MI AG Nessel: Musk’s DOGE Is ‘Illegal, It’s Unconstitutional’
Breitbart ^ | February 13, 2025 | Pam Key

Posted on 02/14/2025 9:39:06 AM PST by Red Badger

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.”

Hey Dana, get back to me when congress holds regular order appropriations bill hearings for all eleven federal agencies, since that is their constitutional duty.

Unfortunately, they have not done that for the past fourteen years! So start there you nitwit.

It’s an audit.

Each day, just by their reaction, it becomes more incriminating…for the swamp.

Shine the light!!

No, it is NOT. Just putting up roadblocks until it is thrown out of court.

Its a department within the executive branch that was created by Obama. The name is just new. How is that unconstitutional?

What about Obama’s Czars?

Did anyone remember Van Jones going up to the Senate for confirmation? Jones was appointed by Obama as Special Advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality.

When Barack Obama created the U.S. Digital Service, he named Mikey Dickerson to be the Administrator of the U.S. Digital Service.

There was never a confirmation hearing or Senate vote for Dickerson to become the administrator of USDS.

Since the U.S. "DOGE" Service is the repurposed U.S. Digital Service, Elon Musk doesn't need to be confirmed either, since Dickerson didn't need to be confirmed under Obama.
