Excerpt:
The emergency and ex parte Temporary Restraining Order entered just after midnight Friday night (1 a.m. Saturday, reportedly) by the emergency duty judge in the Southern District of New York, without any opportunity for the government to be heard, has created what legitimately is a constitutional crisis. In addition to the gamesmanship by New York and other blue states of a Friday night filing where there was no legitimate emergency requiring a ruling that night, the Judge effectively decapitated the Treasury Department by forbidding any political appointee from having access to the Treasury payment system. The documents and analysis are in our post, Judge Issues Emergency Order Halting DOGE Access To Treasury Payment Systems.
It’s worse than I thought. In an Emergency Motion to Dissolve the TRO, filed early this morning, the Trump administration demonstrates not just the legal impropriety of the Judicial Branch removing political control from the Executive Branch, but also that there was no widespread access by political appointees. The Emergency Motion only addresses the removal of authority from political appointees, the underlying merits will be addressed in papers in opposition to the plaintiffs’ overall motion.
