You may have misinterpreted my blog. I didn't imply or say that having an outside adviser team is illegal. Roosevelt (Franklin) had the Brain Trust to help him figure out how to get out of the Great Depression. Kennedy had his own Brain Trust to help him bring about the changes he was interested in effecting. DOGE is not illegal. Having Musk as an adviser is not illegal. HOWEVER: Whatever DOGE does must be legal. DOGE in exercising its powers must follow the law. There are laws about what Congress may do. There are laws about what the executive (under president's authority) may do. There are laws about privacy. There are Civil Service laws. DOGE (Musk) cannot simply traipse in without regard to law. It is the obligation of the courts to decide whether the actions of DOGE are legal. That is, courts must decide if the actions are in accordance with the law.
Please understand the thrust of my blog. There is no person, no agency, no entity of any kind that has authority to violate the Constitution.
You many like the changes you see. You may applaud the changes Musk is making. That is your prerogative. Neither you, nor Musk, nor Trump have the right to violate the Constitution.
Three branches. The Congress passes the laws. The executive may not break those laws in advancing its agenda. How do we know if the president or his agents have broken laws? You and I certainly don't know. Only the courts know. The third branch of government determines whether or not the executive, or its agents have broken the law. As a matter of fact, the courts decide whether any of us have broken the law.
You may think rigid adherence to the Constitution is obstructionist and petty. I believe, and our Founders believed, that only the Constitution protects us from one-man rule--tyranny.
That is what my blog is about. The courts are not perfect. They are the final arbiters, however. It is all we've got. Good courts. Bad courts. Left-leaning judges. Right-leaning judges.
If we don't like a law, then we have to ask our representatives in Congress to pass another.
The president does not make laws, or cancel laws. He must obey them, and the same is true for everyone who works for him.
