Actually, any one of them that contains the word “Federal” in them.
I hope the author realizes the stiff competition the EEOC is up against.
How about the office of the pResident?
Coincidentally, I recently considered posting a vanity about which FedGov agency FReepers think is the worst. It really would be a tough choice, with so many deserving options: VA, IRS, EPA, Justice, ATF, BLM...seriously, is there even one that isn’t corrupt, incompetent or both?
in the words of Dune author, Frank Herbert:
“Power attracts the corruptible. Absolute power attracts the absolutely corruptible. This is the danger of entrenched bureaucracy to its subject population. Even the spoils systems are preferable because levels of tolerance are lower and the corrupt can be thrown out periodically. Entrenched bureaucracy seldom can be touched short of violence. Beware when Civil Service and Military join hands.”
A political philosopher (I don’t recall his name) formulated a theory of bureaucracies. He described their life cycle as having three stages:
1) The bureaucracy is created to serve an alleged need of the people. Its mission may be clear and its apparatus novel but streamlined.
2) It grows as it ostensibly meets its charter and comes to realize that its continued existence, which provides security for its employees, is dependent on an ongoing need for its services. So it begins to expand its scope far beyond its charter in an attempt to justify its existence.
3) By now it has grown so large that it is no longer concerned with producing results. It consumes so many resources and provides so many sinecures for incompetents that it becomes a force all its own. It then imposes its will on the populace, secure in the knowledge that it needn’t beg for resources any more; it is powerful enough to just take them.
Or, in short ...
1) Bureaucracies are created to serve the people.
2) Bureaucracies evolve to serve themselves.
3) Bureaucracies end up being served by the people.
Therefore, bureaucracies are the enemies of liberty and refuges for parasites.
Nope. BATF....always has been, always will be the bottom of the barrel for everyone. They get all the rejects in federal service.
So-called “Affirmative Action” is nothing more than STATE-SANCTIONED RACISM.
And it’s Racial Profiling.
Liberals never did understand ethics very well...
My nominee: Reid’s “US” Senate.
The 1964 Civil Rights Act was challenged and found constitutional under the commerce clause. Racial segregation affected interstate commerce.
In 1942, Scotus found congress could enact statutes to regulate anything that remotely affected interstate commerce.
In the 1930s, Scotus came to the conclusion that it would not fill the void of protecting state interests under the 10th Amendment.
In 1913, the American people fell for progressive snake oil and ratified the 17th Amendment. It did away with the constitution's structural protection of state interests.
