Warren’s ditzy brain isn’t mature enough to have a brainchild.
It was designed to provide jobs for Warrens politically motivated cronies.
This is agency that deserves to be DEFUNDED and DESTROYED. I hope the Supremes vote to burn it down and salt the earth it occupies. Metaphorically.
So many criminals in government...so little accountability to anyone. Hang them all. (Of course after arrest...fair trial...and conviction)
Literally works, too.
