In a way we can think of administrative law as a form of off-road driving. The Constitution offers two avenues of binding power - acts of Congress and acts of the courts. Administrative acts by executive agencies are a way of driving off-road, exercising powers through other pathways. For those in the driver's seat, this can be quite exhilarating. For the rest of us, it's a little unnerving.
