A federal judge on Friday denied a request to block the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) staff from accessing sensitive data from the Treasury Department.

The Alliance for Retired Americans and several employee unions sued the federal government over the staff's access to the data from the Fiscal Service.

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly rejected the lawsuit, stating that the plaintiffs failed to show how they would face irreparable harm if the DOGE staff gained access.

How about the very simple fact that the courts have no constitutional power to prevent the President granting access to federal records.

Control of the Executive Branch of the federal government is the sole purview of the Chief Executive of the Federal Government.

Yes, the President, Donald John Trump.

As Obama so inelegantly put it: Elections have consequences.

If DJ Trump wants certain individuals to audit the IRS the courts have no jurisdiction to say no.

It is called separation of powers.

So does this overrule the judge who locked DOGE out of the Treasury? The court cases seem to be overlapping.

Trump should put out an executive order cutting the pay of federal judges not on the Supreme Court that presume to issue nationwide restraining orders.

Never mind that the constitution specifically prohibits the pay cut. The judges are not staying in their lane and turnabout is fair play.
