Law Elon calls for impeachment of any judge who rules against him

[avenue94]

No. I didn’t find it strange. it’s not that they don’t feel they have a case to explain the presidential authority to hire and fire workers within the executive branch. That seems pretty easy, doesn’t it?

Why would a president be able to waive civil service rules at a whim? There's a proper way to fire workers, follow it. That's straight forward enough.

It’s intentional because they know it was a shopped judge who is predisposed to the ruling they were sought out for and the appeal phase is all that matters. They’ll testify and lay their case for that. Should be a layup

Do you also oppose venue shopping by the GOP? I'm personally fine with randomizing judge assignments, or for that matter supreme court assignments.

At any rate, your complaint is moot given multiple judges across the country rejected Trump's illegal efforts.

But I understand the frustration and the desire to flout them. It is blatant judge shopping and activism. How do all these left wing grievances so conveniently land at the feet of an Obama, Biden or Clinton judge?

The judiciary and quite a few democrats supported reforms to stop venue shopping. But Texas' most extreme jurisdictions and the GOP fought this reform. Seems a little hypocritic to only now be concerned with venue shopping, doesn't it?

Are you sure you're against venue shopping in general, or only when it aligns with your partisan preferences?

All their actions are being made public and published on their website. Typically government doesn't make any of this information around their spending public, so this is a much higher level of transparency than has ever been provided previously.

What are these documents that they are supposedly hiding?

Their website is full of bullshit. Have you been gobbling up all those savings like $50 million for Gaza condoms? If you're serious about the ruling then just Google it.

 

[LangfordBarrow]

Of course they do. DOGE are simply acting as auditors, they have the power to do absolutely nothing but make recommendations.

Their oversight comes from the heads of these departments that actually approve any of the changes DOGE suggests and as these departments are all part of the executive branch of government, they need to meet the ultimate approval of the head of that branch of government.

...or did you actually mean, they have "NO oversight" by people that YOU approve of?

That's some funny shit right there.

 

[LangfordBarrow]

Elon needs to fuck off somewhere far in the distance.

Why, he paid for his seat, he should get the perks like a WH dealership to boost his stock.

No CONGRESSIONAL oversight. You know, how it's supposed to work? They are a third party. It's the reason I don't buy supplements if they aren't tested by a trusted 3rd party. The dept. heads are Trump lackeys and will rubber stamp anything Elon wants to do. And how do you know that the heads of these depts are getting the heads-up before Elon and DOGE make cuts and fire people?

So you admit your MSNBC/CNN talking point about having no oversight is bullshit then? They have two layers of oversight for their recommendations... you just don't approve of those two layers.

Congress controls how much money is allocated to each government department. They have zero oversight or say in how the money is spent WITHIN those government departments, and never did.

Because DOGE have no power to do ANYTHING but make recommendations.

Aah the usual response when you know that you can't argue a point. Embarrassing

Which part of anything that I said was incorrect?

Dude, oversight by other Trump stooges doesn't count. Congressional oversight is there for the "check" in checks and balances. It's the way the gov't is supposed to work. Congress 100% has oversight powers. You must not be American, correct?

You said they had no oversight, which is blatantly false. You just don't approve of the people that are their oversight because they are not people that agree with you. That's perfectly fine, your approval of those acting as their oversight is not required.

Congress has any control of the way that money is spent WITHIN a government department? Since when?

That’s just not true. They’ve provided no proof and are being mandated by a court judge under the Freedom of Information Act to show us the goods. Elon claimed “fraud and corruption” but has been dragging his heels on the evidence part.

Lol what, how have you never read spending bills. They frequently attach conditions for funding. Do you think the US just lets the Pentagon spend money on whatever programs it wants?

Learn how my gov't runs before you have conversations about it. Yes, Congress has the right to know how depts are being run.

An “official government website” with tweets from Kari Lake. Jesus you gotta be kidding me. Sorry that’s not gonna cut it. Judge is demanding the publication of real evidence for a reason.

That's not what we were talking about and you know it. Congress have no say in how the money they have allocated is spent WITHIN a government department once they have allocated it and you know it. Or are you really going to argue that congress controls how each dollar is spent within those departments?

Congress controls budget allocations, the department head controls spending within that government department.

Calls to authority, rather than arguing on facts is just embarrassing.

Elon got authorization for his .gov at the wave of Trumps hand. So what? You think that automatically makes Elon responsible and trustworthy? Doge.gov is the most illegitimate government website I’ve ever seen.

It’s a joke. It looks like a MySpace page and it’s already been hacked. The site went up after doge had already started locking people out of their computers and offices and before anybody even new what the department was or who was running it.

You may not like it, you may not agree with it(which you've made very clear) but it absolutely IS an official government site.

I'd trust Elon far more than the nameless, faceless, unaccountable bureaucrats that usually make the spending decisions within those government departments.

You trust a billionaire who retweets white nationalist propaganda, doesn’t pay taxes, wants to stop people from collecting their social security and prevented his home country from receiving foreign aid? Not me.

What are you even talking about? This is what an appropriations bill looks like.

One of the clauses in it.

"Sec. 8031. None of the funds appropriated by this Act may be used for the procurement of ball and roller bearings other than those produced by a domestic source and of domestic origin: Provided, That the Secretary of the military department responsible for such procurement may waive this restriction on a case-by-case basis by certifying in writing to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate, that adequate domestic supplies are not available to meet Department of Defense requirements on a timely basis and that such an acquisition must be made in order to acquire capability for national security purposes: Provided further, That this restriction shall not apply to the purchase of “commercial products”, as defined by section 103 of title 41, United States Code, except that the restriction shall apply to ball or roller bearings purchased as end items."

Judges threatened with impeachment, bombs for ruling against Trump agenda​

Elon Musk, who oversees the Department of Government Efficiency making cuts to federal agencies, himself has repeatedly posted on social media about impeaching judges who delay or block parts of Trump's agenda.
