    Shit like this fuels the deep state nonsense.

    This isn’t a secret Supreme Court, it’s just something public that you didn’t know about before.

    They’re just public administrators. It’s how government works.

      Ooooh, so scary!
      They hide their work behind public websites, and make their decisions in shadowy public meetings that (mostly) can be joined and participated in online. All their secretive work is hidden behind publicly accessible docket systems, hearings that anyone can attend or join as an intervenor, and open workgroups. If that’s not enough evidence of a clear conspiracy, consider this: Anyone can use the deep state’s FOIA laws to file a freedom of information act request to get more information about any topic. OoOoOoOoO

    There are [about] 200 state public utility commissioners across the country – every state has [a commission]. In about 40 of the states, they’re appointed – usually by the governor – although in a couple of states, it’s by the legislature. And then, in about 10 states, they’re elected.
