You see the same issue with the ATF, who literally creates new "laws" out of whole cloth and changes them, literally, on whim.

Exactly. Despite the usual histrionics, what the Supreme Court ruled was that a government agency does not have the authority to make regulations with such a broad effect on the countries economy. The said this has to be done by the legislature, or at the very least, the legislature has to give that authority to the agency. Not sure how that is some horrible decision. It's basically the same as saying Buttigieg can't come out tomorrow and say you can't drive a vehicle on the highway that gets less that 75 mpg. That would basically shut the country down, and a federal agency does nor should it have that kind of power without the people being affected having a vote.
