So a small government means a king?

Branches are too big, the one orange leaf of government
Correct. Conservativism comes from a means of fanboying for the monarchy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservatism
I meam, this is true, but labeling all modern conservatives fans of monarchy is disingenuous. There are also fans of unregulated capitalism, racism, facism und probably many other -isms going around!
The English beheaded their king for claiming to be above the law more than a century before the USA was founded.
Wait. Isn’t there military side of court that does literary this? And what’s more, it has access to heavier penalties because military can be more heinous?
Non judicial punishments and courts martials make up the american military legal system.
NJPs are basically your commanding officer saying “you did this wrong, you’re grounded. Half pay and stay in your room for a month”
Courts martials are an actual legal proceeding with a military judge who says “you did this wrong, straight to jail. Do not pass go, do not collect $200”
All this to say, yes. In fact, there are jobs in the military that can be legally punished with execution if they aren’t performed diligently even during peace times.
did you drop a “them”?
Sadly, no. That’s the quote.
Yeah that pesky balance of powers thing is such a nuisance and all.
It is very annoying how it keeps appearing every time Democrats are in charge and they suddenly will not get anything done.
What a woke perspective.
European here. I’ve seen this quote everywhere, what does it mean?
JD is drawing false equivalence, to lead to the conclusion that law doesn’t matter.
Does a judge plan a military operation? No. But they can establish if it is legal.
That’s their whole job, to establish if actions violate the law. If they violate the law, they can order them to stop.
Judges don’t write the law. You don’t like the judge’s ruling? Change the law. Judges don’t write the laws, they just interpret the ones that exist.
JD is arguing that judges (and by extension, the law, and by extension the fundamental concept of the rule of law) don’t apply to him and Trump. It’s literally an argument for monarchy.
Yup. The word “legitimate” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, and he’s just hoping that no one asks the follow up, “How do we determine whether a use of power is legitimate?”
I know this one, from Middle School civics: The Judicial Branch!
Maybe they don’t teach that in law school (???)
I mean, he did go to the notorious third-tier toilet known as… Yale.
JD Vance and Trump are doing a power grab to ignore checks and balances that are very basic elementary school level things that their supporters are going to suddenly pretend aren’t a thing
This is the vice president overlooking the ‘check and balance’ for the executive branch of government defined in the Constitution.
IF A JUDGE TRIED TO TELL A BOOZE CRUISER HE CAN’T DRINK AND DRIVE, THAT WOULD BE ILLEGAL.
If you were to try to drive someone else’s car, that would be illegal
If you were to try to command a bank teller to give you money, that’s also illegal
Vice Presidents aren’t allowed to fuck couches.Not well. I say you nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
