“For decades, Congress delegated the power to legislate to Executive Branch agencies. Congress also usurped the judicial power and conferred it on the same Executive Branch agencies, making them not only the police who arrest people, but also the judges who sentence them. Administrative agencies do this through Administrative Courts. The old-fashioned courts are called Article 1 courts because they are the courts created by the Constitution. Administrative Courts are nowhere permitted in the Constitution, yet they exist. Presidents rarely veto legislation that delegates legislative and judicial power to the Executive Branch. They love having that power. The Supreme Court has rubber-stamped these unconstitutional delegations of power under the idea that ‘democracy’ requires them to let elected representatives do what they want.” (03/25/25)
