Congress Reminds Us How Titanically Stupid Bureaucracy ‘Comment Periods’ Are

1. In said “oversight” hearing, Senate Democrats were very angry about a May 2017 FCC Comment Period  held in advance of the Trump FCC rolling back a massive Barack Obama FCC power grab over the entirety of the Internet.
2. In a very lame attempt to ameliorate this obnoxiousness and in a lamely transparent attempt to make unaccountable bureaucrats appear accountable the Fourth Branch bureaucracies started having “Comment Periods” before imposing their power grabs.
3. If We the People weigh in and agree with the power grab the bureaucracy hails the results…and grows the government.
4. Speaking of The Swamp insulating itself from accountability: Behold the unofficial, unaccountable, unconstitutional Fourth Branch of the government the administrative state.
5. If We the People weigh in and disagree with the power grab the bureaucracy ignores the results…and grows the government.
6. The Obama Administration’s unelected-Fourth Branch Internet power grab was a power grab  precisely because it was jammed down upon us by the Obama Administration’s unelected-Fourth Branch.
7. If you want massive government impositions like this imposed upon us, you are supposed to have our elected Congress pass a bill and our elected President sign it into law.
8. The irony of the Legislative Branch spending decades outsourcing its job to the Fourth Branch  and then the former pretending to check in from time to time on the latter with “oversight” is lost entirely upon everyone in The Swamp.
