This has been going on in these cases for WEEKS and I feel like it’s time to rule, as a matter of law, that an unnamed administrator violates the appointments clause.
NEW: During a 3-hour preliminary injunction hearing in a suit alleging that Elon Musk wields unprecedented power in violation of the Appointments Clause, a federal judge grew frustrated with government counsel's inability to answer questions about DOGE’s chain of command and Musk's role.
![JUDGE: Who was the head of DOGE before Amy Gleason?
GOVERNMENT COUNSEL: I can’t answer that, I don’t know.
JUDGE: I mean, that seems like a knowable fact, doesn’t it?
GOVERNMENT COUNSEL: I’m sure it is knowable; I just don’t know it. I’m very conscious of being accurate with the court…I just can’t make a representation.
JUDGE: Have you asked anyone?
GOVERNMENT COUNSEL: I have not asked…actually, strike that. I have asked previously, and I was not able to get answer.
JUDGE: Are you saying there was an administrator before Ms. Gleason? Or that there was nobody until this new person [Gleason] was put in?
GOVERNMENT COUNSEL: I’m not saying either, because I don’t know.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:t4x2ruk2qmob2b2cx55h4v7r/bafkreic3k7xhk3l2hgbwbfnwv7exmw3hq2buhout5qjxgt2iyuelzvuzv4@jpeg)
