> ***A federal judge in Washington ruled Saturday that Kari Lake has unlawfully served as chief executive of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which oversees Voice of America, and nullified many actions she has taken in the role, including mass layoffs of staff.***

>***U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth, in a 17-page opinion, granted summary judgment to a group of employees, led by Voice of America’s White House bureau chief Patsy Widakuswara, who sued Lake last year. Lamberth found that Lake, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, violated the Constitution’s appointments clause and the Federal Vacancies Reform Act by helming the agency.***

>***“The Court finds that these expansive delegations were an unlawful effort to transform Lake into the CEO of U.S. Agency for Global Media in all but name,” Lamberth wrote***

i totally forgot she existed until now

At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if I woke up to a headline saying she’s been appointed as the CEO of gravity.

Of course

>Judge rules barn doors *must* be closed after unlawful release of horses.

I get that these kinds of wins are important. It’s just that they feel so futile when the actual goal of dismantling these organizations is met because of our slow legal system and erosion of universal injunctions.

She was considered too much of a nutjob for a real cabinet position. Let that sink in.

Please don’t send her back to us in AZ.

Sadly this is what Americans voted for.
