Far-left Judge Chutkan of all people refused to halt Elon Musk and DOGE as they review the federal books. However, this could be temporary.
“A federal judge has just declined to issue an order halting Elon Musk and DOGE from accessing federal data and slashing personnel,” Harris Faulkner reported this afternoon.
“Attorneys general from 14 states are attempting to stop Musk and Doge from accessing data in seven federal agencies and from firing or putting on leave employees in those agencies. US District Court, Judge Chutkan just refused to issue a ruling from the bench, so at that point, she has not halted Musk and Doge from continuing their actions inside the seven agencies at issue here.”
Harris then asked a lawyer sitting with the Outnumbered panelists, “All right, two of the Supreme Court justices have subtly indicated that they would like to strike down the prevailing rule. It’s not statutory. Those two being Thomas and Kavanaugh, indicated in other decisions, they’d like to get rid of this rule that a single district court judge someplace in a country can issue a ruling that holds for the entire country.”
The attorney said, “It’s not what the Founding Fathers expected here, and it’s been gamed, and you know the right can do it too…”

Has even One Damn Judge even read the E.O’s. DOGE was created in Statute and only renamed in order to fit the acronym. Do they assume the change in name is a violation that makes moot the statute.
Stories like this one are hitting with lightning speed. Events are so fast now.
If I were Chutkan, I would be wondering how many times the left expects me to do the dirty work for them. Ruling that a president cannot audit the books is obviously wrong. She needs a really good excuse or slant. It is a matter of how much she cares about her reputation, and if she sees rewards for doing it. She knows she will be overturned.
It can be risky to make such a poor ruling. Eventually a judge crosses the line and gets removed. Threats of impeaching judges are useful.
