Is The ‘Deep State’ Attempting To Become The Secret Fourth Branch Of The Government

(Tea Party 247) – One of the most basic facts we all learn in elementary school — way back before liberals destroyed the education system — is that our government is split into three branches, a separation of powers that is meant to keep any one branch from usurping complete control of the country and shredding our individual rights and liberties.

We have the legislative, the executive, and the judicial branches of government. Granted, this might be a brand new fact for you if you’re someone like Rep. Alexandria Ocaiso-Cortez who is a pure product of not only a government run public school, but also the recipient of a liberal college education. However, the vast majority of us knew this kind of thing early on.

Not sure how "secret" it really is.  The power of the regulatory agencies to make and enforce regulations with the power of law has been blasted for a long time.  Scalia called out such bodies for being a "junior varsity Congress" way back in 1989.

I've always thought that regulations should not have the force of law unless and until they are expressly approved by Congress.  The regulatory agencies can write whatever they wish, then just send it up to Congress for a vote at the end of the year.
