A top legal expert slammed efforts to block Elon Musk’s government team from cleaning up federal waste. Jonathan Turley called attempts to stop Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency “delusional” as courts weigh limits on its power. The fiery comments come after mixed rulings about DOGE’s access to sensitive records.
DOGE was created by President Trump to slash bloated budgets and fire unnecessary workers. Supporters say it’s finally making government accountable. But liberal groups rushed to sue, claiming Musk could misuse private data about citizens and workers.
This week brought both wins and losses for DOGE in court. A judge said they could keep accessing Labor Department files but blocked Treasury system access. Turley argued judges are overstepping by second-guessing Trump’s authority to manage federal operations.
“There’s no constitutional problem here,” Turley said about worker buyouts approved by DOGE. He called claims about Musk stealing identities “ridiculous,” stressing teams only review spending records legally. Critics fear mass layoffs and privacy breaches without proof.
Democrat-led states demanded emergency orders against DOGE’s “unchecked power.” One judge questioned letting a private citizen influence agencies but admitted no real harm occurred yet. Another called DOGE a “Goldilocks” setup that follows rules when convenient.
Conservatives cheer DOGE for exposing $4.7 trillion in mystery payments at Treasury – your tax dollars vanishing untracked! They say swamp creatures panic when sunlight hits their shady deals. Trump vows to keep draining the swamp despite activist judges.
Turley predicts brutal court fights but believes Trump will prevail legally. He mocked Democrats for trusting bureaucrats over business experts fixing waste. Every delay helps lazy workers and crooked contractors keep milking taxpayers dry.
The battle shows Washington’s establishment fears real change. While elites protect their gravy train, Trump’s team keeps fighting for citizens sick of runaway spending. DOGE’s mission proves elections matter – finally someone’s making government work for We the People!
