#Trump, aided by the most right wing #SCOTUS in living memory, is erasing the US Constitution's separation of powers between the 3 branches of government. The Constitution is a risk of becoming dead letter. https://thehill.com/opinion/5316753-measuring-the-damage-of-trumps-assault-on-the-separation-of-powers/
@maeve No, this article gets a lot of things exactly backwards.
Yes, DOGE has been funded by Congress for quite a while. The article is mistaken.
And while GAO might be a legislative branch organization, the others aren't, so it is emphasizing separation of powers, not erasing them, for this administration to be reclaiming agency (pun intended) over executive branch functions.
This is how separation of powers works, when we've had too many generations that have threatened that separation of powers. We're finally getting back to solidifying the constitutional order, reversing the trend through which it would be a dead letter.
So it's the exact opposite.
