Create a separate Cabinet of 10. 1 for each of the Bill of Rights. Their job: to make sure the rights protected by each amendment they represent are protected. The person covering the third amendment can help out with the second amendment in between cases.

A "Czar" by any other name.....
That role is what the Supremes are supposed to do....before becoming political tools.
Smaller government please. No mutant/bastardized entities regardless of how well intentioned.

This weekend I made the comment to family members that President Trump could greatly improve the education system in America by abolishing the Department of Education and telling "the people" that education of the children is their local, county/parish, state responsibility.
Then while all the teacher's unions and education lobbyists are screaming and protesting, find another federal "Department of" to shut down and return the responsibility to the states. Continue until federal government is out of the people's everyday lives.

This. And in other areas. People choose to live in certain places for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is the mores around which they feel comfortable raising their children. To impose that on another local set of values is an act of war. Once a few of the teachers throw their chains off and remember why they took it up, the rest can find other work. San Fransanctuary & the emerging (yet to be recognized) People's Republik of Kalifornia will surely need barristas for the tourists, who will appreciate the blackmarket tips in USD. Then again, there's great surf, seafood & music in the Carolinas as well.

Like cockroaches...
The very disappointed (and largely ignored) Greenies have secured their funding to officially file for recounts in 3 states. WI was filed today right before the deadline, MI & PA to follow. Regardless of who pays for it (they are), the states have to endure getting the recount done before the elector deadline or their state's electoral votes get tossed. And besides waiting right till the deadline, the Greenies have demanded a hand count. I'm sure it's just coincidence that, immediately upon reaching their funding goal, they raised that goal by another $2M.
Articles abound, here's the one from FNC.

Any candidate who receives barely 1% demanding a recount is doing this on behalf of their closest ally which I would bet liberals have funded this in the hopes that they can change the electoral vote, hell they are offering to pay reps fines if they vote against the majority choice in their district.

I pray they don't pull an Al Franken and steal the election. One thing is for sure, the libs have planned this out from the get go. It is all about the popular vote, Russian Hackers, Fake News and making Trump Illegitimate.

Why the hell aren't the republicans doing this with California?
I'm sure Trump and/or some political group can scrounge up enough cash to demand a hand count of California's votes to be demanded just prior to the deadline. Good lukc with meeting that deadline...

Absolutely! The leftists want to play games, lets play games. Demand recounts in every state that went to Hillary.

I misspoke - the Republicans should do this every election cycle that the democrats win the electoral college vote with less than 325 votes (assuming California keeps their 55) so their candidate doesn't reach 270.
At least they're showing us all their cards - we should only be too happy to use them when the tables are turned and watch them piss themselves in terror after realizing they set the precedent and did this to themselves.
They get pissed when you remind them that "Elections have consequences, and in the end, Trump won," or that Trump also has a pen and a phone....
...they get even more pissed when you remind them that these were quotes from Dear Leader Obama.

When have the Republicans ever stood up for something? One of the reasons Trump was elected. They have no balls and are to scared about what someone will say about them.
Was hoping Trump was serious about emptying the sewer but after some of today's cabinet picks it doesn't look that way.

At least it's Trump who's picking the Cabinet.
I'm waiting for an exhaustive Benghazi investigation (which had better happen).

General Mattis --> SECDEF
Things are about to get sporty; and I don't think his confirmation is going to be a problem, procedurally or otherwise. For the Dems it is not the fight they want to pick.
