    > Congress could pass legislation to reduce or eliminate the problem, and if that were to fall short, it could try again later

    Yeah, we've been waiting for them to do that for at least 100 years... that's exactly the problem.

    This is just the inevitable result of congress delegating authority.

    >Sometimes a constitutional crisis sneaks up on you, shrouded in darkness, revealing itself gradually.

    People who gave a crap have been screeching about this for over a century since Teddy and Wilson. Someone needs to tell these clowns that it actually makes you look worse when you only start caring when it benefits your agenda.

    I'd give them a break if it was just an undertone rather than the first sentence of the article but come on.
