Paul Engelmayer, judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, has unilaterally forbidden all of Trump's political appointees—including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent—from accessing Treasury Department data.
The Judge explained that "following the voters' insanely irrational choice to elect Donald Trump president, the judiciary is now the last line of defense against his attack on democracy. By blocking all his access to the financial information held by the Treasury Department he and his minions will have no way of knowing the amount of funds available to operate the government and will be unable to run the government."
"I realize that I could be impeached by a Republican majority House of Representatives, but I also know that two-thirds of the Senators will not vote to convict me," Engelmayer said. "The process will still take time. This will quell the momentum of Trump's intended efficiency improvements allowing the spending priorities of President Biden to continue for the near future. Meanwhile, the legacy media will batter Trump as a usurper and enemy of democracy on a daily basis. Perhaps this will persuade voters to turn against him and undermine whatever mandate he thinks his reelection has given him."
"Meanwhile, members of the permanent government will have the opportunity to erase any records that could be used by Trump to try to justify the downsizing he wants to carry out," Engelmayer added. "His reforms will be attenuated if not wrecked. His popularity will decrease and the path charted by the more enlightened visionaries inside all the federal departments and agencies can resume its previous course."

Ignore and carry on.
I believe so.
The idiot just wrote why he’ll be overturned in a couple days and then hopefully impeached.
This article is 3 days old.
