Donald Trump’s administration and its allies are responding to a slew of court rulings blocking the White House’s actions with the same sentiment: We will see.
“This is going to be interesting to see if we believe in the Constitution or not,” Rep. Keith Self, House Freedom Caucus stalwart from Texas, told NOTUS. “Is the president the head of the executive branch, or is the judicial branch in charge of the executive branch?”
House Speaker Mike Johnson openly called for the judicial branch to take a step back. Elected officials, from Self to Vice President JD Vance, have argued that courts are ruled by activist judges intent on stopping the Trump revolution.
