JD Vance is an idiot. The point of the bill of rights is to prevent the executive from doing certain things even if the people voted for it. It would not be in the constitution otherwise.

IT IS LITERALLY THE ENTIRE POINT OF THEIR EXISTENCE FOR FUCK SAKE
This website hijacked my browser history so when I press 'back' I get taken to ads. Great post dude.
What are these ads, and why are you getting them in your browser in 2025, dude?
In other words: "If people voted for a president for a specific reason, he gets to be dictator! To hell with the law! Why doesn't the court get that?"
You fuckers going to go apologize to Obama and Biden for all the obstruction and court shopping to stop literally everything? Of course not. Only Republicans get to have a dictator you don't ever question or stop, Democrats get every law and process on earth thrown at them...
Wasting breath on their hypocrisy is the point of it. As is wasting breath on all the small stupid shit they do constantly. Ignore it. Focus on what actually is happening and what actually does matter.
To be fair the Democrats do it o themselves. Obama was told you don't choose a supreme Court justice in an election year. No law against it just standard practice so he didn't. But Trump did. Obama could have he just didn't because a Republican said it was against decorum.
That's not how it went down, the Republicans complained Obama would just pick a far left activist judge and specifically called out Merrick Garland as a "reasonable moderate" candidate that he should choose, so he did. Obama didn't have the votes in the Senate to have whoever he wanted so he called the Republicans bluff, picked Garland, and then Mitch McDemonturtle started his "it's an election year" song and dance as cover for why they weren't going to allow a vote. Mitch was the Senate majority leader so he had control over what the Senate did as far as what votes were allowed to be taken up. There wasn't anything Obama could do but nominate someone, then it's up to the Senate to confirm.
Just as Trump got his pick because Mitch McDemonturtle has no fucking morals, he was still in charge of the Senate at that time and so even though the 2020 election was in progress he forced a vote asap so they got their pick... They're such hypocritical pricks
Republicans are throwing a hail marry because once Trump dies there's not a snowballs chance they can ever win a fair election ever again.
Which is why they’ve been banning RCV, weakening voter protections, gerrymandering, and undermining the democratic process in any and every way they can think of. It’s not because of Trump, though. It’s because they know their oppressive, authoritarian policies are deeply unpopular when presented clearly, which is why they’ve been actively undermining democracy for decades.
I wish I could have that kind of optimism.
They don't need Trump at all, just someone that lies with every fiber of their being.
Nobody with the name recognition except maybe don jr. and he has the charisma of a house plant.
Whoa, not a single one of my houseplants is a fucking crackhead. They're way better people than jr.
... Of which they have many candidates
Like JD vance, oh wait we've come full circle
JD Vance needs to be bashed in the face with a sledgehammer in The Metaverse

You'll have to get him off the couch first
No worries, the couch will get him off.
Out of the couch
ftfy
Ah yes. Because he is obviously more educated about the role of the Judiciary than a man who has been a judge for decades.
Well, we are talking about Roberts here. Then again, we're also talking about Vance.
Right. It is Roberts, but relatively speaking, he's way more knowledgeable than Vance. Now if we were talking about fucking couches...
way not knowledgeable than Vance.
Nailed it! :)
I love it when headlines come down to which asshole happens to be right in this situation.
The man has a law degree from Yale which should be getting revoked soon, clearly he cheated or didn't learn enough to earn the degree.
Dan Quayle got into Yale law school too. I'm not disputing Yale's once-proud history, but at this point it certifies connections, not education.
Common mistake. The degree is from Yale Lawn & Garden Center, in Dayton, OH. Just off I-75 South, right next door to an adult book store.
He wasn't in ivy league, he was in leagues of ivy!
Oh yeah, I always forget they have a branch campus of UD.
Oh the one across the street from the crematorium! Yeah. Good deals on law there.
The court and congress need to realize that they are in line at the slaughter house and need to pull those levers they are provided to get out and that they can't just avoid it themselves but have to save the whole herd to save themselves.
I wonder if deep down JD realizes that when he says things like this about people he only makes people like them more.
The only thing Vance bashes is his flaccid penis into the folds of the nearest couch that some idiot was stupid enough to allow him to be near unsupervised.
Making enemies of the US Supreme Court. Nice move White House. Is Vance actually a deep undercover mole, trying to sabotage Trump?
It's a self-sabotaging operation. And for this I am deeply grateful.
big Grover Dill vibes from Vance
