires that we get back to fundamentals on what kind of society we want and what is the role of government.
- Administrative state as the effective governing apparatus of the US - it's not Congress and not the President. It's the vast and permanent bureaucracy of 432 agencies and 2.9m bureaucrats who are unreachable by any standard of personnel management.
