Rather than hear sober, reasoned jawboning like every prior President, some of us would like radical action. We are totally disgusted by what our government has devolved to and we want a total reboot.

I didn’t even vote for the guy, but I have never been so optimistic about a politician as I have about Trump this first month. I am sure he will break things along the way, but as much as I regret this, I would much rather that he goes too fast than too slow.

"By that I mean — I am frequently in the position of arguing in the context of a particular lawsuit, “I’m sorry that happened to you, but you can’t sue for that. Even if what you said is true, the government still wins.” The government wins because you filed your suit too late. Or too early. Or you didn’t fill out the form right. Or there’s an exception to the rule that applies here. Or, or, or. Sorry. You’re out of luck. It’s not fair, but it’s what is. Doing this kind of work day-in, day-out makes one an institutionalist in the strongest possible sense. My job is to defend the institution of government, and I believe in that institution and I want it to succeed."

You wrote that, yet you still don't understand that we peons are fed up to here with federal bureaucracy? Everything you said is why I'm glad Trump is taking a weedwhacker to the DC bureaucracy.
