newrepublic.com Judge Who Made Life Hell for Trump Will Oversee Case on Elon Musk

A major lawsuit against Elon Musk just got assigned to his new nightmare: Judge Tanya Chutkan.

Summary

Judge Tanya Chutkan, who presided over Donald Trump’s election interference case, has been assigned a major lawsuit challenging Elon Musk’s authority in the federal government.

The suit, filed by 14 states, claims Musk wields unprecedented executive power, including control over federal funds and agencies.

Chutkan, a frequent Trump critic, previously imposed a gag order on him.

While Trump and Musk have yet to comment, right-wing figures are already attacking Chutkan, signaling an upcoming political and legal battle over executive power.

While seeing Judge Tanya Chutkan get this case could be a good sign. Her ruling, if negative to Trump, will probably see the end of her career. The more interesting thing will be if this gets appealed to the Supreme Court. Their ruling will determine how much power the courts have going forward to actually rein in presdients.
- She's has a lifetime appointment.
  
  The president can order her to be assassinated and pardon whoever does it per SCOTUS.
  
  This is what I’m saying man. We should resist, but it cannot be just one person, it has to be many so that Trump cannot get rid of all of us at once.
  
  This. We have to stand together and resist this blatant illegal overreach by an unelected bureaucrat
  
  I want to see fear in that man's eyes.
  
  I forgot that picture. I dunno how when it's pretty much my entire mood lately.
  
  That photo is beautiful
  
  Oh man, whoever’s shielding him has some tight pants on. I wouldn’t mind seeing more of them
  
  You don't see it in every single photo that exists of him? Because fear is literally what drives him.
  
  Oh I see nothing behind those eyes most of the time
  
  And McDonald’s is his fuel
