Lawsuit argues Congress unconstitutionally delegated legislative authority to the EPA

[dunno]

If this is true of the EPA, how is not true of any other alphabet agency (ATF)? Just replace EPA regs with ATF regs and its the same damn thing!
What other agencies have been gifted this unconstitutional legislative authority? EPA-ATF-???

Lawsuit argues Congress unconstitutionally delegated legislative authority to the EPA

You may not like the news source I pulled this from but it is at least worth watching what happens with this.

It's not much different than our state legislature usurping our constitutional rights and changing our election process without a vote by The People

Say what? I'd expect that some of those clumsy bastads would fall overboard and swim with the fishes.

"As the secretary directs" are written into laws to allow the agencies to do this kind of things.

Case brought to Supreme Court by herring fishermen may gut federal rulemaking power
JANUARY 17, 20245:00 AM ET

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear a case Wednesday that could eviscerate the way the federal government regulates, well, everything. A system in place for decades has governed how judges review curbs on air and water pollution, gun safety measures and workplace protections.

But all of it could be upended by a conservative supermajority on the court at the request of an unlikely set of plaintiffs: a group of herring fishermen based in Cape May, N.J.

One of them is Bill Bright, a first-generation fisherman whose family has followed him to the sea.

"My boys are working on the boats," Bright said. "And my daughters, we have a shoreside business and they run that. So we're all, the whole family is, in the seafood business 100%."

Bright said he welcomes regulations to keep the herring population strong in the Northeastern United States. But he said the fisheries service went too far when the government mandated that vessel owners like him had to pay for observers on the boats to make sure they're following the rules.

"We have this hanging over our head and we're not under any illusion," Bright said. "Once they start charging us for the monitor, that's never going away."

A case with broad implications
The case has implications far beyond the fishing industry and has attracted support from conservative legal foundations, the Gun Owners of America, and a trade group for electronic cigarette-makers, among others.
