Summary
A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order blocking the Education Department and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) from sharing sensitive records with DOGE.
The lawsuit, filed by labor unions and veterans, alleges DOGE seeks to fire workers and cut federal programs while violating the Privacy Act of 1974.
Judge Deborah Boardman ruled the plaintiffs are likely to succeed and face “irreparable harm” if DOGE gains access.
This follows other legal challenges against DOGE’s efforts to access federal data.
Federal judges can only be removed via impeachment.
Now, what happens if the executive decides not to pay judges? It’s supposed to be impeachment.
So Trump could decide to simply stop the paychecks but not the rulings.
He who saves the country can break no laws… He just seems to do whatever the hell he wants at this point.
