And He's The VP!

When did you learn about the three equal branches of government or the Constitutional checks and balances. It seems that the Vice President never learned those lessons!

Vice-president accused of threatening constitution after saying judges have no right to restrain president’s agenda

JD Vance, the US vice-president, has been accused of threatening the US constitution after telling judges who have issued rulings temporarily blocking some of Donald Trump’s most contentious executive orders that they “aren’t allowed” to control the president’s “legitimate power”.

Vance’s intervention came after Judge Paul Engelmayer, a US district court judge, issued an injunction stopping Elon Musk’s “department of government efficiency” (Doge) unit from accessing the treasury department’s central payment system in search of supposed corruption and waste.

Engelmayer’s ruling triggered an angry riposte from Vance, a graduate of Yale law school, who claimed judges had no legal right to restrain the president’s agenda and compared it to telling a military commander how to act on the battlefield.

Did you get that! That was back in February and we have gotten closer to the showdown... A judge order SNAP to be fully paid this month and Trump is pushing back on the judge's order. ABC News reported in April that,

In the nearly three months since President Donald Trump's inauguration, lawyers challenging his actions in court have alleged that his administration has violated court orders on a half dozen occasions, according to court records reviewed by ABC News.

From unilaterally freezing federal funding to the use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport noncitizens, the clashes have raised concerns about the separation of powers and the potential for a constitutional crisis.

Plaintiffs suing the Trump administration have alleged the government violated or ignored court orders on at least six different occasions, but no judge so far has held a member of the Trump administration in contempt of court. On at least four occasions, judges have expressed concerns about the Trump administration's compliance with court orders.

Public Statements Affirming That the President Must Comply with Court Orders

There is broad recognition that obeying court orders and the rule of law isn’t optional.

It is a lynchpin of our constitutional system of checks and balances that following court orders is not optional. Recent statements by some Trump administration officials, including Vice President JD Vance, have sought to draw that principle into question, prompting broad and bipartisan repudiation.

Elected officials, former and current judges, legal scholars, and legal organizations have all spoken out against the dangers of the government disobeying a court order and the importance of preserving an independent judiciary.

But Trump & Company keep pushing that Trump is about the law! And you know he is going to try it... my guess is before or during the 2026 elections. I believe that he will spring it shortly before the election before the court can react.
