Administrative law circumvents the constitution

Editor: 

 As the population of the USA increased, the legislative task grew burdensome.  

 Congress, helped by SCOTUS, reasoned complicated laws required more expertise to write the finite details. 

 Never mind that the pool of experts is one and the same for the executive and legislative branch.

 It is a body of rules, regulations and orders written by agencies within the executive branch then coded into statutes by Congress.  

 If it were this simple SCOTUS would have to rule the statutes unconstitutional, so congress had to supervise the writing to pacify SCOTUS. 

 Of course that hocus-pocus doesn’t make it constitutional. It simply sidelines SCOTUS. There doesn’t seem to be a single law or statute that paints the entire picture; it is scattered among various congressional acts throughout our history.  

 This predicament has crept upon us bit by bit, like old age. After Administrative Procedure Act passage, circa 1946, SCOTUS threw in the towel and our presidential seat at the governing table gained potentially dictatorial power. 

 Think about it. Somewhere along the line Congress ordained and established administrative law courts, notably the secret FISA court with no juries, and judges appointed by the chief justice of SCOTUS. 

 These are essentially “kangaroo” courts. Amendments VI and VII guarantee every accused U.S. citizen a constitutional trial by jury.

 Worse yet, every state in our union has aped the feds with administrative law. 

 Question: Who holds the supreme power of our land? COTUS, POTUS, SCOTUS or We The People?
