So much Vance’s oath to support and defend the Constitution and its system of checks and balances. The is a blatant step toward nullifying the role of the judiciary in that fundamental system.
And who determines what the executive’s legitimate power is, JD? The executive?! Come on.
Let me put it in terms you’d get. It’s like football. The judges are the refs, and they say whether you’re in or out of bounds. And Musk is waaaaaay out of bounds with these takeovers of our systems.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.
Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.
