By not agreeing with them? I swear people really do want a dictator

engelmayer is the dictator here over reaching his powers

Edit; people on social media are saying this is "unprecedented" in trying to stop the executive branch from doing what it has a constitutional right to do...

LAWFARE: In an egregious and unconstitutional assault on executive authority, Judge Paul Engelmayer has unilaterally forbidden all of Trump's political appointees—including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent—from accessing Treasury Department data. This ruling, concocted without legal precedent or constitutional justification, is nothing short of judicial sabotage. Worse, it was issued ex parte—meaning Trump administration lawyers weren’t given notice, weren’t allowed to argue, and weren’t even in the room. Only Democrat attorneys general were heard, ensuring a predetermined outcome.

Engelmayer’s order is legally indefensible. He cites no statutory basis because none exists. He offers no constitutional rationale because the Constitution directly contradicts him. Instead, he fabricates a fiction: that the duly appointed Treasury Secretary is nothing more than a ceremonial figurehead, akin to a powerless monarch, while unelected bureaucrats—who answer to no voters—control the nation’s finances. This is judicial tyranny masquerading as jurisprudence.

The implications are staggering. By stripping the executive branch of access to its own financial data, this ruling effectively transfers control of the federal purse to the permanent bureaucracy—the so-called “deep state.” That is a direct assault on the Constitution’s separation of powers, which vests executive authority in the elected President and his appointees, not in career government employees.

This is lawfare at its most brazen: a raw, partisan power grab dressed up in legalese. If allowed to stand, this decision sets the precedent that any left-wing judge can unilaterally strip the President of his authority and hand it to the administrative state. That is not democracy. It is not law. It is judicial dictatorship.

While the order is currently set to last only a week, no serious person believes this won’t be extended if the courts think they can get away with it. The Trump Administration should treat this for what it is—an unconstitutional usurpation—and consider defying it outright. No judge has the authority to cripple the executive branch and hand power to unelected bureaucrats.

Beyond that, the Supreme Court must intervene and overturn this blatant violation of constitutional governance. Judge Engelmayer should be barred from hearing any future cases related to executive authority, and every Democrat lawyer who enabled this attack on the Constitution should be sanctioned.

This is not a legal dispute—it is a coup by the judiciary against the elected government. And it cannot be allowed to stand.
==========================


The ruling, made without Trump’s lawyers present, effectively hands control of the Treasury’s finances to unelected bureaucrats. The judge cites no law for his decision, instead treating Bessent as a powerless figurehead.This unprecedented move could cripple the administration’s ability to oversee federal spending. If courts try to make it permanent, the Trump administration may need to defy it outright.

If DOGE's big change is essentially to make sure Treasury does a better job of filling in field codes and rationales when they make payments, it doesn't sound like they're actually accomplishing much of anything

I am good if they return to their regularly scheduled programming of destroying the Federal bureaucracy.

 

[NashVol11]

Yep, the judge has no authority over the Secretary and how he runs his department.

Lol, who told you that

Look, this ruling will be tossed by mid week.

It might get overturned but it won't be because the judge "ignored the branches of government"

 

[hog88]

Lol, who told you that

It might get overturned but it won't be because the judge "ignored the branches of government"

The constitution tells us that.

My goodness man, the judicial branch has no operational authority over the executive branch.

Your provocative ridiculousness is noted. Watching you guys melt down like this has been even better than I thought it would be. lmao

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

You absolutely can remove a Judge who is breaking the law and ignoring constitutional law.

 

[BeardedVol]

You think the FBI targeting concerned parents at school board meetings are the victims?

I think when you threaten school board members you open yourself up to your investigation.

 

[VOLS INC.]

The constitution tells us that.

My goodness man, the judicial branch has no operational authority over the executive branch.

And if we were educating and confirming actual judges instead of activist waving a gavel, we would be so much better off.

I think that never happened, rather they asked questions the school board didin't like. Your takes are becoming more and more obvious, kinda seeing a pattern here.

Some school board members need to be tarred and feathered.

My goodness man, the judicial branch has no operational authority over the executive branch.

The Constitution does not tell us that the Secretary can do whatever he wants because it's his department

Yikes.

I dunno this doesn't strike me as funny "HA HA", more like makes me wanna cry about the complete breakdown of our justice system. At least it's exposed I guess.

The Secretary was not violating any law so no the judge has zero authority on how he runs his department.

Also the constitution give the judiciary no operational authority over the executive branch. Separation of powers and all

It's a TRO against DOGE and the lawsuit suggests they are breaking the law, you can disagree with the ruling but saying it's unconstitutional is stupid

 

[hog88]

It's a TRO against DOGE and the lawsuit suggests they are breaking the law, you can disagree with the ruling but saying it's unconstitutional is stupid

The ruling applies to all appointees including the Secretary so yeah it’s blatantly unconstitutional

 

[NashVol11]

The ruling applies to all appointees including the Secretary so yeah it’s blatantly unconstitutional

Because the policy is alleged to violate several federal laws, that's not "unconstitutional" it's their job

 

[BeardedVol]

I think that never happened, rather they asked questions the school board didin't like. Your takes are becoming more and more obvious, kinda seeing a pattern here.

What you "think" happened, isn't reflected by reality.

 

[BeardedVol]

Some school board members need to be tarred and feathered.

Or you could just vote them out like a normal person.

You're letting stupid bias override any sense you have.

If the president, the elected, unitary executive of federal agencies who appoints agency leaders confirmed by the Senate, and those leaders cannot access records of the agency, then who can? No one? Or are you saying the president must limo to the agency and access the records himself?

Think before you answer.
