The Deep State Is Weakening

The SCOTUS has ruled the bureaucrats in the deep state a near fatal blow that has corrupted our Republic and left the citizenry without power for far too long. By ruling against the EPA’s power plan as being too broad and sweeping without Congressional legislation the SCOTUS has ended the Deep State regulators unelected power grab in which they set rules not authorized by Congress.

If federal laws and regulations are to be made to govern the states then those laws must be an act of Congress not an act by bureaucrats. Congress cannot pass statutes whereby unelected regulators make the specific rules/laws governing the law of the land. This sets an important precedent for all government agencies in Washington that have been abusing authority and requires our Congress to be responsible for legislating the details of the laws they enact, thus bringing the power of the vote back to the people if there is objection to the laws.

Congress must start doing their job of legislating and the people will now be able to use their right to vote out a Congress deaf to their wishes. Even though this case involved the EPA, all agencies will be made to abide by the courts ruling by use of lawsuits taken at the state level against onerous regulations in which bureaucrats rather than Congress created.

The court simple required the legislators in Congress not bureaucrats to write the details of laws, something that has been infuriating the public for decades as our Representatives have been shifting both blame and responsibility to unelected officials. Congress has been cowardice and lazy for far too long and the people’s check on the authority of federal regulations has been restored to hold their Senators and representatives accountable per the Constitution.

Moreover it wrestles from the Executive branch the power to use regulatory agencies as their attack dogs to get around not being able to pass their legislative agenda. This was what Obama did with his “phone and pen” declaration in his snub to Congress not passing immigration and unemployment insurance extensions, and the court has just declared that trick unconstitutional. So in large part both the Deep State and the executive branch’s laws by regulatory end around Congress will become winnable lawsuits with the precedent the court has set to stop the federal regulators from imposing unlawful regulations on state rights.

For far too long Americans have been frustrated by lobbyists and unelected bureaucrats writing sweeping regulations that have hurt small business, land owners and individuals without recourse to object to these regulatory nightmares. Now, they can at least fire (vote out) their House Representative and Senator for enacting legislation that cripples their business and sue the agencies that put undue limitations on their economic freedoms by Executive fiat not acted on by Congress.

 So Obama’s pen and phone takeover of Congressional responsibility just hit the trash barrel. No longer can your Senator and Representative blame an agency rather than their own support in Congress for a bill they wrote that has negative consequences for their constituency. The agency only has the right to bark, not bite the public now that the court has restored the legislative responsibility back into the hands of lawmakers.

This is a bigger win for citizens that perhaps some realize, because Congress has used government agencies to hide behind their job killing, wage killing, innovation killing, and entrepreneurial killing of our economy for decades by allowing unelected bureaucrats to write laws.

It is time to return to the Constitution and the ability of citizens to vote out of office those representatives that hurt rather than help the country prosper.

Legislators not bureaucrats (deep State) need to legislate. Amen.
