By Stephen Frank on Dec 05, 2017 08:09 pm
There are two ways to shut down a government agency.  The best way is for Congress to end its misery and the misery of the American people.  The other is to agree that all of the lawsuits against it, claiming it is acting illegally and unconstitutionally are correct—then the agency has nothing to do.  As […]
