•
The Federal Newswire
Legal scholar Jonathan Adler—incoming Tazewell Taylor Professor at William & Mary Law School—explains why the REINS Act is long overdue.

He argues for a return to legislative accountability—making elected lawmakers vote on costly regulations rather than outsourcing governance to unelected bureaucrats. If you care about checks and balances, this is essential listening.
