The increased power of administrative agencies over the past decades is diminishing, with power shifting towards courts and Congress. Courts can now independently review and strike down rules without deferring to agencies, leading to a more significant role in regulatory matters. This shift forces Congress to be more proactive in passing legislation rather than relying on agencies. While some view this as a positive check on governmental misuse, others criticize it due to existing gridlocks. A bipartisan approach in rule-making may reduce the risk of rules being struck down. Despite the changes, agencies still hold regulatory authority, albeit in a more constrained manner. Congress is not likely to transform into a swift legislature but may accelerate its processes over time in response to pressing issues. Change is inevitable, as seen in the shifting focus of policymakers to address topical matters like crypto, showing that despite potential gridlocks, response to current events prompts legislative action.
