Despite graduating from Yale Law School in 2013, Vance questioned the authority of judgeships in an X post Sunday, writing: “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.

“Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power,” he concluded.

New York Rep. Daniel Goldman replied to Vance: “It’s called the ‘rule of law’ @jdvance. Our constitution created three co-equal branches of government to provide checks and balances on each other (‘separation of powers’).

“The judiciary makes sure that the executive follows the law. If you do, then you won’t have problems,” he continued.

Another X user wrote, “JD Vance, a Yale-educated lawyer and sitting VP, claims judges can’t check executive power.

“That’s literally their job,” they continued. “Courts overturned Nixon, Bush, and Trump. If judges couldn’t rule on executive actions, presidents would be kings.”

“Read the constitution,” DNC vice chair David Hogg wrote.
