if Andrew was still around, he would be in the administration.
in any event, his spirit is
Brilliant....absolutely brilliant....and long overdue.
======================================
Trump needs to factor in this little sneak play loved by Congress.....and advanced by Hope and Change Obama.The sneak play worked this way:
<><> Obamba issued immigration memos.
<><> he delegates to federal agencies, his presidential orders to come up with plans to embed his immigration orders in US policy.
<><> The federal agencies then "invent" Committees to do this.
<><>Then "Administrative Rules," after a comment period, are published in the "Code of Federal Regulations."
<><> Obamas immigration order magically turn into US law........ using federal fairy dust.
CONCLUSION Obamba is shielded from responsibility---he doesn't have to take the hit. Behind closed doors, he tells federal factotums what he wants.....and faster than you can say "the combo plate w/ extra hot sauce".....done.
=====================================================
THE "DELEGATION" HORROR STORY UP CLOSE--A Federal agency MO since 1946. It's down to a science: (1) publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), (2) make the comment period really short, (3) stonewall any negative comments, and, (4) publish the rule, which (5) NOW has the force of US law. No Congressman was ever involved, and obamba doesn't leave his DNA on it. Yet again, why "Delegation" is ominous for liberty---why the writing of administrative law by federal agencies - is un-Constitutional (hat tip to FReeper Regulator.)
Man I love the sound of that.
Ok fine but the GOP Congress needs to get off their asses.
There’s only so much Trump can do without them and they are a big part of the problem.
deconstruction of the administrative state.
I think that qualifies Donald Trump as a disestablishmentarian. Which means his opponents are guilty of ...
Wait for it ...
ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM.
The longest word in the English language. I’ve always wanted to find a legitimate reason to use that!
This Bannon guy is a national treasure!
HOORAY Bannon
WOOOHOOOO President Donald J. Trump
I hate the term ‘economic nationalism’. But the idea is prime. We can’t have a race to the bottom.
Gotta be a better phrase out there.
(I really like Wilbur Ross)
Bannon talks like a strategic thinker. I’m hoping he is paying attention to the end state that President Trump needs to create by the end of his first term.
What matters are facts on the ground - genuinely irreversible changes to America. Obama’s executive orders were for the most part ephemeral, but the creation of gay “marriage” as a legally-recognized institution is likely to be enduring.
President Trump probably cannot reverse that, but there are important changes that he can and should focus on, where even new legislation will not reverse the progress. Deporting illegals and building a border wall is probably at the top of that list, followed by repealing Obamacare, conservative judges and justices, and repealing intrusive/burdensome regulations.
The enduring legacy will be the changes that are not easily reversed, and each of those steps will endure.
Amen
