Phillip Hamburger provides a clear and concise look at the problem of the Congress’ practice of creating sweeping legislation without filling in all the blanks. That job has, since the Presidency of Woodrow Wilson, been delegated to a so-called “Professional Class” of government workers known popularly as the Bureaucrats. They are a large part of the sludge at the bottom of the D.C. Swamp. He also offers some solutions but the odds of Congress fixing this problem are terrible. Perhaps this is what a Convention of States under Article V of our constitution was custom-made to fix? It’s worth looking at it.
