Well its clear now that my old stomping ground (the Fed) retains its independence, but the rest of the administrative state as an independent civil service is toast. While I can point to Trump for driving a stake through the heart of the administrative state, the Democrats own their share of this for having so badly abused the administrative state for capricious and arbitrary purposes (ty Warren and Gensler). Rather than putting a stop to capricious and arbitrary conduct, the Supreme Court has just green lighted the full politicization of the administrative state. Sigh

As the first candidate President Trump endorsed in CD-2 last November (see below), I can tell you he got it right the first time. But since I won’t be on the ballot, he made a mistake today. Northern Nevada Republicans deserve a strong Nevada voice in this district, just as they’ve had with Barbara Vucanovich, Jim Gibbons, Dean Heller, and myself for the last 43 years. The home team has done just fine. The time has not come for a national private political organization to pick for Nevadans, who speaks for them in the U.S. House of Representatives. I proudly voted for pure Nevada, Nevada proud, James Settelmeyer.  With all due respect Mr. President, Nevada already has five representatives who live in Clark County. Your endorsement if followed, would make it six out of six. CD-2 has been especially good to you throughout your three runs. This endorsement is an incredibly curious way to say thank you to those people who have been the bedrock of your political endeavors here in original Nevada. JAMES SETTELMEYER WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN.
