We have a new President who isn't shy about blurring the lines
of separation between the executive, legislative, and even the judicial
branches of government. He publicly condemned a judge based on his
ethnicity in a private case. He also attacked a judge who struck down
his order on immigration. I find it troubling to be debating a bill
that would make government agencies even more dependent on the judgment
of the White House when many of us question the judgment of the
gentleman currently occupying the Oval Office. Under current law, independent agencies, like the Environmental
Protection Agency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Federal
Communications Commission, and many others don't need approval from the
administration to move forward with a new rule or regulation.
