An open letter to the Vice President

You're a Lawyer. Did You Forget How Laws Work?

34 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

As a graduate of Yale Law School, you know exactly how the American government is engineered to work. That is why your recent statements are so alarming. You have repeatedly argued that if a federal court stops an administration's policy, the president should simply ignore the judiciary, invoking the unconstitutional precedent of Andrew Jackson’s defiance: "The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it." This logic breaks our system of checks and balances, leaving us with only two possible conclusions about your constitutional philosophy: Option 1: You genuinely do not understand Article III of the Constitution, Marbury v. Madison, or the core rule of law that has guided America for 250 years. Option 2: You understand the law perfectly, but you are choosing to subvert it to clear a path for absolute, unchecked executive power—either to position yourself closer to that power or to forcefully impose an agenda that violates both the will of the founders and the American people. If a president gets to decide which court orders to obey, the judiciary ceases to exist as a co-equal branch of government. You are forcing Americans to ask a fundamental question: Are you confused about how the Constitution works, or are you just trying to bypass it entirely? We deserve an answer.
