All administrative agencies have a particular mission. How the mission is enacted or perceived can be politically motivated. Professor David Bernstein argues that the staffers at these agencies may not be political but they do necessarily subscribe to the mission of the agency.

David Bernstein is a University Professor and the Executive Director of the Liberty & Law Center at the Antonin Scalia Law School.
