Columbia Law School professor Jamal Greene told NBC News that Vance wasn’t explicitly saying that the Trump administration was set to ignore court orders.
Experts warn of potential system ‘breakdown’ as Musk and Vance question judges’ authority ‘Judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power,’ JD Vance says.
He added: "The concern is that the vice president’s statement could be taken to suggest that the Executive Branch is prepared to refuse to comply with a court order based on the president’s own view that he has a power that the courts have concluded he does not.”.
Legal experts are concerned that a constitutional “crisis” may be forthcoming after Vice President JD Vance suggested that he believes judges don’t have authority over President Donald Trump’s power.
Dan Urman, a Northeastern University law professor, told NBC News: “The bottom line is that our system is predicated on good faith, but also the rule of law in America means that the government abides by court rulings.”.
