It's basically "don't do non-urgent stuff that we'd probably revoke anyway, those two months aren't worth the hassle".
"Wheeler’s tenure as the nation’s top communications regulator, a period marked by a variety of pro-consumer reforms, is coming to an end. "
Didn't Wheeler and co. try to overturn net neutrality???? The only reason they failed is because of the outrage of millions of concerned Americans. Best thing "Last Week Tonight" ever did was to report on that.
No, Wheeler and the Democratic majority passed net neutrality, defended it in court, and when they lost passed a new (and in several respects stronger) version, based in a different legal authority than relied on for the first version.
The Last Week Tonight coverage was, as I recall, about a perceived loophole in the initial draft of the second net neutrality proposal, after the first was struck down.
You clearly do not know what you're talking about. Wheeler and his colleagues passed the strongest net neutrality protections in US history. I'd do a little more research.

Why do Republicans always appear to be the ones who want to burn the entire building down just because it has a leaky roof?
They key is that there is nothing in the Constitution that sets the size of the court. All that the Constitution requires is that there be a chief justice. The actual number is set by statute. We have nine now because that's what the statute says we should have. It has not always been nine, and there is nothing that requires it to stay nine.
If a party doesn't want to wait for current justices to retire or die in order to shift the direction of the court, it could expand the court instead and fill the new seats with its preferred justices.
It sucks but if you don't like it and you didn't vote Clinton it's your fault.
On the other hand, it is a pretty standard practice when administrations change over, same happened for Bush->Obama and Clinton->Bush.
Slightly more people who voted, voted for Clinton than for Trump. Also, more people voted "someone other than Clinton" than voted for Clinton.
And, in fact, none of that matters. Trump carried enough states to win the election, under the rules that governed the election.
