A federal Judge in New York has halted the White House and US Agency for Global Media (USAGM) advisor Kari Lake’s efforts to deliver government efficiency to the leftwing agency that oversees the government’s international broadcaster, Voice of America.
Obama appointee James Paul Oetken was the first openly gay man to be confirmed as a federal judge in 2011.
Earlier this week, he dismissed racketeering allegations in a $30 million sexual assault lawsuit against rapper P. Diddy involving allegations of sexual assault, harassment, and sex trafficking.
On Friday, he granted a temporary restraining order, enjoining them from implementing the President’s March 14 executive order, titled “Continuing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy.”
This comes after a lawsuit by from six leftist VOA reporters backed by Reporters Without Borders and several labor unions, who alleged First Amendment violations over attempts to dismantle the broadcasting agency by firing current staff members.
Does it make any sense that a single district court judge, one out of 677 across the nation, can dictate the President’s policy or the executive branch’s HR department based on his own radical views?
Will the judge go through the job applications and interview the candidates? Will he also do the firing and disciplinary actions?
Kari Lake responded to the order, telling The Gateway Pundit, “As we try to effectuate President Trump’s executive order involving our agency, the US Agency for Global Media, Judges in the DC District Court and the District Court of NY are saying they get to run the Executive Branch.”
“This is the true ‘threat to Democracy’ we have been hearing so much about,” she added.
