82 U. Pitt. L. Rev. 1 (2020-2021)

handle is hein.journals/upitt82 and id is 1 raw text is: ARTICLES THE DEATH OF ADMINISTRATIVE DEMOCRACY Joshua Ulan Galperin* INTRODUCTION Unelected bureaucrats are the very heart of administrative law's relentless conflict over democratic legitimacy. Critics and supporters of the administrative state are united in their certainty that the federal bureaucracy is unelected, and from that agreement, they proceed to debate the best alternative source of legitimacy beyond elections. * This Article is part of a series of articles exploring the attempt at electoral democracy evident in the USDA Farm Service Agency's elected county committees. The companion article is Joshua Ulan Galperin, The Life ofAdministrative Democracy, 108 GEO. L.J. 1213 (2020). Forboth articles I owe thanks to many. Alex Schluntz, Christine Kwon, Will Liang, and Heather Wong are former students at Yale University who brought the elected committees to my attention. Susan Schneider taught me a heck of a lot about agriculture law. Nate Rosenberg persuaded me that my initial positive reaction to the elected committees might be naive. The many who workshopped this Article with me: Phil Hackney, Blake Emerson; participants in the Academy of Food Law and Policy workshop at Harvard Law School, especially Melissa Mortazavi and Peter Barton Hutt; participants at the AALS New Voices in Administrative Law workshop, most importantly Jack Beerman, Kent Barnett, Bill Buzbee, Chip Murphy, and David Rubenstein; participants in the AALS Food Law Section workshop, including Sarah Morath, Robert Glicksman, Laurie Beyranevand, and Mathilde Cohen; participants in Mike Pappas' online workshop, including Ed Richards, Justin Pidot, Katy Kuh, Brigham Daniels, Deepa Badrinarayana, Shi- Ling Hsu, Dave Owen, and Sharmila Murthy; finally, Miriam Seifter and the participants in the Administrative Law New Scholarship Roundtable, especially Michael Sant'Ambrogio, Kati Kovacs, Nick Bagley, Kristin Hickman, Matt Lawrence, Chris Walker, and Nick Parillo, the last of whom said to me early in my research that if there are indeed elected federal regulators it would force us to reconsider our entire notion of administrative law. I haven't gone that far ... yet. ISSN 0041-9915 (print) 1942-8405 (online) * DOI 10.5195/lawreview.2020.774 hnp://lawreview.law.pitedu 1
