The justices took up an appeal by the Trump administration seeking to prevent the disclosure of information about the inner workings of the agency used to downsize government.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday took up the Trump administration’s bid to prevent a watchdog group from seeking information about the DOGE, which played a key role in firing thousands of federal workers and canceling government funding.
The court agreed to hear a Justice Department appeal that sought to prevent Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington from obtaining records under the Freedom of Information Act. A ruling is due by the end of June.
The Trump administration has argued that DOGE, spearheaded by former administration adviser Elon Musk, was not subject to what are known as FOIA requests.
DOGE, which played a key role in dismantling the U.S. Agency for International Development, was a controversial feature of Trump’s early months in office, triggering various lawsuits. Its operations have since dwindled.
If it wasn’t a government agency, then what was it doing going into actual government agencies and stealing their information and firing people?
If it wasn’t a government agency, then they were literally pirates, and all of them should be rounded up and imprisoned. Those responsible for the end of USAID, which has directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people so far, are mass murderers, and should be executed.
We are in that monte python sketch(es) where they are sailing their big building and raiding the buildings of productive companies like pirates.
