Trump is trying to 'promote' her to the Federal COurt of Claims. That nomination has been 'pending' in the Senate Judicary Committee. My guess is Trump or someone wanted a puppet who hates the FTC in the job.

Is one puppet necessarily better than another or does it just coincide with whom happens to share your beliefs? The problem occurs because those granted power only want to sustain their power. IMHO, that is what is wrong with bureaucracies—they are self-aggrandizing.

Inanimate objects aren't self-aggrandizing. Trump, OTOH, is.

Can you give examples to support your opinion? Or is it just part of your fantasy myth world?
