An open letter to the Vice President

Fulfill Your Oath, Respect the Constitution

17 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

Your recent statements questioning the authority of federal judges over the executive branch are deeply concerning and seem to contradict your oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States." The judiciary serves as a critical check on the powers of the presidency, ensuring no branch becomes too powerful. Attempting to defy lawful court orders would undermine the system of checks and balances enshrined in our Constitution. The American people deserve to have confidence that you will uphold your sworn duty to faithfully discharge the obligations of your office, including respecting the rule of law and judgments from the federal courts. Ignoring judicial rulings would not only potentially create a constitutional crisis, but could severely erode faith in our democratic institutions. I urge you to reaffirm your commitment to abiding by the Constitution and federal court decisions that act as a guardrail against any overreach or abuse of executive power. The strength of our nation depends on adherence to these foundational principles. A willingness to defy court orders in deference to an individual's perceived "legitimate powers" would set a dangerous precedent that jeopardizes our entire system of governance.
