In reply to the discussion: Judge bars Musk's DOGE team from Social Security records in scathing ruling [View all]AmericaUnderSiege
(777 posts)46. Exactly.
It doesn't take reading the Constitution very long to find where these people have no authority under it. So it's pretty bizarre how real constitutional authorities keep trying to avoid legal confrontation with them, and in the process weakening themselves further.
If they perjure themselves, charge them. If they ignore court orders, find them in contempt. Bribed higher court decisions holding these criminals "immune to law" are legally and incompatible with the basic fabric of constitutionalism.
Everybody just needs to do their goddamn jobs now. Like they should have been doing the whole time.
