U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, I wonder how she will rule?

A U.S. judge has scheduled a rare holiday court hearing on Monday, in a case brought by Democratic state attorneys general seeking to protect major federal agencies from Elon Musk's government cost-cutting team known as DOGE.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan in Washington, D.C., on Sunday called the hearing for Monday, the Presidents Day holiday when federal courts are closed.
She did not say why she ordered the hearing, but on Friday she heard arguments by 13 Democratic state attorneys general for a temporary restraining order that would bar Musk's DOGE, or Department of Government Efficiency, team from accessing information systems at several government agencies including the departments of Labor, Education, Health and Human Services, Energy, Transportation, Commerce, and the Office of Personnel Management.
DOGE has swept through federal agencies since Republican Donald Trump became president last month and put Musk in charge of rooting out wasteful spending as part of Trump's dramatic overhaul of government, which included thousands of job cuts on Friday.
The attorneys general also asked the judge to prevent Musk and DOGE team members from firing government employees or putting them on leave.
The attorneys general have requested the order to last for 14 days, giving them time to file legal briefs in pursuit of a more permanent order.

You just know her staff would be pissed to work on a holiday if it wasn’t for the benefit of the Party.

She wanted is held on a holiday so it would be less obvious when her check from the DNC clears during regular business hours

Well, this dog-and-pony show will be totally scripted.
PS - But remember, folks. It's all just theatre, because they're all on the same side. LOL...(Or so I've been told by a couple of self-proclaimed geniuses).

What is the legal basis for the argument that the Executive cannot hire employees or appoint consultants to audit or examine data within the Executive Branch?
The spending cuts and employee firings at least have some legal argument to fight against them (federal unions, etc) , but the data access seems like a complete slam dunk separation of powers case.

Just hold the line, regardless of her decision.

Judge sounds skeptical of TRO at this time.

Why would they have any standing on this?
