Supreme Court Agrees to Hear Fresh Challenge to Agency Power
Briefly

"The Supreme Court's decision to consider the nondelegation doctrine could reinvigorate constitutional challenges to federal agency powers, reminiscent of the 1935 precedent against excessive discretion."
"Critics of the administrative state argue that recent rulings demonstrate a concerted effort to diminish the authority of federal agencies over areas such as environmental protection and consumer safety."
"The challenge brought forth by Consumers' Research is rooted in concerns that the F.C.C.’s delegation of authority to a private entity lacks adequate governmental oversight, effectively taxing American citizens without accountability."
"With the Fifth Circuit ruling invalidating the Universal Service Fund program, the court indicated that the dual-layer delegation undermines the constitutional framework, raising significant questions about agency powers."
