Should government agencies have no power at all? That would make them as useless as the right thinks they are anyway. I don’t remember voting for an FCC commissioner last time I voted - is the FCC putting the “strong-arm on the legislature” by enforcing standards?

And such agencies are accountable to the voters - the legislators that put them in place must go back to the people and ask to be rehired.

I find it a bit disturbing that folks would just roll with this abeyance to a bureaucracy. The EPA is in charge of taking care of itself, primarily. Noble ends, ignoble means from my perspective. But of course I could be wrong.
