The article discusses Vice-President JD Vance's controversial remarks on the limits of judicial power over the executive branch, asserting that judges cannot control the legitimate power of the executive. Critics argue that Vance's statement undermines established constitutional principles and could herald a shift toward authoritarian governance. Legal scholars highlight that his claims lack constitutional foundation and warn that such interventions could disrupt the checks and balances essential for American democracy. Vance's comments respond to recent court rulings that hinder Trump's aggressive expansion of presidential powers, including actions against key governmental institutions.
