President Trump's presidency was marked by his vociferous commitment to drain the swamp, a metaphor for his pledge to reduce corruption and inefficiency within the federal government. While opinions differ on the extent of his success, there is undeniable evidence of his significant influence on the judicial branch of the United States. Trump's tenure saw the confirmation of 234 judges, confirmed by the United States Senate, reflecting a transformative shift within the judiciary. This cohort included three Supreme Court Justices, reshaping the highest court in the land, alongside 54 appellate court judges and 174 district court judges, thus significantly impacting the interpretation and implementation of federal law across the country. Furthermore, Trump's record-setting appointment of twelve circuit courts of appeals judges in his first year alone broke historical precedents and underscored his aggressive approach to judicial appointments. His administration also extended its reach to specialized courts, appointing judges to the Court of Federal Claims, Tax Court, Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, Armed Forces, and Military Commission Review, with notable designations of chief judges like Susan G. Braden, Margaret M. Sweeney, and Eleni M. Roumel. These actions, emblematic of his administration's priorities, suggest a deliberate strategy to infuse the judiciary with a philosophy aligned with his administration's objectives, thereby leaving a lasting imprint on the legal landscape of the United States.
The presence of appointees from the Obama administration in key governmental positions highlights the intricate and layered nature of federal bureaucracy, which often transcends the terms of individual presidents. This phenomenon is particularly visible within the State Department, where six undersecretary roles exist but only one is currently filled by an official appointed during the Obama era. The situation is similar for the assistant secretary of state positions, where out of more than twenty roles, merely three have appointees, underscoring a continuity that some observers argue influences policy direction long after the original appointers have left office. Conservatives have expressed concerns that this continuity leads to a sustained implementation of policies from the Obama administration, notably in areas such as the promotion of LGBT rights globally. This scenario underscores the challenge of policy shifts in a complex bureaucracy and raises questions about the balance between new administrative directives and the entrenched ideologies of existing officials, reflecting a broader dialogue about the influence of legacy in shaping ongoing policy and the real-world implications of prolonged bureaucratic inertia.
When confronted with questions regarding the numerous unfilled appointments within his administration, President Trump suggested that leaving these positions vacant was part of a deliberate strategy to reduce the size of government, asserting that many of these roles were largely unnecessary. This perspective resonates with a broader philosophy of streamlining federal operations to enhance efficiency and reduce bureaucratic overhead. However, the practical implications of such a decision have sparked considerable debate. Critics argue that by not filling these appointments, the underlying bureaucratic structures remain unchanged and continue to be influenced by remnants of Obama’s administration, which can inadvertently allow the entrenched ideologies and operational paradigms of former President Obama's tenure to persist. This scenario potentially undermines the transformative objectives of Trump's own administration by maintaining a status quo that might not align with his policies or vision for governance, thus highlighting a critical tension between the ideals of governmental efficiency and the practical necessities of effective administrative leadership.
The enduring influence of Deep State bureaucrats within the federal government has become a focal point in discussions about the continuity and disruption of presidential policies, particularly in the transition from President Trump's administration to Obama's third term under Joe Biden. Both Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden have publicly emphasized the importance of experienced federal employees staying in their roles, ostensibly to preserve a level of "competence and normalcy" in government operations. Their appeals to these employees to "stick it out" reflect a strategic effort to safeguard the institutional knowledge and policy continuity that might otherwise be jeopardized by wholesale changes in administration. This stance also illustrates a broader political strategy to disassemble Trump’s "America First" initiatives, which were often at odds with the Obama administration's policies. Reinforcing this dynamic, data from the Government Accountability Office indicates that approximately 80 Obama-era appointees have transitioned into civil service positions at the highest levels, where they are protected from at-will dismissal. This integration underscores a deliberate embedding of certain policy perspectives within the bureaucratic apparatus, serving as a bulwark against radical shifts in governance and highlighting the complex interplay between elected officials and the permanent bureaucracy in shaping U.S. federal policy.
In yet another turn of events, the complexity and reach of federal bureaucracy, organizations and bureaucrats as part of the Deep State have access to a formidable array of regulatory tools with which they can exert influence or pressure on their adversaries. Recent discussions have illuminated the vastness of this regulatory framework, with estimates suggesting that there are nearly half a million federal regulations carrying criminal penalties. However, the exact scope of these regulations remains elusive. When the Congressional Research Services was tasked with providing a precise count of statutes and regulations associated with criminal penalties for lawmakers, they found themselves unable to fulfill this request, citing a lack of resources and manpower necessary for such a comprehensive compilation. This scenario underscores a deeper issue within American governance: while the Constitution vests all legislative powers in Congress, the practical exercise of these powers has increasingly migrated to bureaucratic entities. This shift has not only diluted the legislative authority of Congress but has also blurred the lines between legislative and judicial functions, as the administrative branches of government continue to expand their influence through an ever-growing thicket of regulations and decrees. This burgeoning of administrative power represents a significant transformation in the structure and operation of government, raising questions about accountability, oversight, and the foundational principles of governance.
The revelation that nearly every American potentially commits multiple federal crimes daily without their knowledge highlights a troubling aspect of the nation’s extensive regulatory framework. This obscure complexity means that virtually anyone could inadvertently fall foul of a federal regulation, thus becoming a target if they pose a threat to the Deep State. Legal scholars argue that the vast array of federal statutes could implicate any American over the age of 18 in some form of criminal activity, underscoring a pervasive potential for prosecutorial overreach. This situation formed the backdrop for what was labeled a "fishing expedition" during Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into President Trump, illustrating how broad investigative powers could be leveraged into expansive and potentially dangerous inquiries. The use of such intelligence methods, foundational to the operations of the Deep State, underscores a disturbing reality where personal security and liberty are at constant risk. Emblematic of this approach are the cases of Mike Flynn and Dinesh D’Souza—both of whom were pursued for relatively minor legal infractions yet faced significant legal challenges. These instances starkly illustrate how small regulatory violations are sometimes magnified to exert pressure on specific individuals, which in the politically charged environment of Washington, DC, might seem as trivial as receiving a ticket for an expired parking meter but carry far more severe implications.
The concept of the Deep State varies widely depending on whom you ask, evoking a spectrum of associations from covert government layers to influential organizations like the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations, and various secret societies. At its core, the Deep State is often viewed as a network of bureaucrats and operatives deeply embedded within the government, wielding substantial power and influence far beyond their official capacities. This network is widely perceived as the tangible embodiment of the Deep State by the general population, though it is recognized as just one facet of a much larger, more complex structure that is not the central command but still significantly potent. These operatives are known for their robust, innovative strategies designed to safeguard their interests, effectively making them a formidable force within the governmental framework. The challenge of disarming this segment of the Deep State is critical for the preservation of Constitutional liberties. As President Trump has implemented measures to curtail this power, his actions could potentially include appointing staunch constitutionalists, dismantling any unconstitutional bodies, and reversing the expansive regulatory measures enacted under the Obama administration. The path forward is fraught with complexity, but adhering to Constitutional principles is seen as essential for steering America away from this entangled web of entrenched power and restoring governance that truly reflects the intent and values of the nation.
