"Judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power," Vance wrote on X Sunday.

Summary

JD Vance argued that courts cannot overrule Trump’s executive orders, likening judicial interference to an illegal overreach.

Critics, including lawmakers and legal experts, denounced his claims as unconstitutional.

This debate follows recent federal rulings blocking Trump’s executive actions, including spending freezes and an order ending birthright citizenship.

Opposition figures warned against undermining the judiciary, emphasizing checks and balances.

    We just need one general still loyal to our republic to take the whitehouse and restore democracy!

      A military coup is literally the worst thing that could happen.
      It doesn’t restore anything. It instantly destroys all legitimacy of the democracy, cause it proves that men with guns can simply ignore all the rules that have been built up over 250 years.

        Too late. They’ve already proven even men without guns can simply ignore all the rules. Your democracy and government is going to have to be rebuilt from scratch now anyway.
