Legislating from the bureaucracy

Should we expect any better from Hillary should she become president? William Jacobson, writing in Washington Examiner, doesn't think so;
in fact, I think we can expect worse.

Consider that Hillary went off the government grid to conduct her official business by setting up a private server at her home that was controlled by her personal staff.

...The server scandal is a metaphor for the old Hillary — opaque, controlling, paranoid, ruthless and power-hungry. It's proof that she hasn't changed.
