With all this screeching by Liberals and Democrats that DOGE headed by private citizen Elon Musk is somehow "unconstitutional," they conveniently FORGET about the War Production Board, an agency established by EXECUTIVE ORDER by Franklin Delano Roosevelt during WWII. Here is a list of the members of the War Production Board which consists of NO elected officials. This information comes from WIKIPEDIA so no one can claim the source is somehow "right-wing":

William Beverly Murphy, president and CEO of Campbell Soup Company
Charles E. Wilson, president of General Electric
T. S. Fitch, president and CEO of Washington Steel Corporation
Faustin Johnson Solon, a chair of the War Production Board, representing O-I Glass
Irving Brown, representing the American Federation of Labor
Matthew M. Fox, vice president of Universal Pictures

REAL reporters need to be asking the whiny leftists if they think the War Production Board was unconstitutional.

That’s (D)ifferent!

I just hope the rogue judge challenges are taken up QUICKLY by the Supreme Court because they are such obvious BS given past history.

Good post.

The left’s whining and crying always turns out to be lying.

The Lying Left saying it is unconstitutional for private citizens to be engaged in eliminating unconstitutional federal agencies and activities????

I don’t think so.

The War Production Board was not some minor agency. It controlled the direction of the U.S. economy during the war years. And not a peep from anyone back then or since about it being somehow “unconstitutional.”

If you can find the federal activity is an enumerated power in the Constitution, fine. But MOST of what the federal gov't does is NOT an enumerated power delegated to the Feds anywhere in the Constitution.

As for FDR, MOST of what he did aside from the war itself, was unconstitutional and not a peep from anyone back then.

I'm not arguing that the War Production Board is not constitutional. In fact my argument is, as then, so now, civilians involved in gov't activity does have precedent and in the case of DOGE, they are dealing with unconstitutional and, thus, illegal federal gov't activities. The Lying Left conveniently leaves that last part out.
