European here. I've seen this quote everywhere, what does it mean?
JD is drawing false equivalence, to lead to the conclusion that law doesn't matter.
Does a judge plan a military operation? No. But they can establish if it is legal.
That's their whole job, to establish if actions violate the law. If they violate the law, they can order them to stop.
Judges don't write the law. You don't like the judge's ruling? Change the law. Judges don't write the laws, they just interpret the ones that exist.
JD is arguing that judges (and by extension, the law, and by extension the fundamental concept of the rule of law) don't apply to him and Trump. It's literally an argument for monarchy.
Yup. The word "legitimate" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, and he's just hoping that no one asks the follow up, "How do we determine whether a use of power is legitimate?"
I know this one, from Middle School civics: The Judicial Branch!
Maybe they don't teach that in law school (???)
I mean, he did go to the notorious third-tier toilet known as... Yale.
JD Vance and Trump are doing a power grab to ignore checks and balances that are very basic elementary school level things that their supporters are going to suddenly pretend aren't a thing
This is the vice president overlooking the 'check and balance' for the executive branch of government defined in the Constitution.
They never really constitutionalised their Supreme Court, which happens to be the cornerstone of their judicative. Now the executive is grabbing power over the judicative, which would essentially deactivate rule of law and separation of powers, basics of democracy.
