Just In: Obama Judge Chuang Says DOGE Worker Cannot Serve in Leadership Position at USAID
Gateway Pundit ^ | March 20, 2025 | Cristina Laila

Posted on 03/20/2025 7:18:21 PM PDT by Macho MAGA Man

As previously reported, DOGE official Jeremy Lewin took a senior leadership position at USAID as a radical judge ruled Elon Musk and DOGE likely violated the US Constitution when it shut down the agency.

On Tuesday Theodore Chuang, an Obama appointee, ordered Elon Musk and DOGE to reinstate all of USAID’s functionality.

The lawsuit was brought by current and former USAID workers.

Judge Chuang said DOGE’s decision to shut down USAID violated the Constitution’s Appointments Clause and the Separation of Powers.

The plaintiffs argued that Elon Musk is operating with unchecked power since he is not Senate-confirmed — and that since Elon Musk is not Senate-confirmed, he should be barred from issuing orders to anyone inside of the executive branch.

The judge also barred DOGE from any further actions related to USAID’s closure.

.... Snip....

Later Tuesday it appeared DOGE figured out a way to checkmate the judge: A senior DOGE official took over USAID and will have authority over the agency.

In an email obtained by the Associated Press, Pete Marocco, a Trump appointee in the State Department who was serving in a leadership role at USAID revealed the change.

The email was sent on the same day Judge Chuang issued his absurd ruling.

However, Judge Chuang enjoined Jeremy Lewin and prohibited him from taking a leadership position at USAID.

“Defendants shall not take any other actions relating to USAID without the express authorization of a USAID official with legal authority to take or approve the action,” Judge Chuang wrote in his order.

"Obama Judge Chuang has now usurped the Executive Branch's hiring and firing authority."

Just about every RAT appointed judge has since January 20th.

The judges making orders about DOGE are deep in silly season.

President Trump can hire who he likes.

Sounds like the punk “judge” is gonna get schooled.

Too bad he doesn’t get a tune-up at the same time.

DOGE does not “decide” anything.
Doge only identifies and recommends things.
Someone does not understand how all of this works.

(or they do understand but they are lying about it)

I have to side with the judge on this one.

It does say clearly on page three of the Constitution that a former DOGE worker cannot work for USAID. /s

The judges’ rulings are truly getting absurd! This is a crisis that should concern every American. They are no longer considering the Constitution, but ruling on their personal ideology. What’s to say more conservative judges couldn’t do the same thing now to officials implementing policies that happen to be left-leaning?

This dude reminds me of my brother when we were kids, changing the rules every time it looked like I would win a game.

Is this guy old enough to be driving yet?

I have to ask by who my friend. Roberts?

This is blow back from being too arrogant and too fast.

I hope you are right... :)

So far we have seen no evidence of that. There has yet to be any open defiance to any of these outrages rulings.

Surprised Joe Biden didn’t make this guy a Federal Court judge:

Calvin B. Ball III (born September 2, 1975) is an American politician who serves as the county executive of Howard County, Maryland. A member of the Democratic Party, he is the first African-American to hold this office. He previously served as a member of the Howard County Council from the 2nd district from 2006 to 2018.[1]

What these judges are doing is lawlessness pretending to be law. The left are co mitting lawless acts, one after the other, knowing that the right will cowtow beczuse “we don’t play dirty” like the left does.

That is true.

The administration is dancing around most of the decisions—showing the very real limitations of judicial rulings.

It is impossible to run the executive branch from the bench—way too complicated.

If MARCO RUBIO delegated authority to the DOGE official, how can Chuang enjoin him? The DOGE official has authority conferred to him by a duly nominated and confirmed appointee of the Trump administration.

(The DOGE official has authority conferred to him by a duly nominated and confirmed appointee of the Trump administration.)

According to Judge Chuang, as of today, that is no longer viable.
