This is how Congress makes legislation nowadays - extremely long winded pieces of prose, which once voted on and signed into law, is handed to bureaucrats to make the rules by which we all must then live.
Dodd-Frank and Obamacare are both over 2000 pages without the meat and potatoes of specifics. This method of legislating effectively puts the agencies which oversee the activity of financing, healthcare, environment, and more, in charge of legislating. These agencies can write their own rules according to how they interpret the vagueness of the bill they are handed. Congress has abdicated its consitutional authority to policy wonks.
Is that how the government should operate? I think not. Ms. Malkin describes one such example of how this process fails the citizens.
