The power of bureaucrats run amok

William Teach links to an article by Rich Lowry at Politico entitled the Lois Lerner State.

It is appropriate that the worst scandal of the Obama administration— the IRS targeting of conservatives — is a scandal of administrators and bureaucrats, of otherwise faceless people endowed with immense power over their fellow citizens and running free of serious oversight from elected officials.

Teach then goes on to give some examples of the power of the fourth branch of government, the bureaucratic, administrative state.
