JD Vance wants the executive branch to have unlimited power with no restraint from the judicial branch. Sorry, JD, this isn’t your beloved Viktor Orbán’s Hungary. We have a Constitution that you took an oath to support and defend.

His oaths means nothing. He is campaigning for a software engineer who wants to legalize a hate movement against his own wife and children for being Indian.
Keep religious zealots far from government. These people claim to act on behalf of a greater power *and* see all earthly things — like a rule of law — as inferior to religious texts. They even think of themselves as not having to adhere to any rules whatsoever because they are doing a divine task.
Stand up Speak up Apathy kills democracy!! #ResistNow. It will only get worse DONT GIVE UP Support @democrats.org @aclu.org @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov for starters
I suppose with the huge downsizing of all the federal workforce and federal departments, there will be a proportional reduction in salaries of the executive branch that over sees them.
1803, Marbury v. Madison firmly established that the Supreme Court of the United States has the power to determine the constitutionality and validity of the acts of the other two branches of government – a concept that is a fundamental characteristic of American government.
Quick question for you JD. Would it be illegal to sexually assault a woman in a dressing room? If so, may we assume that a fine upstanding Christian like yourself would never associate with a low life POS who would do something so heinous?
Remember how during the election on every TV show,every news station, journalists,newspapers,ppl on social media were shouting saying "stop being hyperbolic" re Trump, "Project 2025 isn't a thing", "of course Trump will uphold the constitution ".
Yep that didn't age well.
Hyperbole was NOT the prob
Why are true Republicans in Congress not standing up to this assault on our Constitution? Yale Law ought to rescind JD Vance’s degree for such a public statement. It leads to weaken our constitutional democracy and the Rule of Law.
There are countries that their government doesn’t follow their own constitution law and China’s CCP is a good example of constitutional is just a document. If we truly believe in our constitution and our freedom we must all stay vigilant. This has nothing to do with politic party. 🇺🇸
Also - the obvious - if the shoe was on the other foot they would be doing the same, with hair on fire. They will undoubtedly start crying "Unprecedente!" That's because previous Presidents followed separation of powers, but when they were (perceived to be) beyond their powers there were suits.
He never had any intention of upholding the oath or defending the Constitution. It’s seems obvious that Musk, Thiel & Vance do not actually believe in democracy.
It’s a shame that veterans voted for and are part of this unconstitutional dictatorship that is trying to establish a Trump empire out of our democratic republic.
They must have taken a different oath than I did! Mine was to defend the constitution
Has it not been made clear that these people are nothing more than oath breakers. They may have said the words, but they did not mean the words they said. They want nothing more than to be Putin, Jong, and Orbans. We the People must not stand by and let this happen. The founders knew what to do.
You thought of dragging him through a con law refresher course? Glad to see you posted this. I followed even if a vote for any GOP will not come from me in this lifetime.
JD Vance-careful, you are coming close to sounding (if not actually being) as stupid as Trump. The judge ruled the way he did BECAUSE THE LAW AND/OR CONSTITUTION SAYS HE CANNOT DO WHAT HE WANTS! There is a reason for the judicial branch being separate from the executive branch. FOLLOW THE LAW!
I thought he went to school? Any high school kid that read a paragraph on Civics could correct JD here. The problem is, his audience is too ignorant to know he is once again lying. Liars gonna lie.
If you had an executive with a brain, integrity, morals, a soul, an ounce of self awareness or self restraint you’d still have the need for judicial restraint, but you’d be f’in a couch in Ohio
The 'we the people' caucus drifting ever closer to overthrowing the Reich, re-prosecuting its subversive leader, investigating the subversive foreigner and re-incarcerating the convicted and violent seditionists.
Vought, OMB has engineered an all-out assault on the fed govt using the UET, which contends that POTUS has unchecked authority within the exec that Congress or the courts can’t constrain, leaving no recourse when POTUS acts with impunity
Uh huh. Mmmm good, got the vp on a tweet defying judges and the constitution. Should be a slam dunk for treason and removal. Mike johnson want to weigh in??? Military get ready, time to do a seal team 6.
My fear is who will enforce judicial orders? The US Marshalls are controlled by the DOJ, which falls under the Executive. If Trump defies even SCOTUS, who is there to stop him? Republicans in Congress won’t.
Judges can’t stop Trump? That’s just wrong.
Three equal branches keep U.S. strong.
A court can stop Trump case by case.
Vance just wants an orange king in place.
According to these animals, checks and balances don't exist. They should be able to do whatever they want whenever they want. How many times do they have to tell people they are fascists before people believe them? Congress and the judiciary should smack them down hard to prove a point. Will they?
I'm far far away but it looks like Trump is writing a new set of rules and you seem to be thinking the old rules will restrain him.How will the constitution stop Trump if he ignores it. He does/will control the DOJ/FBI & has emerged, virtually unscathed, from prosecutions before he became president
Can’t wait for JD’s wife to be deported. She’s a birthright citizen. She was born here but her parents were NOT yet naturalized citizens. Either she goes or no one goes.
I believe #Felon47 and Vance are following president Andrew Jackson's footsteps when he defied the SCOTUS in Worcester v. Georgia that led to the #TrailOfTears
It’s time to start approaching Republican Congressmen in person. Gather a group of people, alert the local media, and go to their offices daily. Every day. Different groups of people. Multiple times a day. Ask them the hard questions and demand answers as their constituents (even if you’re not).
The executive branch was given way too much power by congress and the supreme court for many years. Now the ruling of presidential immunity is the final nail on our coffin that was once democracy since it can be taken by a dictator legally.
We have some leftist militia groups like the Black Panthers and NFAC who are well armed and organized, but they are vastly outnumbered by the far right militia and the PMC mercenaries Musk is hiring and of course the regular military.
As usual, the question is on which side will be the military (incl. Nat. Guards). That's why I'm saying it does not matter what regular soldiers and low-level officers say / think: if they top generals command, it will be resolved really quickly:
yes or no.
@kamilkazani.org once argued very plausibly (Twitter era) that Medvedev was deliberately pushed into rage-mania by Putin, so he would become too toxic for the West to ever consider him as a reasonable alternative for Putin, be it by coup or natural death.
Why do these guys think a plan that includes following the playbook of a country with 9.5 million people and limited geographical area will work in the US? It’s the recipe for a cluster fuck.
Or do we anymore? Because the Republicans in Congress and throughout the country seem to have no problem with giving close to unlimited power to one man and his stupid orange mouthpiece.
He’s like a 13 year old that tells lies that he thinks impresses others. Like he told about his mother graduating as the Valedictorian of her high school. He stop maturing at 12 or 13. He needs to be in therapy, not the White House.
Wake up people...there's no such thing as "law". A judges work, is they look at your shoes or race or they daydream then say things like, " ... wasnt persuasive " or "...didn't meet threshold" or similar gibberish. Unaccountable & corrupt judiciary should have no say in any elected gov decision.
"the executive's legitimate power." The powers the executive are welding are not 'legitimate.' They are Congressional powers. They are unconstitutional acts and executive orders. The Judicial Branch has the Constitutional right to order the executive to stop, cease, desist from illegal actions.
If Republicans want the funding to end, the agencies and departments to be shuttered, they need to do the work, write the bills, debate them in Congress, and append their votes. The executive may legitimately lobby Congress for such legislation.
That's what those armed militias are for, iirc.
You should have asked for the healthcare, and not the armed forces able to kill out an invading Martian army, I'm afraid.
(1) Mr. Vice-President, a judge can use his judicial authority to restrain a president from further use of Executive Orders that are blatantly, verifiably illegal and/or unconstituional? Could you please refrain from being such a complete kiss-ass? AND LAY OFF THE EYELINER!
Idk if anyone has ever told JD Vance to stf up?! Im so sick sick sick of Trump and his god forsaken party of NAZI’S!! Can we the people just throw them out!?! Please?!! I believe we all can.

Why?
They have a dictator.
What percentage of Hungarians own military style weapons?
Checking Illegitimate executive power, is exactly what the judicial branch is meant to do.
Vance continues to show his ignorance and complete ignorance of how government works.

If he wants to be a king he should move to some shithole that still had a monarchy 🤡
Put that in your pipe and smoke it, JD.
Who enforces Judicial orders?
Which agencies are now under corrupt leadership of Trump sycophants
Oh, wait.
Hmmm.
If only we had leaders who remembered we have a constitution that outlines how the three branches of government work together.
And then people who enforced it.
"No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law"
Instead of DEI it’s TEI (trump Endorsed Incompetence).
But vance taking over for trump is my nightmare.
They must have taken a different oath than I did! Mine was to defend the constitution
Funny that.
"In America, decisions about what is legal and illegal are made by courts of law. Not by the Vice President."

@gtconway.bsky.social
@msnbc.com
The “unitary executive theory” underpins most of the Trump administration’s most sweeping actions to date
UET will be used to repeal the ACA, Medicare, Medicaid, SS and dismantle the Administrative State

That’s their job you Thiel lackey.
The military also has a judicial branch to hold all military members, even Generals, to military law.
People should look into things realistically. Don't feed false hope. Regular people must unite and act now.

@aoc.bsky.social says that the pressure is wearing them down. Especially Republican ones.
KEEP IT UP!
CALL THE OFFICE OF YOUR REPRESENTATIVE OR SENATOR AND ASK:
WHEN DO THEY START ACTION???
💫 WE CAN DO IT
We The People. We make the rules.
Watch: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NqNlrinddCA&t=302s
They made JD Vance say it because they for now are afraid of Trump or Musk saying it.
JD Vance is like Dmintry Medvedev in Russia: Allowed to say anything crazy but what is exactly on Putin's mind which he does not want to say.
Make America a Russia.
yes or no.
That's why Trump needs a war outside USA.
Position of relifascist Vance is different.
I didn't anticipate that.
~ JV Vance
Fuck that grifting opportunist.
We should ensure they never forget how our country got started. No Kings!
Elon & Trump are inviting court cases challenging the authority they claim to have.
Soon. The courts will decide in their favor & the Constitution will be moot.
Nazis gonna Nazi unless impeached.
Now they are getting a Politburo.
You should have asked for the healthcare, and not the armed forces able to kill out an invading Martian army, I'm afraid.
