The Trump administration, in short, is challenging agencies ability to go after wrongdoing through administrative adjudication, and is seeking to undermine the independence of both first-line agency adjudicators and the heads of the agencies they work for.
That the Trump administration wants to upend a long-standing system for assuring both the reality and appearance of fairness in agency adjudication may be shocking. But it is not surprising. If you consider yourself on block watch for threats to democracy, take your eyes for a moment off the presidents Twitter feed and turn your attention to administrative law. Danger is lurking amid the complexity.

(10,811 posts)6. Trump's enablers are unquestionably dangerous
Trump bumbles and blathers but the real danger are his odious enablers who like carpenter ants are wreaking real damage to the country's understructure. They have goals of remaking the government in their own image, goals that go well beyond Donnie's thin skin, petulance, racism, etc.
Never forget, never forgive!

He's been pretty obviously an authoritarian all along.
