Judge questions USDOT attorney and we didn’t quote a single answer - NYT

Here’s a more informative article that even names the USDOT attorney in question, Eric Hamilton.

Liman pressed him on whether his argument would mean that USDOT has the authority to terminate any agreement it enters at will, even ordinary measures like fixing roads. On rebuttal, Hamilton confirmed that the contract terms posted on the department’s website would also apply to those agreements.

Glad to hear it’s okay for the federal government to cross their fingers behind their back when penning an agreement. Maybe that’ll work for me if I stop paying my mortgage.
