The Trump/Vance administration got right to work on this objective. In astonishment, we observe that their actions violate the Constitution, federal statutes, regulations and well-settled case law. But we miss the point. None of that matters.
As Vance explained, “when the courts stop you, stand before the American people like Andrew Jackson did and say the chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.” Vance’s words express the administration’s regard for the rule of law.
@maddow.msnbc.com this week played a clip from this interview with Vance in September 2021, when he was running for US Senate, his first public office — an office he held for just 24 months before he was catapulted to VP. Watch the entire interview. https://www.youtube.com/live/PMq1ZEcyztY?si=tl3eMdlDQkdaZyBZ
