Justice Department suggests US agencies are free to disregard judge's order in law firm dispute

[Ocelot II]

5. Yes, federal judges are not elected. That's because of, um, the Constitution.

Maybe this airheaded corrupt Trump crony might want to read it sometime. And, speaking of the Constitution, how does depriving a law firm of its right to lawfully do business protect the so-called First Amendment rights of the executive branch of the government? Does the government even have First Amendment rights? SCOTUS has held that the government can say whatever it wants, but if so, the First Amendment free speech clause doesn't apply at all because it only restricts government regulation of private speech; it does not regulate government speech. The government can speak for itself.
