"Granted, these are temporary injunctions... But if the way the arguments unfolded Thursday is any indication... the administration has a long way to go in making arguments the #court will find credible."

A Few Legal Updates and Summaries
1. A Brief Primer on Litigation Involving Elon Musk

I haven’t written much about Elon Musk, who has been the subject of a lot of recent litigation—much of it overlapping, some of it, in the opinions of district courts, a little premature. I think a lot of us have followed the legal twists and turns in too much detail, and a lot of us in too little. I thought it might be helpful to briefly sketch out and summarize the current legal landscape in thumbnail form for everyone. It’s labyrinthine, but it can be simplified quite a bit for purposes of taking stock of what’s happened and what’s on the horizon.

There are three main kinds of claims directly concerning Musk among the 60+ lawsuits against the administration. Many have been brought by consortiums of Democratic state attorneys general, which in itself may raise a legal issue of standing. The lawsuits allege violations of:

1. The Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), on the grounds that advisory committees must have open and accessible meetings and a balanced representation of viewpoints.

2. Potential violations of restrictions on disseminating sensitive information, especially under the Privacy Act, based on DOGE’s access to all manner of citizens’ private data.

3. Violations of the Appointments Clause in Article II, based on a functional analysis of Musk’s broad power and authority.


The 50-Year-Old Law That Could Stop DOGE in Its Tracks—Maybe

At least 8 ongoing #lawsuits related to the so-called Department of Govt Efficiency’s alleged access to sensitive data hinge on the Watergate-inspired Privacy Act of 1974. But it’s not airtight.

"What Is the Privacy Act?

The Privacy Act is a #law that limits how the federal #government can collect, use, and share #information about #US citizens & other people in the #UnitedStates."

Heartbreak for CBS News


My disgust & anger towards my own country know no bounds…

“A majority of those cases between Oct & Dec resulted in those people being evacuated & I am sure that these #lawsuits had a role to play in that, because it puts pressure on the #government to have to defend its position — & it’s much easier to #evacuate them than to defend this #discriminatory position.”

I love what you find out in #lawsuits. A few nice examples:

1. Fox News claimed they are only doing "entertainment".

2. Lindt chocolate folks claim "excellence" is really just "puffery".

3. The Democratic National Committee is legally a private company called "DNC Services Corporation" (as of 2016), which means not bound by Free Speech provisions.

Feel free to add other fun examples in replies, and happy Friday, 🙂.
