Summary
The Democratic National Committee and two other party committees have sued Trump over Executive Order 14215, which claims authority to seize control of the Federal Elections Commission.
The lawsuit argues this violates federal law and threatens free elections.
The order also claims power over other agencies including the SEC, FTC, and NLRB.
Democrats contend this executive overreach contradicts constitutional principles and a century of Supreme Court precedent upholding Congress’s authority to insulate certain agencies from presidential control.
And when they do, I’ll applaud for them as loudly as anyone else.
Until then, as they say, it’s vaporware.
There is no need for judges to target anyone yet, because the Trump admin hasn’t been found in contempt.
