And an example would be? To be clear, my comment was intended as tongue-in-cheek; I don't condone agency misbehavior, whether by careerists or political appointees.
Example: The courts consistently rejected the Obama Education Department's Title IX interpretations, embodied in the infamous "Dear colleague" letter. Betsy DeVos went through the formal regulatory process to implement new interpretations that were consistent with the court rulings. The Biden administration recently reverted to something similar to the old, illegal Obama interpretations.
Fair point - overreach does not produce good policy, regardless of ideology or motivation. But do you seriously think a Biden presidency presents a more and present danger than a Trump one?
