      What would you have YOUR elected representatives do?
      
      Another consideration: 
      It seems regulatory entities have more power than those we elect.
      
      For instance:
      Who elected Fauci?
      How do we regulate the EPA, the FDA, the CDC and all the governmental bureaucracies that dictate, mandate and tyrannize in all the ways they are ALLOWED to do ... ????

      Have you been paying attention to the recent SCOTUS decisions? 
      
      1. West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), LImited the EPA's authority under a provision of the Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gas
      
      2. National Federation of Business v. Department of Labor —  Took away the Biden administration's vaccine-or-testing mandate for large employers.
      
      3. Kennedy vs Bremerton SD - Prayer at the HS Football facility
      
      I don't agree with these decisions, but these are victories for people who have an unhealthy paranoia about the "Administrative State.". The Republican members of the House and Senate don't have to do anything. SCOTUS is doing for them.
      
      Because of this paranoia, Fauci and his wife need a 3-person protection detail to take a walk in the park. Will his critics back off now?

   HEY LOOK!
   "The Supreme Court ruled in a 6 to 3 decision to restrain the federal government's ability to regulate emissions at power plants.
   
   The case declares it unlawful for federal agencies to make 'major' decisions  without clear authorization from Congress. It appears to allow for regulations focused narrowly on capping pollution from smokestacks, but blocks wider rules that set state-by-state targets for emissions reduction or a cap-and-trade system that would trigger a faster shift to clean energy.
   
   It prevents the Biden administration from instituting the sort of sweeping emissions rules the EPA tried to implement under the Obama administration. The Supreme Court put Obama's Clean Power Plan on hold in 2016, and it never took effect.
   
   The court sided with coal power plants and GOP-led states in West Virginia v. EPA, reviewing an appeals court decision to axe the Affordable Clean Energy Rule, a Trump-era regulation that effectively gutted the Clean Power Plan.
   
   Though the Clean Power Plan never took effect, the utility sector met its goals - a 32 percent reduction of carbon pollution from 2005 levels by 2030. The Biden administration had planned to write a fresh regulation and asked the Supreme Court to hold off on stepping in."

   Could this decision rein in other agencies ...
   such as the CDC?!
