The era when the rulings of federal judges were treated like God handing down the Ten Commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai are over. In the internet age, no one is above reproof.
All good points. Sunshine is an effective deterrent to judicial shenanigans. But social media also brings out the nutcases and loose cannons. We don't want some idiot trying to Luigi a judge. They're just doing their jobs.
Still, the audacity of a judge to say the executive doesn't have the authority to review the Treasury Department’s payment system. Seems likely that Democrats don't want sunshine on THEIR misbehavior. I'm hoping Trump's team publishes every federal employee's salary, as well as every retiree's monthly benefit payment. That's my money being spent. And yours. No more secrets. We need to stop thinking of the government as Big Daddy and start reminding each other that WE own the government.
The executive has absolute authority to look at your taxes and anything else it deems necessary in order to run, and now fix, the country. Who do you think hired the dang IRS agents who get to slap fines on you for making a mistake on your tax forms? The president is the boss and Musk and his team are Trump's authorized employees. Still, it would be good to see written contracts for Musk et al. While Republicans are touting how much better they are than Democrats, it's a great time to demand they operate with full transparency. Not holding my breath, as it's clear we have a duopoly. But it's certainly worth demanding.
