FWIW, there’s a Supreme Court doctrine limiting Congress’s ability to even delegate its enumerated duties - the “Nondelegation Doctrine.” It’s one of the theories used to advance last year’s Loper Bright, although SCOTUS doesn’t ultimately address nondelegation in that opinion.
That being said the entire basis of non delegation doctrine is that Congress's desire to relinquish their power is irrelevant to whether they can do so (assuming SCOTUS would attempt to be consistent).
Yup, this is where I think writing GOP reps and Senators is probably the most impactful thing. Convince them that they need to take what is theirs and have a say and not let Elon run his own agenda contrary to Trump's campaign. It's a long shot but it's the best I've got right now.
I think it's very important for Democrats to hold the line on budget/debt ceiling negotiations because the only hope of reversing it is keeping it as a "live" political controversy. Once you accept it, even tacitly, it's here forever.
I mostly agree with Lincoln's perspective on court power (that Congress not the Courts should be the final arbiter of constitutional questions), but idk what to do about a situation where Congress refuses to enforce their constitutional powers
