Biden Breaks Historic Political Norms, Fires Independent Board Appointees
Breitbart ^ | February 15 2021 | ALLUM BOKHARI

Posted on 02/15/2021 7:56:05 AM PST by knighthawk

The Biden administration has broken with historical norms by firing Trump-appointed members of independent agencies serving fixed terms, a move that one appointee claims is illegal in a lawsuit. At least one Democrat supporting the effort says this must be done because some of the appointees are too white.

It is unprecedented for a new administration to fire members of independent agencies serving fixed terms. But the Biden administration is trying to do so anyway. One appointee, Roger Severino, is suing the Biden administration over its decision to terminate him.

“The Council does not wield any executive power — indeed, it does not wield any power at all as a purely advisory entity — so President Biden has no constitutional power to terminate Mr. Severino or any other member of the Council,” states Severino’s lawsuit.

They are always “breaking historical norms”; that is what is means to “fundamentally transform” a country.

The Bolsheviks killing the Tsar’s children was “breaking historical norms”, as was the Pathet Lao murdering the royal family in labor camps...

Biden administration has broken with historical norms

1) Dems say why be normal? 2) "Laws" are for someone not in power and of little notice for the hard charging Leftists in power. 3) Dems will keep going at full speed with their overthrow of the American Way of Life until they run into a brick wall.

Which I pray will be soon.

You know if someone dared say "...some of the appointees are too black..." or "...some of the appointees are too Hispanic..." or "...some of the appointees are too gay..." these self-same people who say they are "too white" would be calling for that person to be strung up in the town square.

To the leftist, it is only ok to be racist towards whites, only ok to be prejudiced against employed, white, Christian males. But when it comes to that demographic, anything goes.

At the root of this Democrap-engineered incident lies the liberal dogma of "identity politics."

Created by vote-crazy pols, and embedded in schools, and on university campuses for more than a generation, the putrid lib ideology surges through the media, commerce, on/profits, and Democrat-controlled government.

U.S. society as a whole is characterized as a “system of oppression”....thus creating budding terrorists.

It is now routinely claimed that “the US government was founded on racist intellectual premises and economic practices
that institutionalized oppression of people of color that continues to the present day” (Seattle Public Schools teaching).

According to the Democrat deputy mayor of D.C., John Falcichio, one of the reasons why these appointees have to go is because they’re too white. “With these appointments, the CFA now consists entirely of white, male Trump appointees

To understand how wrong this is, imagine a Republican saying appointees are "too black".

“...this must be done because some of the appointees are too white.”


Imagine, if you will, if someone said that this firing must be done because some of the appointees are too black.

so President Biden has no constitutional power to terminate Mr. Severino

So, who does have the power terminate Mr. Severino?

Sure, some of the appointees are too white. But they’d be willing to do blackface from time to time, would that help?

Yes, laws are to be used to suppress and destroy political opponents. Loyal party members are not bound by the laws in place.
