Uh... Vance is wrong. I guess he forgot about the balance checks and balances that the framers specifically put in the Constitution ?
Judges are, in fact, able to block unconstitutional and illegal actions by the executive branch.
What's even more pathetic is that JD Vance went to law school.

Much like how appropriations are a law, and how there's another law that says the President has to spend them as appropriated, there's *also* a law for this specific circumstance, the Administrative Procedures Act, which says federal courts "shall hold unlawful and set aside" nonsense like this.

2. Will they be in shackles for future flights
It appears everything else is exactly the same.

Really is the perfect Musk tweet: chest-puffing; endorsement of dictatorship; and, wholly erroneous history.
The phrase has no connection to Sulla or ancient Rome, it's the motto of Scotland, originating from their national flower, the spear thistle.

This is Musk's new pinned tweet.
- It's Latin meaning "no one provokes me and gets away with it."
- He attributes it to Sulla, the Roman general who marched on Rome, named himself dictator and launched a notorious reign of terror, executing much of the city's elite.
- It's never linked to Sulla.
