Dave Aronberg: J.D. Vance Says We’re Going to ‘Disregard the Courts,’ ‘It Has No Power over the Executive Branch’

EXCERPT:

ARONBERG: “Well, Biden didn’t ignore the orders. He complied. He pulled back his plan and found a different plan that he thought could comply with the court’s orders. This is different than we’re hearing from J.D. Vance, who says we’re just going to disregard the courts because they have no power over the executive Branch. That’s not how it works. It’s supposed to be checks and balances. And that’s why it was very dangerous, I think, to make a statement like that. I do take some solace, though, in what Ms. Leavitt said. She said that we’re going to do things like appeal. That’s okay. But also, he should just go to Congress. If he really wants to freeze funding or to eliminate USAID, there’s a way to do it. You go to Congress. You can’t do it through executive orders. But as someone said, he’s acting like a king because he apparently is too weak to act like a president.”
