 However, rulings in Jarquezzi, Corner Post, and Cargill all had the same thrust. Executive branch agencies can't make up their authority as they go along. Only Congress has the power to legislate, and only the judiciary has the authority to try common law cases and determine legal interpretations where Congress leaves gaps. Those who prefer technocracy to ordered self-governance have erupted in furious indignation. However, those who prefer the rule of law have good cause to celebrate this Supreme Court term and hope that future courts will remain firm.
