Vance on Deportations: We’re Slowly Moving Towards the Moment Where the Gov’t Will Flagrantly Disobey Court Orders

RUSH EXCERPT:
VANCE: "So I think. That’s actually. The real. Issue in all. Of these cases. There’s a there’s a very. Real sense that. We are slowly moving towards the. Moment where the government will go into flagrant disobedience of a. court order. And that, of course, is one way of contemplating the constitutional crisis that’s been bandied about. In many ways. The government right now is not in full compliance, but they’ve at least cloaked their activity in legal options, in legal excuses. We’re headed towards this moment where the solicitor general of the United States tells a justice of the Supreme Court, the government doesn’t have to always follow court orders. And look, Alex, I spent 25 years at the Justice Department. I’ll tell. You unequivocally. The Justice Department’s policy is that when a when a court makes a decision, the government is obligated to follow it. If you don’t. Like it. You can. Appeal it. But when the courts. Speak. That’s final. That’s how the Constitution is set up. With three. Branches of government. The Justice Department is part of the executive Branch. The courts get to weigh. In on the legality. Of. Executive Branch action. So why is this Justice Department different? Yeah. I mean. You know, culture. Is set. From the. Top down, right? And when you. Have. A. President who. Doesn’t respect. The law. And the rule of. Law, and when. It. Conflicts with his hopes. His. Personal aspirations, he’s willing to set the rule of law aside. This is what you end up with. And the question is why there are people, why there are lawyers, lawyers who are previously. Well. Thought of, who are experienced. Who understand. The rule of law and the implications of what they’re doing. Why are these folks willing to throw in with Donald Trump and the utter lawlessness of it? That, I think, is one of the. Questions we still don’t have an answer to."
