Robert Reich lays it out succinctly in this FB post, copied below. Point being, they are against the very the jobs they were appointed to uphold.
"To
date, Trump has picked an Attorney General who doesn’t believe in the
Voting Rights Act; a Secretary of Heath and Human Services who doesn’t
believe in government-provided health insurance; a Treasury Secretary
who wants to 'strip back' the Dodd-Frank Act, designed to prevent
another bank meltdown; a Secretary of Education who’s against public
schools; and, now, a Secretary of Housing and Urban Development who
doesn’t believe in the Fair Housing Act.
"Perhaps I’m
old-fashioned, but I don’t think the Senate should confirm people who
are on record as being against the laws they have a constitutional duty
to implement."
Yes, old-fashioned Mr. Reich. We've entered the post-truth era where such values are extinct and conflicts of interest cannot occur with the President. Or his Cabinet, apparently.
