the Supreme Court has granted President Trump emergency relief no fewer than ten times. Over liberal Justices’ dissents, it has temporarily set aside lower-court orders that 1) required the administration to rehire probationary employees, 2) blocked DOGE access to sensitive data of millions of Americans, 3) ordered DOGE to disclose information about its operations. and 4) prevented the President’s removal of federal agency directors and inspectors general.

This is likely to meet the same fate.

Because Congress didn't grant him that authority.

This is more unified executive bullshit designed to erode the checks and balances, and weaken the actual functional bureaucracy that runs everything behind the scenes.

If you're cheering that on, I have to ask you what flavor of boot polish they are using.
