DEVELOPING: Obama Judge Pushes Back After Ruling Attacking DOGE is So “Weirdly Written” and “Overly Broad” That It Could Lead to IMMEDIATE Shutdown of Social Security Administration

I think there is more than suspicion of fraud. There’s also evidence of it.

lol, that is what audits are, but as far as needles go this needle is as big as the space needle and easier to see.

Another judge that needs a visit from DOGE.

“The DOGE Team is essentially engaged in a fishing expedition at SSA, in search of a fraud epidemic, based on little more than suspicion."

Every audit could be described this way. This judge is a lunatic.

There’s a template for success here.

Administration needs to encourage lawsuits from friendly judges to “force” them to do what they want to do and check the lawsuits before corrupt, liberal judges.

For years, Dems have used strategic lawsuits like this to adopt unpopular policies and to reward their friends. Now it’s our turn.

The IRS does audits all the time, and they get real personal with your information. Send them in.

[suthener]

“The judge sided with the plaintiffs and said DOGE is likely violating privacy laws with access to social security numbers and other personal information.”

Here’s the logic; about a kabillion low level, nameless, faceless government bureaucrats have or had access to your private information, but the DOGE team isn’t trust worthy. That argument is incredibly stupid, but I guess it’s the best talking point they could come up with.

Typical-looking lefty DEI appointee.

oh i get it

the ones perpetrating the waste fraud and abuse have full access

the ones looking for waste fraud and abuse do not

"The judge continued, “Such assertions about the scope of the Order are inaccurate. Employee of SSA who are not involved with the DOGE Team or in the work of the DOGE Team are not subject to the Order. A DOGE Affiliate is defined in the Order, inter alia, as a person working on or implementing the DOGE agenda. Moreover, any suggestion that the Order may require the delay or suspension of benefit payments is incorrect.”

So now you just have DOGE order SSA to do this, do that. Find one or two reliable SSA G12-G13 DOGE-types (they exist) and away we go.

[joshua c]

the “judge” seems very upset that the

executive branch is auditing the executive branch

Yeah, mere suspicion. More than a million over the age of 120 receiving benefits.
