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.
The corrupt as hell supreme court is who would make the determination.
I think that you might find that SCOTUS has conflicting interests here. Yes, the conservatives (Thomas, Alito, Goresuch, Kavanaugh, Barret, and mostly Roberts) are generally supportive of Trump. But weāre now seeing Trump flout judicial rulings, and that cuts into SCOTUSā power; the justices are likely going to want to preserve that in the rulings that they make.
I donāt hold a lot of hope though.
