Garland Bans Political Appointees from Campaign Events

28. I'm thinking the founders, from their perspective of blissful naivety,

never envisioned a nation in perpetual campaign mode. Certainly they had no first hand knowledge of how mass communication would cripple their horse drawn model as it encouraged even the lowbred to peek under the skirts of that designedly exclusive club, the federal government.
Mr. Garland may try to stifle the misconduct of government employees under his watch by fiat but it's not likely to succeed in fact. That boat has already sailed, at least to the untrained eye. These last years have proved Mr Dylan correct, "The times, they are a'changin."
I tried to outlaw personal cell phones for employees on the job site. A production as well as a safety issue. You don't want to work in an excavation when the excavator operator is on his phone. But, alas, it was trying to hold back the tide, a fools errand. It is, after all, a free country. Except for military personnel, we are at liberty to assemble for our own purposes whenever we want. As soon as I had turned my back, the phones were at every ear except for the immigrant workers who tended to appreciate their jobs.
