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.
