Who decides how much you pay in fees—the people’s representatives in Congress or unelected bureaucrats at federal agencies? In this episode of Courtside Commentary, NCLA President Mark Chenoweth and General Counsel Zhonette Brown break down the Supreme Court’s recent decision in FCC v. Consumers’ Research and the D.C. Circuit’s Choice Refrigerants case. Both raise critical questions about the nondelegation doctrine and whether Congress can hand off its legislative power—especially the power to tax—to agencies or private actors.
Learn why NCLA filed briefs in these cases, how the Court ruled, what the dissents said, and what’s at stake for the future of constitutional government.
