The election of Donald J. Trump to the presidency shocked the
political establishment, triggering a wave of hysteria among the
bicoastal elite that may never subside. The biggest shockwaves of
all, however, were felt not in the progressive parishes of
Manhattan or San Francisco, but in the halls of the political
elite's cherished and oft-overlooked center of power-Washington,
DC's sprawling "administrative state"-for President Trump
represented an existential threat to its denizens, who came to be
known as "swamp creatures." How did it come to pass that the
"draining of the swamp" would become a core aim of the Trump
administration, impacting everything from judicial appointments to
the federal budget and regulatory policy? Marini's unmasking of the
administrative state goes beyond bureaucracy or legalism to its
core in an intellectual elite whose consensus transcends whatever
disagreements flare up. The universities, the media, and
think-tanks that denounce Trump are its heart. The answer to this
question and many more lies in the underappreciated but
revolutionary scholarship of Professor John Marini, collected in
his new book, Unmasking the Administrative State, which tells the
critical missed story of the last century of political history: The
ascendance of the theory behind and resultant growth of an
administrative state that has supplanted limited constitutional
government with the tyranny of unbounded anticonstitutional
bureaucracy. Marini illustrates the existential threat of the
administrative state to our republic, exposes the regressive
philosophy from which it springs, and argues for the reassertion of
the founding principles to restore self-government. The Trump
administration may be the best chance to apply the lessons of
Marini's life's work and seize this remarkable opportunity to
restore power to its rightful owners: the American people.
