I think most Americans are familiar with the Constitution….that document that established this country’s laws by which we are all so proud.

Then along came Elmo and his band of mini thugs in DOGE….somewhere along the way to his ascension the Constitution became a thing to destroy….

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency is moving fast and breaking the law — lots of laws.

The scope of Trump and Musk’s sweeping effort to purge the federal workforce and slash government spending has shocked the political world — in part for its ambition, but also in part because of its disregard for the law.

David Super, an administrative law professor at Georgetown Law School, recently told the Washington Post that so many of Musk’s moves were “so wildly illegal” that he seemed to be “playing a quantity game, and assuming the system can’t react to all this illegality at once.”

I reached out to Super so he could walk through this quantity game — so he could take me on a tour of all of the apparent lawbreaking in Musk’s effort so far. A transcript of our conversation, condensed and edited for clarity, follows.

Some have strong opinions on the Constitutional aspect of DOGE and what it is attempting….

Some warn that a constitutional crisis is under way, as Mr. Musk and his DOGE team ride roughshod over various statutes governing how the executive branch operates, such as the 1974 Impoundment Control Act, as well as protections for career civil servants. Mr. Trump’s advisers view some of these laws as unconstitutional constraints on the executive, setting up a fight in the courts. 

“This vision of executive power is extremely dangerous,” says Richard Painter, the chief White House ethics lawyer under former President George W. Bush.

My thought is while this group is suppose to save the government money it will be much less so in the near future and this smells of retaliation disguised as cost cutting….an attempt to keep his majesty in the seat of power for as long as possible.

Elmo is nothing more than a tool Trump needs to strip all protections from the way government does things….and the people will pay the hefty price for all this silliness.
