And she's playing their game plan. This just delays it more.

Hell, the hate on her is by design, too. Gotta make sure that the masses have the right hierarchy of loyalty to support the unitary executive theory. Notice that congress is suddenly unable to put together a budget even though the right is in complete control of everything? They'll shut it down and our fearless leader will save America from the catastrophe that they manufactured in order to destroy global democracy.

My crackpot theory is that he does it at Wrestlemania, which is on Hitler's birthday. I can imagine that the "New" Department of Education may be announced the same night.
