In SEC v. Jarkesy it appears SCOTUS struck a blow against the administrative state.
"We consider whether the Seventh Amendment permits the SEC to compel respondents to defend themselves before the agency rather than before a jury in federal court," the Majority writes.
It concludes a defendant is entitled to a trial by jury -- not have to go in front of a court where the administrative state plays judge, jury, and executioner

What Justice Gorsuch describes in his concurrence reflects the inherently tyrannical nature of the administrative state supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf…
Justice Gorsuch -- with whom Justice Thomas concurred -- details more administrative state tyranny. We've been de-sensitized to an unelected, unaccountable, awesomely powerful branch of government that's, shall we say, hard to square this with the Constitution supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf…
Inadvertently, Justice Gorsuch illustrates the decline of the justice system in America:
"As American colonists learned under British rule, 'the right of trial' means little 'when the actual administration of justice is dependent upon caprice, or favour, [or] the will of rulers.'"
