A Federal judge stopped DOGE from assessing where taxpayer dollars are going. Just exposing it was deemed unconstitutional. Let that sink in

[Nostra]

The judge tells the President what he can and cannot do, based on the Constitution and previous legal precedent.

That's why there are 3 co-equal branches of government, gomer. -- So one corrupt branch of government (Trump and the Executive Branch in this case) can't implement a dictatorship.

If they are co-equal why do you think one can tell the other what it can and can’t do?

 

[Nostra]

By the way, "unconstitutional" means "illegal".

In case anyone was trying to draw a false distinction.

How ironic that the only illegal activity that has been exposed is by fuckboi Musk and his collection of fuckbois.

Like Biden’’s student loan diversion scheme?

AG Bondi and the WH attorney need to hold a press conference and explain why they told Trump to ignore the illegal court order so the MSM knows it wasn't Trump's decision.

I think most people think that a federal judge stopped DOGE from stopping USAID from distributing funds, when really the judge stopped taxpayers from knowing where they taxes were being spent.

Shouldn't all money being spent by the government be transparent for all to see?

To not agree seems very anti-democratic and with the stain of corruption and shame all around it.

Impeach this tyrannical judge.

What a weird little lie.

But we definitely know they were acting legally and within the bounds of their power, unlike elon musk, the criminal.

I posted this essay by Victor Davis Hanson today under its own thread

Unfortunately some mod strangled it to death for reasons known only to him

So, if no one objects I’ll post it again here

because it neatly sums up this debate

[Mac-7]

The democrats in congress, the media and on this forum are looking like fools

We may not win every battle with the activist lib judges, but trump is setting up to win the midterm election in 2026

The next obvious step going to the high court

But even that is not enough

We need legislation in congress

DOGE is now a gray organization, and Elon Musk is a gray leader. Musk is risking his own life. Does he really want to find himself in court? lol.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, was created by President Trump to identify fraud and waste within federal agencies by renaming the United States Digital Service[1]. The legality of DOGE is under question, with lawsuits challenging its authority and access to sensitive data[1][4].

Legal Challenges:

• Multiple lawsuits have been filed against DOGE, questioning its legitimacy as a federal agency and its compliance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act[1].
• Concerns have been raised about DOGE's access to sensitive personal and financial information from the Department of Treasury, Department of Labor and other federal agencies, leading to legal actions to block such access[1].
• A temporary restraining order was issued against DOGE, preventing access to Treasury systems and requiring the destruction of downloaded material[3].
• The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) filed a lawsuit, claiming DOGE's data incursion is illegal under the Privacy Act of 1974, citing the unlawful disclosure of personal data[3].

Concerns and Responses:

• Lawmakers and legal experts have expressed doubts about DOGE's power to cut spending already approved by Congress[2].
• Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer stated that DOGE is not a legitimate government agency and lacks the power to make spending decisions or disregard federal law[2].
• The White House has stated that DOGE is operating fully in accordance with federal law, with its members holding appropriate security clearances and being employees of the relevant agencies[2].
• Some have criticized the humanitarian assistance agency as a "criminal organization," with the Trump administration aiming to reduce its workforce[4].
• The University of California student government filed a lawsuit to prevent DOGE from accessing data concerning millions of student borrowers with federal loans[4].

Because the judge has stopped him...you should be thanking that judge.

You don't thank the arsonist (Musk). You thank the fire department (the judge).

Yes, he is. And every Federal judge and every Constitutional law professor is saying that Trump is violating the law.

The only way that Trump is going to get his way is if he ignores the judicial rulings....and that is what you want to happen.

You happily embrace King Trump because you are a Nazi. It's that simple.

Just read the judges' rulings explaining why Trump is full of shit.

That should be good enough...even for someone as simple as you.

Read the judges' rulings, gomer. You get more irrational with each post.

That judge has been overruled by a higher federal judge and may be impeached. Congress isn't messing around.
Musk and DOGE went to the IRS yesterday. What was all that bluster you was puttin' up fer?

This was the day before yesterday. DOGE went to IRS yesterday.

Pretty sure the link is in the last post of mine here.
