Summary: PLF's D.C. Center Attorney Jonathan Wood hosts a special podcast discussion from Washington D.C. on how Pacific Legal Foundation is stepping up to defend the Congressional Review Act. Joining Wood for the discussion and analysis are PLF D.C. Center Executive Director and Senior Fellow in Constitutional Law Todd Gaziano and PLF Attorney Oliver Dunford. PLF has moved to intervene against a federal lawsuit by the Center for Biological Diversity — which claims, astonishingly, that Congress and the president violate the Constitution when they pass a law that rescinds a bureaucracy’s regulation. As PLF argues, CBD’s lawsuit seeks to turn the Constitution on its head, placing unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats above Congress. Under our Constitution, administrative agencies only have power that Congress chooses to delegate to them. Congress is free to limit its delegation of power as it sees fit.
