'Words Of A Mad King': JD Vance Sparks Alarm With His Take On Executive Power
HuffPost
The vice president drew rebukes from multiple sitting and former lawmakers.
Vice President JD Vance expressed a view on executive power on Sunday that alarmed politicians and legal experts.
“If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal. If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that’s also illegal,” he posted on X.
“Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.”
Vance’s comments came after a federal judge temporarily blocked the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), headed by billionaire Elon Musk, from accessing Treasury Department data.
The judge halted DOGE’s move on Saturday after 19 Democratic attorneys general sued President Donald Trump, alleging Musk’s team was given access to sensitive data in violation of federal law.
They warned how it's an "alarming first step" by the president.
The late night host said the president already had a "petty" reaction to this one.
