Alan Charles Raul on why DOGE isn't constitutional:
1) Congress never authorized it. Under WV v. EPA (2022) stretching powers on "major questions" requires Congress's say-so.
2) The Appointments Clause says only a Senate-confirmed person may act as a principal officer of the USG, as Musk is doing.

The ultimate power of any court is in its coercive orders - and a machinery to readily enforce those orders.
But once those coercive orders are defied without sanction, there is nothing left.
That’s it: game over.
