NBC News -Experts warned that the United States could be headed toward a “constitutional crisis” or a “breakdown of the system” after Vice President JD Vance suggested judges don’t have jurisdiction over President Donald Trump’s “legitimate power.”
"If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal. If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that’s also illegal," Vance wrote on X, adding, "Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power."
It wasn't clear what judge or court order Vance was referring to or whether he was making a broad statement.
Some of Trump’s executive orders have already been challenged in over two dozen lawsuits, and judges have temporarily halted a number of them. Jamal Greene, a professor at Columbia Law School, pointed out that others in Trump's orbit, including Elon Musk, have floated ignoring court orders. Greene said, "Given the context of which [Vance's post] has happened, it seems to be a winking suggestion that maybe ignoring a court order is on the table." More
