The remaining and the lake you rant and rave all they want about President Trump, Elon Musk, the DOGE, and the attempts to introduce and reduce legal waste in the federal government, but as one legal law specialist tells The Federalist, there’s no” there” there.
Perhaps the D.C. prosecutor who made Trump’s living hell is aware of this.  ,
More than a dozen communist state attorneys general filed an immediate complaint on Tuesday, prompting U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to stop the Department of Government Performance from granting pink slips to thousands of employees and accessing company records.  ,
Chutkan, the judge who presided over the false election interference case against Trump that political Special Counsel Jack Smith brought against the then-GOP political candidate, said states haven’t” carried their burden” to present the states did” suffer immediate, catastrophic harm” by DOGE’s government downsizing plan.  ,
In her ruling, Chutkan noted what news consumers have come to understand: You can’t base your legal claims off of the suspect accounts of corporate media, a Trump-hating propaganda press that has routinely lied to Americans.  ,
” Plaintiffs ask the court to take judicial notice of widespread media reports that DOGE has taken or will soon take certain actions, such as mass terminations”, the Obama-nominated , judge wrote. However, these reports cannot replace” specific facts” in an affidavit or verified complaint that clearly demonstrate the severity of an immediate or irreparable harm, loss, or damage. ‘”  ,
The 14 blue state attorneys general brought the legal action seeking a temporary restraining order because, they allege, Musk’s actions violate the Constitution’s Appointments Clause. They claim that because the billionaire tech titan has not been confirmed and nominated by the president, Musk and DOGE lack the legal authority to carry out the government fat-cut voodoo they do so well. Musk “exercises virtually unchecked power across the Executive Branch, making decisions about expenditures, contracts, government property, regulations, and the very existence of federal agencies”, the states assert.  ,
They don’t want the D. C. court to let DOGE play any more reindeer games. No “accessing, copying, or transferring any data systems in the Office of Personnel Management, and the Departments of Education, Labor, Health and Human Services, Energy, Transportation, and Commerce. No disciplinary action or suspension of officers or employees in those organizations. They claim that DOGE’s ongoing efforts to highlight the potentially trillions of dollars in misappropriated taxpayer funds and the dismissal of a portion of the 2.3 million federal government employees who make up the payroll will only cause harm.  ,
Chutkan, however, found the AGs have failed to satisfy he” high standard for irreparable harm. ”  ,
Plaintiffs ‘ declarations are brimming with evidence that Plaintiff States will suffer severe financial and programmatic harm if Musk and DOGE Defendants halt, suspend, or significantly reduce federal funding or end federal-state contracts, according to the judge. However, it is insufficient to say that there is a “possibility” that defendants may take actions that irreparably harm Plaintiffs. “
Lawsuit Fog
In the separation of powers, Trump is the head of the executive branch, and the executive branch has control over the executive branch. However, there is a bigger problem at play.  ,
” There’s no’ there’ there with these lawsuits,” constitutional law expert Hans von Spakovsky, senior Legal Fellow in The Heritage Foundation’s Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, told The Federalist Tuesday on the” Simon Conway Show.”” I’ll explain to you very clearly why. Elon Musk lacks any executive authority. He is simply an adviser to the president. ”  ,
A court document from the White House on Monday states that Musk is not a DOGE employee and that he “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions.” ”  ,
Trump wants it when DOGE acts. The president is receiving recommendations from DOGE. He can do with them what he wants, he’s the” ultimate decider, “von Spakovsky said, particularly when it comes to accessing information, including classified information inside the executive branch.  ,
Elon Musk could do it if he wanted to give him a top secret clearance at this time. And no one could question that, “von Spakovsky said.  ,
In the Name of Democracy,
Democrats and their supporters in the shama are trying to convince voters that they are uniting forces against the man they portray as an enemy of democracy. However, Jonathan Turley, a professor of law at George Washington University, recently claimed that Democrats are trying to stop the Trump administration from phasing out wasteful spending.  ,
What’s interesting about the protests of many of these people is that many of them were trying to stop people from voting for Donald Trump, who ultimately won both houses and the majority of the vote, according to Turner told Fox News. They now claim that they should be able to slow down, stymy, and even stop some of the things he ran on in the name of democracy.
Turley claimed that the left’s campaign to “protect government waste” is” a level of denial that borders on delusion.” ” He said Trump is” well within his articles and powers.”
” A trial judge can try to stop that but that judge will be quickly reversed, in my view,” the attorney said.  ,
