Summary
JD Vance faced backlash for claiming judges cannot limit executive power after a federal court blocked Elon Musk’s DOGE from accessing Treasury payment systems.
Critics, including Rep. Daniel Goldman and DNC Vice Chair David Hogg, reminded Vance of the constitutional separation of powers.
Musk called for the judge’s impeachment, labeling him “corrupt.”
Legal experts warned Vance’s stance suggests the administration may ignore unfavorable court rulings, raising concerns about respect for judicial oversight and the rule of law.
Isn’t Vance an attorney? If so, this ought to be grounds for disbarment.
His position is going to rapidly transition from ignoring subpoenas to “You and what army?” To “the bar association are traitors” to “we’ll set up an executive branch element with tribunals” and his whole job is to bark these things behind Trump’s leash to make the courts treat the cabinet with kid gloves.
It’s possible that this is a threat to judges. I read it as “Resist us and be removed”.
That’s exactly what it is, plain as day, they are not hidding it
Well if the richest man in the world wants something, he’s gonna let everyone know
He playing stupid, c’mon. He knows.
Maybe, but it doesn’t matter. They want the outrage, cement trust in the flock
So, if Judges aren’t there to evaluate and limit the laws signed by the President, then what purpose do they serve? Does Vance think the Judges are there reading all those bills for their health?
Vance reminds me of that one kid who says he loves punk music, but only knows about Blink182.
Vance is s Theil sock puppet. He wants to dismantle Democracy like his master does.
The mantra is that judges are there only to uphold the law and strictly punish the common people and all who stand in “maga’s” way.
Vance thinks the judges serve whoever appointed them.
When fElon talked about putting USAID through the shredder, he should have really said he just put the Constitution through the shredder.
Akshully, I think you need to read the case law, Marbury v. Madison, on that one, and not just the Constitution.
Um…to be fair, “case law” doesn’t override the Constitution. The Supreme Court gave themselves power not explicitly granted to them in the Constitution, and the rest of the country has just been going along with it since.
It is somewhat hypocritical to say that Trump can’t just grant himself new powers out of thin air, then use a case where the Supreme Court just granted itself new powers out of thin air as justification.
Why would he bother when the one organization that has total editorial control over the document is ideologically copacetic?
