that's literally all we're asking for!
the only political difference I have with many of you is where absence of Congress or inability of Congress to pass anything means that the agency should do something. I agree that a denial of service by the courts is bad and sad, but I don't agree that something should happen just because Congress won't pass a law.
I think partisan stuff is never going to pass so stop trying, and surface representatives that can bridge consensus so that Congress does grant authority to agencies for modern relevant things.
