Much has been made of how the Big Beautiful Blowjobs for Billionaires bill is the largest wealth transfer from the poor to the rich of all time. Which it is! But also in this 1,082-page treasure trove of goodies are two sections that fulfill the wildest dreams of a certain aspiring dictator and his technocrat henchbuddies: stripping power from the judiciary and mandating an AI dystopia that could effectively make government services cease to function, among other terrible things!

Let’s not snooze on those parts.

First, there’s the Take The Judiciary’s Power To Check The Government part, Section 70302, which is on page 562, if you care to follow along at home. This prohibits the judiciary from enforcing contempt citations against the regime unless a plaintiff posts some undefined amount as bond at the outset of the case.

But, and, ALSO, the new rule would be retroactive to the dawn of time. So not only would, say, families of oops-deported migrants have their lawsuits dropped and have to re-file them after putting up some amount of money for the privilege of asking the government to quit breaking its own laws, all of the cases where the government had ever been the defendant would be invalidated. School desegregation orders, for instance. Every case ever where the government was found in contempt would be dropped, then have to be re-filed and start its journey through the court system all over. It’s a complete bulldozer to the separation of powers. Which is the entire point, of course!

. . .

And there’s the AI part, which is section 43201, which starts on page 291. This sets aside $500 million to modernize federal systems “through the deployment of commercial artificial intelligence, the deployment of automation technologies, and the replacement of antiquated business systems in accordance with subsection (b).”

This would legitimize DOGE’s ongoing deployment of an AI chainsaw inside of government systems to delete whatever, currently the subject of a few dozen lawsuits, including two at the Supreme Court right now.

Assuming that “AI” isn’t just what DOGE plans to blame for its mistakes, reminder that AI is not some kind of omnipotent genie, just a powerful microchip that can do multiple functions at once. And AI systems have an insanely high error rate: Columbia Journalism Review found AI news search engines “cite incorrect news sources at an alarming 60% rate.” More often wrong than right!
