Summary
JD Vance faced backlash for claiming judges cannot limit executive power after a federal court blocked Elon Muskās 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 judgeās impeachment, labeling him ācorrupt.ā
Legal experts warned Vanceās stance suggests the administration may ignore unfavorable court rulings, raising concerns about respect for judicial oversight and the rule of law.
Akshully, I think you need to read the case law, Marbury v. Madison, on that one, and not just the Constitution.
Umā¦to be fair, ācase lawā doesnāt 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 canāt 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.
