June 6 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court extended on Friday its block on judicial orders requiring the Department of Government Efficiency to turn over records to a government watchdog group that sought details on the entity established by President Donald Trump and previously spearheaded by his billionaire former adviser Elon Musk.

The court put on hold Washington-based U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper's orders for DOGE to respond to requests by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington for information about its operations. The judge concluded that DOGE likely is a government agency covered by the federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

The brief, unsigned order said that portions of one of the judge's decisions "are not appropriately tailored" and that "separation of powers concerns counsel judicial deference and restraint in the context of discovery regarding internal Executive Branch communications." The court sent the case back to a lower appeals court to narrow the judge's directives.

The court's three liberal justices - Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson - dissented from Friday's decision.

1. We can't see DOGE's records, even though we paid for them. But DOGE can see our SS and Medicare records.

More topsy-turvy bullshit, all designed to make the boy-king smile.

9. Exactly!

And they dropped these two "decisions" late on Friday afternoon.

IMO six of the justices are actively betraying the American citizenry AND the rule of law.

11. Yet they should be charged with treason or sedition, whichever works.

5. The paid-for RW bench clown patrol know full well that what they engaged in was unconstitutional and illegal

The a-holes will go to any length to cover for the fat felon. I think they're hoping jeesus makes an 11th hour appearance so they can all be "saved". Praise the lawd.

6. Bottom line is

that the Reich Wing of the USC is saying that DOGE can have every scintilla of information about us but we can't see anything about them.

7. Oh I see ... their records are blocked from public scrutiny, but ours aren't

"Supreme Court lets DOGE access sensitive Social Security Administration information"

[yellow dahlia]

12. Right! And our information is protected by law and statutes.

Meanwhile FOIA dictates that we should have access to what they are doing.

How do you make a jumping up and down apoplectic emoji/classic smilie?

[FakeNoose]

13. This smilie works for me

And this one

10. Worst Supreme Court ever!

We can't see what the DOGE criminals are up to but they can see our sensitive data.
