Major SCOTUS Case Could Force Congress to Do Its Job, and Restore Power to the People

by Selwyn Duke, The New American:

Are we truly a nation of, by, and for the people, as Lincoln put it, if our elected representatives aren’t the ones actually making the decisions affecting our lives? For a long time they haven’t been making many of those decisions, too, having essentially “outsourced” them to judges and bureaucrats. But two cases currently before the Supreme Court could help remedy this problem and force Congress to do its job — and could restore power to the people.

The two cases are Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Relentless, Inc. v. U.S. Department of Commerce. And what instigated them well illustrates the perils of letting unelected officials, whose unelected status places them beyond the people’s corrective reach, issue life-altering regulations.
