Some of your statements contain kernels of truth. But remember Chesterton's Fence. With the CRA, would we really want ~the MTGs~ non-expert politicians who are beholden to their constituents and/or donors/lobbyists/interest groups reviewing implementations that are tech-heavy?

Your position seems to have a strong nondelegation-doctrine bent, but another way of looking at it is that your position would have Congress reassign the Judiciary's review power to the Legislature itself.



I want a healthy democracy. That means that people should feel like the government is doing what they want.

Look at the current transition. A recent poll showed it has a 59% approval rating—for a candidate that’s not that popular. But he got on stage and campaigned with a bunch of people who had specific policy visions, and then appointed those same people to run the government. What you see is what you get.

I don’t really care whether what judges and lawyers and paid experts have to say about those policies. If the people don’t like them, they’ll vote for a different slate the next time around.
