'Judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power.'
Vice President JD Vance wrote on social media Sunday that judges “aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power”. “If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that’s also illegal. Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.”Elon Musk, the head of Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE , which is a non-cabinet level department, and aims to cut government spending, reposted Vance’s post on X.
On Friday, 19 state attorneys sued the federal government, alleging that Musk’s DOGE team accessing the Treasury Department’s central payment system is a violation of federal law. U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer temporarily blocked Musk’s team from accessing the treasury department. Engelmayer did not immediately return a request for comment.
Vice President JD Vance speaks during a visit to East Palestine, Ohio, on Feb. 3. Residents of East Palestine, Ohio, were forced to evacuate in February 2023, when a Norfolk Southern train carrying chemicals derailed, covering the area in thick black smoke. Shortly after Vance wrote on X, he reposted a post from Adrian Vermeule, a constitutional law professor at Harvard.
