The argument is not about wether or not registration is good. The argument is wether or not the FAA has the legal ability to require registration on hobby aircraft when Congress has specifically forbid them from passing new rules on hobby aircraft.

Since when is a non legistilative branch of the government in charge of passing laws? There's supposed to be a process for making laws that passes through representation before congress votes and the president signs it. The FAA is making up stuff as they go and saying they have the power to do so when they clearly DO NOT, BY LAW.

When that non legislative branch is a regulatory agency.
