Listen "DOGE's access to SSA data pending the disposition"

Episode Synopsis

The Supreme Court's decision is a temporary stay, meaning the legal challenges against DOGE's access to SSA data are ongoing in lower courts. There are notable dissents from Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor, who expressed concerns about granting 'unfettered access' to personal, non-anonymized information before a full legal assessment. Additionally, I've learned that the Supreme Court also sided with DOGE in a separate case concerning Freedom of Information Act requests, raising broader concerns about the transparency of DOGE's operations.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/go-beyond-the-brief--6353252/support.
