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.”

He obviously does not know the history of how D.O.G.E. came about. It actually steps in the shoes of a program started by Obama.
Objection; it’s irrelevant, immemorial and a bare-faced lie.
Irrelevant? We don’t got no pachyderms here.
Sorry, it’s Obama’s committee, so no appointment necessary
Shaddup fish breath!
So the President isn’t really the President and the Federal bureaucracy runs itself in perpetuity.
Well the US Digital service has been an agency of govt for some time and nobody questioned it until Trump renamed it DOGE. Now suddenly its unconstitutional. 🙄
Hey Nessie: Try Johnson vs Mississippi from 1867.It said a court cannot interfered judicially when a PRESIDENT is doing his ascribed duties. And as the CEO OF THE GOVERNMENT which is exactly what any PRESIDENT IS he can do it. The 1867 court said any attempt to stop what he is doing cannot be justified legally. IN otherwards NESSIE. Butt out! you bloviated nimrod
lex
a judicial attempt to interfere with the performance of such duties would be “an absurd and excessive extravagance.” The Court noted that if the President chose to ignore the injunction, the judiciary would be unable to enforce the order.from that 1867 case which has not been overturned!lex
DOGE has zero executive authority.
DOGE does research and advises people who do have executive authority.
F*CK EVERYTHING about that State Up North!!!
GO BUCKS!!!!
Heh.......cute.

You guys are making my stomach hurt from laughing so much! ;-)
They will get what they are asking for, at least temporarily.
Democrats would love to see Trump lose his cool and defy the order.
I don’t think he will.
Trump needs to have a conversation with John Roberts and convince him to put an end to this absurdity.
Anytime a Democrat, like the Nessie monster, asserts that Trump is doing something illegal we should respond “without proof”. It was their favorite phrase to describe Trump’s 2020 election challenges.
What a typical LIB DIM nitwit. His “god” obama started this government office. obama could do no wrong! it has just been repurposed through some “adjustments”.
President’s have had “shadow” cabinets since the beginning.
THE DEMS JUST HAVE LOUD MOUTHS
THEY DO NOT HAVE SMART BRAINS
