  • They’re not “passing laws.” They define the minute technical details that Congress can’t cover completely or doesn’t understand. Here’s an example:

    Elected Congress: Don’t sell moldy sausage.

    Unelected FDA: Ok, here’s how long you can safely store sausage below this temperature. If that date is passed or the sausage has been exposed to higher temperature for this amount of time, it must be discarded to greatly reduce the possibility of selling moldy sausage.

    Unelected Judge: Mom said if it’s not green it’s not moldy. Just don’t sell green sausage boys.

    Unelected SCOTUS: Yup, that’s how it’s done.
