Why the Constitution is now null and void

[KCFlyer]

Have never been fun of Trump or even Musk. But it does not mean that they can't do something good even if it is by pure chance.

But they can do a helluva lot of bad by thinking they are the smartest guys in the room.

Yeah, that's like saying at least the nuclear bomb cured your skin condition. The problem is that it cured the condition of having skin (or organs, or bones, or anything at all while it was doing it

New lawsuits against Musk for essentially having the power of a cabinet secretary but not having been approved by the Senate.

Two new cases accuse the ultra-wealthy CEO of illegally amassing too much government power without the accountability typically required of high-level executive branch officials. They are seeking court orders that would force Musk to halt the cost-cutting and information-gathering activities he has been spearheading through his U.S. DOGE Service.

The lawsuits rest on a provision of the Constitution that says powerful federal officers must be “established by law,” must be formally appointed by the president and must be confirmed by the Senate. Musk, of course, has not been confirmed by the Senate, and his role is amorphous and ill-defined. He has been operating out of the White House as the head of the newly created DOGE enterprise, which stands for Department of Government Efficiency but is not a formal government department. It was established by a Trump executive order, not by Congress.

The constitution doesn't matter. Funny, because I thought they loved the constitution....yet they sit idly by while their constitution gets trashed.

They love their constitution the same way they love their Bible - very selectively indeed.

At least Biden left a democracy intact. There are 3 branchs of government so far, only one has been utilized. In most third world countries we call that what it is - a dictatorship.

This one isn't exactly a Republican. More, he's a Russian living in Russia with suspiciously good Internet access and apparently nothing to do all day long but post here with the latest propaganda line from the Kremlin.

He has been doing this for years, and honestly he's a really useful way to know exactly what the Russian or the GOP's byline is going to be before it ever touches Western media.

Why is that suspicious?
And how did you make such conclusion anyway?

Speaking of Biden and intact democracy.
Canceling democracy in Romania happened on Biden's watch, just saying.

DOGE wasn't just pulled out of Trump's ass. He cleverly took over an existing Obama agency called USDS which already had funding and legality and renamed it DOGE. So basically these lawsuits are going to be litigating against an Obama era created agency saying Obama and Congress gave it too much power. They are frivolous lawsuits with no merit.

For anyone confused on how DOGE was created or even allowed to exist...

Here's a little bit of history...

I have an idea that Elon named it since he has the mentality of a teenage gamer - DOGE originallly was a JOKE bitcoin.

Without digging deeper, I'llk accept the article as it is - it was created under Obama. But we never heard of it. Mostly because Obama didn't use it the way Trump and Musk are using it. I know this because if ANY democrat did exactly the same things Trump adn Musk are doing in exactly the same way, right wing media would have been howling. So how abut this..let's keep that Obama era thing in place since it's apparently a great deal....but let's let Congess run it...not Elon Musk.
