The Separation of Powers and Political Polarization [2021 National Lawyers Convention]
The 2021 National Lawyers Convention took place November 11-13, 2021 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC. The topic of the conference was "Public and Private Power: Preserving Freedom or Preventing Harm?". The panel discussed "The Separation of Powers and Political Polarization."
Political polarization is a great problem of our time. Executive branch administrative decisions tend to be more extreme than legislative solutions, particularly when, as is usually the case, the houses of Congress and the president are divided among the parties. Thus, Congress’s delegation of policy decisions to the executive branch results in extreme regulations that can shift radically between administrations, creating government by whiplash. The panel explored whether institutional restorations, like the curbing of delegation and Chevron, might help in restoring a constitution of compromise.
