Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez argued during a CNN appearance that the Biden administration should disregard a judicial ruling against the abortion drug mifepristone. This statement came amid escalating tensions between Democrats and the judiciary, particularly following Vice President JD Vance’s comments suggesting judges should not exercise authority over executive actions. Critics, including former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney, vehemently opposed this notion, emphasizing that legal recourse should be pursued through appeals instead of ignoring judicial decisions. The Trump administration has clarified its intention to comply with rulings while appealing them, contrasting with Ocasio-Cortez's stance.
Ocasio-Cortez suggested on CNN that the Biden administration should simply disregard a judicial ruling, arguing for executive autonomy in the face of unfavorable court decisions.
Vance warned against judicial overreach, suggesting judges should not dictate military or prosecutorial actions, a stance interpreted by critics as an invitation to ignore laws.
