Drain it. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

HOLY CARP!!!

1. In principle, I support Congressional review. We can always argue whether any give set of rules is good or bad and what the outcome of any Congressional review should be. But I think one can reasonably argue for Congressional review much like on can reasonably argue for Judicial review. 2. In practice, I see a couple of issues ... 2A: One issue is Congressional grand-standing. Much like Congress is known to pass laws mandating something and then not fund it (rendering the mandate moot), Congressional review will also allow Congress to pass laws and then when it actually comes time for the Executive branch to write rules to "operationalize" the laws, Congress block implementation in the review process. This becomes another tool for Congress to pander and talk out of both sides of their mouth. 2B: Specific to the opening words of the CRA that reads: “Before a rule can take effect” the federal agency in question must submit a Congressional report ... as agencies write rules to "operationalize" a President's executive orders, presumably those opening words on the CRA would subject those rules to Congressional review too before they can take effect. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, but I doubt any of the rules/guidelines that follow from Trump's executive order has adhere to those CRA opening words. You want to roll them all back, too? |

I can see both sides to this. I have real concerns about the growth of the administrative state and its lack of accountability. Having said that, I've had front row seats to regulatory battles when congress was involved (specifically, between the SEC and the Senate Finance committee, in the 1999-2001 era). Suffice it to say that the swamp critters are usually well represented by congress. |
