Well there was once a Congress that passed the Missouri Compromise which institutionalized hyper-partisanship and another that was so ineffective its successor Congress literally fell apart when several States seceded from the Union and those States then went to War with the Union.

So, cut the hyperbole. Partisanship has always been a political reality. The EPA is capped to the powers that Congress gave it, and does not have the autonomy to expand that power at will because they’re subordinate to the President and the President cannot unilaterally and legally make laws on his own, nor can any of the agencies which answer to him.
