During presidency at most, but all the history says presidents were supposed to be possible to prosecute for crimes after their term and SCOTUS ignored that despite the majority claiming to be originalists

Tapes themselves are cheaper, but the drive (and potentially operating cost?) can definitely be higher for the industrial stuff

And my TV is still a cheap full HD (2K) screen from 2011, so I've got no reason to buy media in higher quality

Can it only be used while drunk?

They certainly can report on that others found it suspicious

The constitution even says the president isn't immune and the federalist papers spells it out EXTREMELY clearly for any "originalist" to read.

Honestly the courts should call out SCOTUS on lying and making an invalid ruling that the constitution does not give them the authority to make, then just acting like it didn't happen.

That's why I said only notable changes should need preemptive review (if any), everything else that's standard procedure would just be documented and OK'd after

I agree it would have very bad consequences if the agency would get blocked entirely from acting

Like I said elsewhere, just make congress review use of delegated authority regularly and rubberstamp it if the agency is acting reasonably, otherwise they just give new directives wherever they deem fit.

They might even let agencies notify select members of congress when changing any notable rules so they can decide if they want to call a legislative session or just OK it.

That respects the division of powers in the constitution while still letting regulatory agencies do their jobs

They have immunity for the effect of their rulings (unless it's criminal corruption involved, but they get to decide for themselves that it's just "gratuities", unless congress impeach them)

That might set off an actual civil war...

If they believe congress shouldn't have the authority to delegate authority so broad then the way fix isn't to eliminate the delegation but to require that congress reviews the regulatory agencies to see if they're acting as according to their intent (yes there's risk of abuse for this too, like endless micromanaging, etc, this is just to defuse the constitutionality argument)

Just read a bunch of audit results and discuss relevant court cases involving the varies agencies in front of congress and let them rubberstamp it
