Story:
Judge Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee, denied a request for a restraining order on Tuesday in response to a motion filed by 14 Democrat state attorneys general after they sued to stop Trump and DOGE.

The Democrat attorneys general argued that Elon Musk is operating with unchecked power since he is not Senate-confirmed.

Blue states such as Arizona, Michigan, Rhode Island, New Mexico, California, Massachusetts, and others filed a lawsuit arguing President Trump violated the Appointments Clause of the Constitution when he created DOGE and gave Elon Musk ‘unchecked power.’

The attorneys general argued that since Elon Musk is not senate confirmed, he should be barred from issuing orders to anyone inside of the executive branch.

They argued that the Trump Admin’s creation of DOGE with Elon Musk at the helm violates the Appointments Clause of the Constitution.
