Challenge to the use of Administrative Law Judges is at the Supreme Court

What bugs me is not only having an agency derive complex regulations from laws, but having it set enforcement penalties. Financial penalties should ONLY be set by elected representatives and that should not be a power that can be delegated to non-elected bureaucrats. Any gov't body that can enforce fines (in some cases quite draconian) should answer to the voters.

Easy Peasy. The voters vote out the Legislators that enact Laws that grant gov't agencies the authority to enforce fines. I think Benjamin may have had a Crystal Ball when he told Elizabeth "A Republic, if you can keep it."
