Any thoughts about why I should, on the advent of a second Trump administration, be dismayed about a lack of deference to executive agencies?
Also consider the more-independent agencies, whose boards don't necessarily change composition when the executive administration does.
I mean this entirely in a non-political way, too: I'm playing devil's advocate.
Apropos of the first point, though, do you trust MTG (for example) to engage in wise gap-filling or overriding of the judiciary when it comes to, say, net neutrality or Schedule I drugs?
That's not a snarky question: it's a rhetorical one, only to respond to your point.
I see both sides of the issue. Truth be told, the Constitution does not provide for a fourth branch of government. But agencies are so ingrained in our fabric that they're not going anywhere anytime soon.
