TYRANNY: Legislating from the Bench is Bad - But THIS is Even Worse
Description
The Constitution draws a line between the powers of each branch of the federal government. Just like “legislating from the bench,” when Congress hands its lawmaking power to the executive, it’s not just bad policy – it’s unconstitutional. It breaks the separation of powers and leads down the road to total tyranny. In this episode, we dig into the forgotten cornerstone of the Constitution: the non-delegation doctrine.
