Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said Thursday on CNN’s “OutFront” that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is illegal and unconstitutional.
Host Erin Burnett said, “A group of 14 states tonight just filing a new lawsuit against DOGE, arguing that Elon Musk’s ascent to power in the Trump White House is unconstitutional.”
Nessel said, “It’s a clear violation of The Appointments Clause, right? You know, the United States Constitution, it grants the President of the United States the ability with advice and consent of the Senate, to appoint cabinet secretaries and directors over particular agencies. But Elon Musk in DOGE, which falls within the branch of The Office of Management and Budget, um, he doesn’t have the power to be marauding through all of these various different departments and agencies of government.”

Dana must have stayed home from school to watch “DA View” on the day they studied the Constitution. Idiot.
Lincoln Law school degree isn’t for serious lawyers...
Can’t help but wonder where this outrage was when Obama appointed all his Czars.
It is encouraging to learn that the DemocRATs have at least heard of the Constitution.
AG Dana Nessel has been known to be wrong.....often.
Simmer down, Nessie. Everything is legal and above board.
Exactly what is it about DOGE, that has got your nose out of joint?
Interesting, Mr AG. By what authority did John Kerry have to fly around the globe meddling as “climate czar”?
Her mommy didn’t let her watch Schoolhouse Rock on Saturday mornings
well actually the MI guy doesn’t give a coherent explanation why Musk’s job is “unconstitutional”
or illegal.
and there is provision for presidents to sequester, not spend funds
s.he or their attorney will need to come up with a clearer legal analyis or theory if they expect to get anywhere with it
now then, there COULD be (I haven’t enough info to determine) ... there could be some problems with how the results of Musk’s reviews are implemented (like, any applicable civil service laws or?)
we will see
The real fun is DOGE its actually a renamed Obama administration agency I believe.
Fraud, waste and abuse must not be disclosed!
I can’t believe she paused the munch to say something this stupid.
With the blessing of POTUS he does....go and ‘embrace the suck’.
matchnook cover school of law and shoe repair....
The state is going to be loosing their government slush fund money to fund all their petty social and lifestyle programs and the retirement programs. There is more I could think about but I need to get to work.
yes it was already there
