As I was saying previously, all these assholes ate going to understand is when their compadres start taking lead to the cranium. Lawsuits are farts in the wind. Prove me wrong.
Do the unions represent employees at the Labor Department, or are they unions at large? Because if they don’t represent employees, there is no standing.
This entire administration is like "there's no rule that a dog *can't* play basketball, except there absolutely are laws preventing all of this madness from happening.
I’m no lawyer but isn’t DOL the custodian of their data and legally obligated to protect it from those who haven’t been vetted? I had to have a background check to see a sliver of that data for my job
The people need to organize and be in the streets now. Nothing else will stop these insane clowns. They are unhinged and will never be restrained by the courts or laws. No one is coming to save us but us. They are absolutely running lawless so we have to stiffen our spines and march en masse
What we are seeing is the digital equivalent of the burning of the Reichstag. Trump intends to create mass chaos & then declare martial law. He's a stupid sociopath & must rely on what has worked well in the past. In this case, that means reading from Hitler's script. I wish this were hyperbole.
Remember back in the days when there was a hack to private personal data and the government gave free credit monitoring for identity theft? Are we gonna get that because Musk stole our personal private data? I got that before for a few years.
The courts are no longer a refuge or saving grace. The USSC guaranteed this outcome when they chose ideology (immunity) over the Constitution and the rule of law. Anyone paying attention with a modicum of imagination should not be surprised.
George Washington believed the judiciary should serve as the "keystone" of the American government by ensuring the proper administration of justice by upholding the Constitution; Apparently, Judge Bates is familiar with our 1st president & our 47th president is not.
So another judge blocks them again. Okay the Trumpy long game. Out last them.
Can individuals sue? It’s their information ? Or call the fraud squad and report stolen data. Create chaos.
Perhaps they didn’t demonstrate to the judge that they had standing for that particular case (not a lawyer; didn’t read the court docs).

I'm guessing they didn't meet the requirement that they "suffered a distinct and palpable injury as a result of the putatively illegal conduct of the defendant."
How do people who work at DOL not have standing? How to some fucking incel fascists with no government ID, who don’t work the government and have no clearance have any standing? Please explain it to me like I have a brain tumor as I am thinking I may as my head is pounding
Federal civil procedure is extreme complicated and nuanced and what everyone is missing is that, generally speaking, given the amount of TROs already granted, it’s okay for some to not be because that’s how the legal system works. My brain tumor grows by the day, however.
US is over. Russia finally getting what it always wanted. They’re dismantling everything and will take all of the money and bolt. lol secrets and codes will be handed over. Good job morons.
Pretty sad. It’s been hypothetical up to this point but now that we “45/47”-hat-in-hand seem to have given over our over rights as a country to a self-pronounced “on day one dictator”, seems we are about to find out just how valuable democracy is and if we miss it #thissucks
The opening statement still applies.... I think. They would have to commit a "capital crime". That paragraph is saying "we don't care if you're a citizen or not, we'll still kill you for capital crimes." The danger here is.... what defines a capital crime?
Keep in mind that I didn't write this thing so I don't know for sure, and the way it's worded, it could easily be twisted to make me wrong. That's likely by design.
Disappointing, I did a quick scroll through his Google results and he stood up to Trump on a couple things during his last presidency. Wonder what changed
If you click through to the full ruling, you'll see the Judge's criteria for making that determination. The ruling includes some possible paths to establishing standing (in short: find a specific plaintiff, or establish that the union will use resources to counteract the harm caused by DOGE)
A union can have standing - that's the second method. They have to show a potential injury, which is to say, they have to show that they would have spent resources on rectifying whatever harm was caused by information disclosure. They provided nothing in this direction so far.

• No individual or group of individuals has standing to sue the Administration, no matter what.
and even if they did, and won
• No one outside the Administration could enforce a judge's order.
Do you see the problem here? This is de facto totalitarianism.
Dear America…
I hope with all my ❤️ that somehow you will recover from this insanity.
