> why isn’t supply chain risk the proper designation

Because you can't designate a company a SCR because you don't like the contract you signed with them.

This admin technically can't do a lot of the things it does. They do it anyway with utter contempt for the rule of law. Congress is useless and gives them a blank check and the Supreme Court just stalls everything using the shadow docket.

But the DoD signed a contract with Palantir.
