[Opinion and Analysis]
In yet another, this time audacious, indication of the authoritarian intentions of the Trump administration Vice President JD Vance and Attorney General Bondi both recently made headlines. Despite over 200 years of American jurisprudence to the contrary, Vance doesn’t think the President should be required to follow what the courts say the law is. To add to this the Attorney General says the Trump administration will no longer follow the recommendations of the American Bar Association when it comes time to filling judicial vacancies on the the federal courts. We believe these to be an extremely important events and represent perhaps the biggest threat yet to our democracy.
