Obama judge refuses to block DOGE from firing deep-staters, disappointing blue-state AGs

Democratic attorneys general from 14 states filed a lawsuit last week seeking to immediately bar the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency from firing or furloughing deep-staters, canceling government contracts, accessing sensitive agency data, and “taking steps to dismantle agencies.”

The blue-state AGs, who accused President Donald Trump of violating the Constitution’s Appointments Clause, made their bid in a sympathetic court to a sympathetic judge — Judge Tanya S. Chutkan, a leftist Obama appointee who presided over Trump’s election obstruction case, handed down sentences to Jan. 6 protesters far in excess of prosecutors’ requests, and vigorously fought the first Trump administration.
