What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

There's alwys cause for concern when you allow Ken Cuccinelli to touch anything.  He was Virginia's Attorney General and engaged in any number of boneheaded legal cases at taxpayer expense, which he then lost.  I wouldn't trust him to scoop up dog shit without fucking it up.

The government shouldn't be making contracts with labor unions in the first place. 

But, that aside, if the contract really did have that far-reaching an impact, it would be worthwhile for the Biden administration to either affirmatively challenge it in court, or unilaterally rip up the contract and invite a court challenge.

I have obviously no idea about the US, but over here such a contract would be effectively unconstitutional (government and parliament can't bargain away their prerrogatives outside of laws).

Didn't the article say the head of DHS can squash it within 30 days?  End of story.

Not exactly because the Local can appeal the withdrawal.  No clue what the standard of review is on that.

Interestingly, Cuccinelli apparently had no authority to sign the contract anyway.  He'd never been legally appointed, as the courts confirmed.

Yeah, that alone will kill this in the courts.

Maybe . . .
In normal contract and agency law, an agent with apparent authority can bind a principal even if he lacks actual authority, if the counterparty relies on the apparent authority
No idea how that plays out in this context.

So, I'm aware that I'm probably late to this but I just read about that crazy GOP woman and the Jewish Death Star.

Plus McCarthy says she's just fine and her gop colleagues gave her a standing ovation.

Get with it cel. Next you're gonna tell us that a member of Congress calling for the murder of Democrats is big news.
