... that essential agencies be insulated from the vagaries of capricious presidents (who are invariably Republicans) appointing incompetent ass-kissers to run them. A president could still suggest nominees, but only a board of unassailable experts can appoint them. Congress has a disturbing percentage of blithering idiots making decisions for which they are grotesquely unqualified, so why do they get to decide who IS qualified for a critical position, without consulting people who actually know what their talking about? And, God forbid we ever get another brain-dead skidmark like Trump in the Oval Office, NO president can unilaterally gut an essential agency because he only got ONE scoop of ice cream at a state dinner.
Who can forget, "Helluva job, Brownie!" when Dubya's pet idiot fucked up royally in New Orleans? There have been too many instances of politics taking precedence over reason when lives are at stake. THAT shit has gotta stop. It's why we're up to our eyeballs in this brain-breaking clusterfuck now.
