Obama appointed judge Tanya Chutkan, who was just overseeing the prosecution of President Trump last year, refused yesterday to issue any restraining order (TRO) on DOGE, allowing them to continue their work.

But of the 14 state attorneys general who brought the case, Chutkan said:

“Plaintiffs have not carried their burden of showing that they will suffer imminent, irreparable harm absent a temporary restraining order, and therefore Plaintiffs’ motion is DENIED.”

Boom! Here’s the news:

 
Jonathan Turley weighed in on this, pointing out that the judge doesn’t really approve of DOGE – which I think tells us just how bad the case was against DOGE that she didn’t issue this TRO:

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has rejected the demand for a temporary restraining order against Doge. She, however, added this point: “Plaintiffs legitimately call into question what appears to be the unchecked authority of an unelected individual and an entity that was not created by Congress and over which it has no oversight.”…

…Of course, that ignores the elected authority in the body of the President, who often acts through “unelected” federal officials. The reluctance of Judge Chutkan is palpable and obvious, but so is the authority of the President to delegate authority to federal employees.
