@PPCGroyp @waterlover97 “IQ brownie points for using conditional statements” The boss seemed genuinely confused at a simple conditional, which would surprise most people. Unless you’re saying conditionals are somehow complex in which case… how would you feel if you didn’t have breakfast today?

Before an executive agency could: 1) invent a rule 2) investigate you for breaking the rule 3) charge you for breaking the rule, with a fat fine 4) You had to defend yourself in their kangaroo “administrative law” court It bypassed congressional and judiciary

@worthitformeme @TheFentoozler @jurassicpatek @guardpilot Judges are elected in some places. SC no, but they don’t write law they interpret it as a check on the other branches of government. Executive “rule making” bypasses Congress, and “administrative law” bypasses the judiciary. No checks and balances.
