After that, it becomes much more difficult to tear it back out of the CoFR.<br /><br />There are watchdogs who attempt to police this stuff, but the true fact is that there's nothing whatsoever in the Constitution which allows Congress to delegate its power to create law AT ALL. But they've done it and the SCotUS hasn't said "boo".OBloodyHellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992539380115488567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492310882851199969.post-73998171815543128752011-01-27T16:18:51.150-05:002011-01-27T16:18:51.150-05:00> Most notable in his post was this warning fro...> <i>Most notable in his post was this warning from one of our founding fathers, James Madison</i><br /><br />Ah, GW, I'd point out that he's much more than "just" a Founding Father in this context, weighty though that moniker is...<br /><br /><b><i>He's the guy who </i>wrote <i>the thing.</i></b>OBloodyHellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992539380115488567noreply@blogger.com
