>Maybe, but that doesn't seem practical, outside of having some large oversight body employing many people to review this... which is just what DOGE purportedly is.

The oversight body is Congress. They hold hearings, call on experts, issue subpoenas, and represent the will of the people. Plus, because Congress defines the agencies and apportion budgets for specific projects in those agencies, they're the perfect group to do oversight.

DOGE could abide by the Constitution if it had simply conducted audits, compiled findings with suggestions, and presenting those at a Congressional hearing. They should not interfere with agencies carrying out legally required duties.

It's insane how these days the "crazy leftist" point of view is that we should stick to Article I of the Constitution. We have peaceful transitions of power because the losing side knows there are still rules the winners can't break. If either side makes Constitutional crises their go-to tool, there are only two awful end-states: entrenched tyranny or violent revolution. Maybe both.
