The Harris-Biden team is blocking Trump’s ability to fire bureaucrats

The Constitution established three branches of government: Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. While each branch clearly requires employees to carry out the branch’s function, the Founders manifestly did not intend for these employees to call the shots. However, things have changed. Wilson planted the seeds of a vast bureaucracy, FDR grew those seeds, and the modern Democrat party, from JFK to Biden, turned the bureaucracy into an uncontrolled monster. Now, as a preemptive strike against a possible Trump presidency, the Harris-Biden team is trying to make it impossible for Trump to dislodge the bureaucrats or their regulations.
To lock in pro-Democrat federal employees, the Harris-Biden administration is operating outside of the usual parameters controlling federal hiring. Just the News reports:
An independent watchdog group is warning that the Biden administration is busy working to blunt the impact that a Trump presidency might have on the Department of Justice using special authority to appoint without competition select career civil servants to key roles.
“So what they’re doing is they’re using a hiring authority that’s outside of the normal competitive process for hiring career officials,” Protect the Public’s Trust Director Michael Chamberlain told the “Just the News, No Noise” TV show Tuesday.
“Normally to be hired into a career civil service job it takes a listing in usajobs.gov and they’ll have several candidates, and they’ll go through a competitive process to choose these. But, the DOJ is using a process outside of that, the non competitive process, to hire hundreds of attorneys into areas that are going to be vital to protecting the Biden Harris administration’s policies from a Trump administration or another future administration,” he continued.
