| Subject: Conservative Justices Aren’t About to Abolish the Government Thu Dec 12, 2019 2:21 am | |
| Reviving the “nondelegation doctrine” isn’t going to happen.
Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan warned Americans in June that four of her colleagues were on the verge of declaring that “most of government is unconstitutional.” In November, a fifth justice, Brett Kavanaugh, indicated that he agreed with those four that the “nondelegation doctrine” should be revived. The Supreme Court, that is, should deny Congress the power to grant its legislative authority to government agencies.
Conservatives and libertarians are giddy at the thought of finally reining in the “administrative state.” Vox spoke for many liberals in ringing the alarm: “Brett Kavanaugh’s opinion should terrify Democrats,” wrote Ian Millhiser. “It’s impossible to exaggerate the importance of this issue. Countless federal laws, from the Clean Air Act to the Affordable Care Act, lay out a broad federal policy and delegate to an agency the power to implement the details of that policy.”
