I’d been waiting to see some commentary on this recent SCOTUS decision from some of my usual go-to legal analysts, but the decision seems to have gotten lost in the other news. Nevertheless, this appears to be an important, if incremental, decision going forward. The WSJ did pick up on it in an editorial and this is what I can copy without a subscription.
What needs to happen is for governors to ignore any and every rule, policy or law that emanates from the Feds but is not supported by the enumerated powers. 10A exists for that reason. But it relies of governors to enforce it.
Too many governors, however, fail to understand that the States were designed to be superior to the feds, that the Supremacy Clause applies ONLY to the enumerated powers. They do this cuz they all think they’re in AAA ball waiting for the call-up to the Show.
They need to grow a pair and tell the Feds to shut up whenever the Feds color outside their limited lines...
The real fast track means of eliminating administrative behemoths that destroy all that they touch, sometimes slowly, sometimes rapidly . . . that would require legislative acts. Instead of eliminating agencies, departments, commissions, bureaus; the feckless legislative branch piles on ever more powers making matters worse. So, the court cases slowly and methodically grind along and the people are irretrievably ground into the dust as time passes on.
“Friday’s ruling is part of the current Court’s project to reassert the proper understanding of the separation of powers. The Court has tried to rein in administrative agencies that have taken on the power to rewrite laws without Congressional authority, enforce those laws as they see fit, and then review them as if they were an Article III court. That’s why Friday’s ruling is so important to individual liberty.”

Q: How did the administrative state originate?
A: By legislative acts, statutory laws.
