There are at least six remedies that could potentially halt a hostile takeover of our federal government. These include:
1. Administrative Procedure Act (APA): Allows for judicial review of federal agency actions that are arbitrary or capricious, ensuring transparent rule making.
2. National Security Act: Protects classified information and can be invoked against unauthorized access to such information.
3. Privacy Act of 1974: Governs the protection of personal information by federal agencies and provides individuals with rights over their data.
4. Inspector General Act: Establishes independent oversight in federal agencies to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse—though it is worth noting that Trump has dismissed several inspectors general perhaps in anticipation of his questionable actions.
5. Whistleblower Protection Act: Safeguards federal employees who disclose violations or mismanagement within government agencies. Trump has threatened to fire any whistleblowers.
6. Ant deficiency Act: Prohibits federal agencies from overspending their appropriations and can be used to challenge unauthorized financial actions.
Collectively, these legal frameworks could prevent Trump and his entourage from undermining our country's democratic foundations and integrity. However, Trump now owns most of the necessary agencies. Our elected officials gave them to him. Let us hope we can still vote in the midterm!
