Episode notes
Advice for Trump's Second Term
- Fire every mid-level bureaucrat and civil servant.
- Replace them with your own people and defy court orders like Andrew Jackson.
Judicial Power and Senatorial Responses
- While some, like J.D. Vance, question judicial power, other senators uphold it.
- The courts act as referees, ensuring laws are followed, and their decisions must be respected.
Defying Court Orders and Historical Precedent
- Ignoring court orders, as J.D. Vance suggests, is a scary concept and undermines the judicial branch and government function.
- Historically, administrations defying court orders face few repercussions, and enforceability relies on trust, not brute force.
