  1. He has authorization, show me in the law, where authorized people are not allowed access to information that they've be cleared to access.

  2. In this particular case, you're lying. A judges role is to interpret the constitution. We have separation of powers, so far, the judges injecting themselves into the administration of the executive branch violates the separation of powers. Congress and the judges can not interfere with how the president manages the executive branch, on the other side of the coin, the president can't interfere with Congresses and the Judiciaries domain. May I refer you to Article II of the US Constitution on the presidents' authority over the executive branch

  10. @ O'Connor v. Ortega, 480 U.S. 709 (1987) SCOTUS ruling. The president running an audit would be covered under Article II, Section I of the US Constitution.

  15. @ How does an audit of federal agencies by the executive branch constitute a violation of the APA? The APA doesn't cover an executive doing an internal audit of executive branch agencies. The TRO has many problems and will be reversed. What specific law is the right to privacy? While the 4th Amendment protects property from unreasonable search and seizure, 4th Amendment protections do not apply to government workplaces with government agents. Elon is a government agent acting on behalf of the US Government.

  17.  @alw06git  Yes congress is the only organization that can delete a department, but the president can zero out it's staff and pause funding. It's in his Article 2, Section 1 powers in the Constitution.

  18. It is more an advisory body to the president. There is no constitutional crisis, because they are considered presidential staff. The president is the ultimate declassification authority, so he can allow those people access to any executive department and their records. Since they are staff, they don't need congresses approval. It is just the executive branch of government administering the executive branch of government.

  19.  @kimforte6557  Arrests? for what?

  20. @ Where did you come up with that? I know where, you pulled it outta your a$$. Article 1 of the constitution sets out the powers of congress, Article 2 the powers of the president, Article 3 the courts. The president is being more aggressive than prior presidents in asserting his Article 2 powers.

  21.  @myngaf1172  Testing the limits of Article II is not fascism, claiming it is, is idiotic. We've had Presidents test the limits of their constitutional powers and nobody ever accused them of fascism.

  23. @ The Court reasoned that the expectation of privacy for employees in the workplace is context-dependent and must be determined on a case-by-case basis. While the workplace may not afford the same level of privacy as one's home, employees do not forfeit all Fourth Amendment rights merely because they are in an employment setting. The Court established that searches by employers should be judged by a standard of reasonableness, considering both the inception of the search and its scope. This standard balances the employee's privacy interests against the government employer's interest in the efficient and proper operation of the workplace.

  28.  @robertdorbritz3320  Where is the SCOTUS precedent for that? Myers v. United States, 272 U.S. 52 (1926) is what I'm using. It reaffirms the executive branches authority of the president to run the executive branch as he sees fit. The Justice Department is an agency of the executive branch, who leads the executive branch, oh yes Trump.

  30. Read up on Article II of the Constitution, the president is exercising his control of the executive branch of government. We have a separation of powers, so the vice president is correct. The judge is overstepping his bounds by injecting himself into a domain that is in the executive branch

  31.  @lisamcdonnell8971  Train v. City of New York (1975) didn't specifically address this particular issue. The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 itself hasn't been challenged in court yet, the President believes it to be unconstitutional, as do I. In any case it is on track to be reviewed by SCOTUS, we will wait and see how they decide this.
