Following Donald Trump's election, concerns have emerged regarding the potential for the administration to disregard court orders. Vice President J.D. Vance’s comments reflect a troubling attitude towards judicial authority, suggesting that those in power may seek to redefine the limits of executive authority. The historical precedent set by Marbury v. Madison emphasizes that the judiciary holds the authority to interpret law, yet hints of defiance can unsettle the balance of power and lead to a constitutional crisis. The implications of such actions remain uncertain and alarming.
Vance's post is somewhat tricky. The vice president didn't say outright that the administration would defy a court order, but he hinted at it.
if the Trump administration decides that the president himself—or Elon Musk—gets to choose whether or not to obey the courts, then the country may cross into dangerous territory.
