Legal experts warn of 'constitutional crisis' as JD Vance and Elon Musk question judges' authority over Trump - eviltoast

Summary

Legal experts warn of a looming constitutional crisis after JD Vance suggested judges lack authority over Trump’s “legitimate power.”

His remarks follow a federal judge’s ruling blocking Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE from accessing Treasury Department data.

Musk also called for the judge’s impeachment, fueling concerns the administration may ignore court orders.

Scholars argue this undermines judicial authority and could trigger a systemic breakdown, but with Republicans controlling Congress, impeachment as a remedy appears unlikely.

    We are. There is an amendment for this. Its a funny one known as the second. But good luck with that, especially if the military is going along with it.
