[T]he Constitution is what the judges say it is.
—- Charles Evans Hughes,
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court (1910-1916),
chief justice of the United states (1930-1941).
The supreme court, of the corporate United states, hands down Whitman v. American Trucking Associations, CONgress may delegate its legislative Powers to Federal regulatory agencies.
NOTE: This decision effectively nullifies the three Vesting Clauses of the Constitution for the united States:
- Article I, Section 1—“All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States … a Senate and House of Representatives.”
- Article II, Section 1 [Clause 1]—”The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.
- Article III, Section 1 [Clause 1]—”The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may … establish.”
Levy and Mellor write, “The Court essentially re-wrote Article I, section [sic] 1 to read: ‘All legislative Powers herein granted shall be shared between the Congress of the United States and several hundred unelected agencies.’”
