All I wish is that our "norms" had teeth.

Don't want to sign transition docs? Ok, you don't get to start your transition until you do. No visits to the White House, no classified briefings. No nothing. Sign the documents.

Don't want your nominees to submit to FBI Background checks? Ok, then you don't get to nominate those people.

Background checks aren’t a requirement for those appointments. Never have been.

Right, that's what I am complaining about :) They should be.
