Judge Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee, denied a request for a restraining order on Tuesday in response to a motion filed by 14 Democrat state attorneys general after they sued to stop Trump and DOGE.
The Democrat attorneys general argued that Elon Musk is operating with unchecked power since he is not Senate-confirmed.
Blue states such as Arizona, Michigan, Rhode Island, New Mexico, California, Massachusetts, and others filed a lawsuit arguing President Trump violated the Appointments Clause of the Constitution when he created DOGE and gave Elon Musk ‘unchecked power.’
The attorneys general argued that since Elon Musk is not senate confirmed, he should be barred from issuing orders to anyone inside of the executive branch.
..... Snip.....
On Tuesday, Judge Chutkan denied the request for a TRO.
“Based on the parties’ briefing, oral argument, and the current record, the court finds that Plaintiffs have not carried their burden of showing that they will suffer imminent, irreparable harm absent a temporary restraining order, and therefore Plaintiffs’ motion is DENIED,” Chutkan wrote.

The writing is on the wall and she doesn’t want to be found wanting.
When does DOGE put up a tip line for federal government employees that can report on financial impropriety they know about? Get it overwith quicker.
These people are insane. A restraining order? Beyond absurd, but I suppose if you’re about to get exposed for fraud, theft and racketeering you do whatever outlandish stuff to avoid indictment.
It is already up.
Yep! But why? Davis warned them all! Lawyer up!
As the DOGE goes on a rampage, the Mad Maxine HYENAs will be out howling at the moon and doing the Bettlejuice Conga in the streets. Day-OOOOOOO!
Is this a Democrat official with integrity? Or is something else going on? If so, what?
“The writing is on the wall and she doesn’t want to be found wanting.”
She knew she'd be reversed in another court if she ruled otherwise.
Someone correct me if they have a better analysis.
I’m really tickled a Jamaican judge told Kati Hoggs in Arizona to shove it.
I think judges have found that the things they would rather hide from discovery don’t need to draw inspection. Stick to law and process and things go much smoother for all.
Is she the only judge in Washington or wherever she is?? Why is she constantly on these caes?
If I’m understanding this correctly, the case itself hasn’t been dismissed, just the TRO. Glad to hear the TRO was dismissed but, based on this judges history, I won’t be shocked if she eventually rules in favor of the plaintiffs.
Praise God.
Even Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan have voted well on the Supreme level at times…
Once in a blue moon, even Justice Sotomayor gets it right so…⚖️
Remembering Obama’s Czars.
Van Jones was Obama’s Special Advisor for Green Jobs.
Obama had 45 Czars.
The term “czar” is unofficial — something that is more often used by the media than by the government itself. It’s a title that the media likes to use to shorthand someone’s real position.
The Constitution allows the president alone to appoint “inferior officers” — advisers and directors often working in the White House who are not vetted or confirmed by the Senate. “Czars” often fall into this category.
Since at least President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s terms, each president has created new positions for various policy issues.
THEY have announced website tip places-—for anyone & everyone.
14 Democrat state attorneys general just wasted and abused more taxpayer dollars on a Don Quixote legal filing.
