For over 30 years as a private attorney and now as your representative, I have defended Wyoming against the administrative state. For too long, Washington, D.C. has delegated authority to unelected bureaucrats in a manner that jeopardizes our Constitution.
Administrative agencies have the power to write, enforce, and judicially review law, even though they are unelected and therefore unaccountable to the People. How this translates in Wyoming is the EPA’s ability to bring tens of thousands of dollars of fines per day against a rancher who simply cleared out an irrigation ditch on his property, or small businesses losing resources to complex regulatory compliance.
As a member of the Judiciary Committee, I have primary jurisdiction over administrative law where I am working to restore power in Congress, ensure due process, and otherwise stop the onslaught of trillions in hidden taxes that stem from annual regulatory compliance.
More on The Administrative State
Congresswoman Harriet Hageman (R-WY) is reacting to the recent ruling that President Biden’s son, Hunter, reached a plea deal that has caused a political firestorm over independence of the judicial system.
Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman blasted the two-tiered criminal justice system, which has been further exposed by whistleblower testimony and evidence that clearly revealed the Biden family business of selling access to their patriarch, Joe Biden. The newly disclosed information comes on the heels of Hunter Biden’s sweetheart plea agreement with federal prosecutors, which will keep him out of jail despite being charged with a gun crime and tax evasion.
U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman told Cowboy State Daily on Wednesday that she supports an effort from one of her colleagues in the House to have President Joe Biden impeached.
Hageman said if she has an opportunity to vote on Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert’s latest push to impeach Biden, she’s a “yes” vote.
Hageman’s stance on impeaching Biden aligns with her position as a growing influence among hardline conservatives in the House and distances her from Speaker Kevin McCarthy and more centrist Republicans.
Forcing A Vote?
Special Counsel John Durham testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday for nearly six hours.
The title says it all. It's time to hold our government's Representatives responsible for their actions.
In a bipartisan effort, Congress is pushing back against the Biden administration’s war on gas stoves.
The House passed two bills limiting the federal government from meddling with American gas stoves. The Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act, which had bipartisan sponsorship, passed the House with more than 25 Democrats voting in favor of the bill.
The House also passed the Save Our Gas Stoves Act, with more than 30 Democrats voting for it.
Now the fate of gas stoves lies with the Democrat-controlled Senate.
John Durham dedicated his life to public service, spending decades in the Department of Justice. Yet page after page of the Durham report reveals the corruption and politicization of the institution to which he has given so much time. His report produces only one conclusion, and makes it impossible to obscure: there was no collusion between Trump and Russia, and all claims contrary were made to destroy his campaign and taint his presidency.
For too long, federal agencies have been allowed to run roughshod over the Constitution's prescribed separation of powers thanks to Congressional overdelegation and judicial deference. We took an oath to uphold the Constitution, and the Separation of Powers Restoration Act will help us fulfill that promise.
The REINS Act is sound, sensible legislation. Yet even a good bill like the REINS Act can be undermined as long as loopholes around it exist.
My amendment, which passed by voice, ends President Biden's executive order that grants exceptional leeway to his administration to determine what counts as a "major rule"; by preventing the Administrative State from shifting the standards for consideration, we will ensure greater transparency, less governmental abuse, and more Congressional approval of executive actions.
The House of Representatives voted on June 15 to approve a bill that could significantly shift federal regulatory authority away from the executive branch to Congress.
Lawmakers voted for the Separation of Powers Restoration Act, known as SOPRA, in a 220–211 vote. Most Republicans voted in favor of the measure, while most Democrats voted against it.
