Summary
Legal experts warn of a looming constitutional crisis after JD Vance suggested judges lack authority over Trump’s “legitimate power.”
His remarks follow a federal judge’s ruling blocking Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE from accessing Treasury Department data.
Musk also called for the judge’s impeachment, fueling concerns the administration may ignore court orders.
Scholars argue this undermines judicial authority and could trigger a systemic breakdown, but with Republicans controlling Congress, impeachment as a remedy appears unlikely.
This weekend, I read through “Foundations of Leninism” where Stalin says how they were totally right to setup a vanguard party that conveniently puts him in charge.
Which is to say this: congrats to JD Vance for beating Joseph Stalin on the most self-justifying horseshit I’ve read this weekend.
(To any tankies who are about to reply, yes, I do happen to agree with a great deal in there. It’s still self-justifying horseshit for actions already taken that happened to put him in charge.)
