Conicts between those supporting and opposing congressional redelegation
to executive agencies go back to the earliest days of the Republic, but given the
enormous development of the administrative state, now raise issues of great practical
importance. The arguments back and forth implicate abstract notions of democracy,
eciency, and judicial power, though typically partisan and other self interested
considerations actually drive the debate. The future is likely to see some retrenchment,
but not wholesale rejection of redelegation, as the massive and unpredictable
consequences would deter courts from acting.
