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.

    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.
