Vice President JD Vance recently criticized the judiciary's power, suggesting it should not restrain executive action as legal challenges arise to President Trump's policies. His comments followed a ruling blocking members of Trump’s advisory body, the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), from accessing sensitive Treasury data amid multiple lawsuits. Vance's remarks, echoing sentiments from Elon Musk, raise concerns over potential constitutional crises. Critics like former Rep. Liz Cheney warn this push against judicial authority could lead to authoritarianism, emphasizing dangers of undermining checks and balances essential to democracy.
