Scott Jennings Says Dems’ Attempt To Stop ‘Duly Elected Leaders’ From Running Country Is ‘Patently Ridiculous’

CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings said Wednesday that Democratic attorneys general attempting to block the nation’s duly elected leaders from effectively operating the federal government is “patently ridiculous.”

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled against blocking DOGE from seven federal agencies in response to a lawsuit brought by fourteen attorneys general, who alleged that President Donald Trump and Elon Musk are acting with “limitless and unchecked power” by conducting mass layoffs and limiting wasteful spending of taxpayers’ dollars. Jennings argued the Democrats’ attempts to have “partisan judges” stop Trump from being transparent about government spending is out of touch with the American people.

“It’s a good decision. It’s amazing to me that Donald Trump has to go to court to fight off attempts to keep the duly elected president and his appointees from having access to the federal government,” Jennings said. “I mean, this is, after all, the people that we elected to run the country and we have to go to court to fight to run the country? It sounds crazy and I think it was the only decision she could make because it’s patently ridiculous when Democratic attorneys general go to partisan judges, or any judges for that matter and try to stop the duly elected government from operating.”

“Number two, this effort is nothing more than an attempt to control the federal bureaucracy and restore some political oversight to the federal government,” Jennings continued. “That is all trying to do. So ultimately, I think people are happy with it and I think they’re finding some things that need to be uncovered. And the more they’re transparent about that and the more they put that information out for the American people, the more popular it’s going to be become.”
