U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer's recent ruling restricts political appointees from accessing Treasury Department systems, inciting backlash from Vice President JD Vance among others. Vance contends that Engelmayer's order undermines the executive branch and oversteps judicial authority, stating that judges cannot regulate legitimate executive powers. This assertion drew sharp critiques from various political figures, framing it as a constitutional crisis. Citing Supreme Court precedents, Vance supports the notion that certain government actions fall outside judicial review, insisting that the judiciary must respect the boundaries of power between branches of government.
Judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power.
Engelmayer's order is ridiculous on its face, and the vice president is right about the limits of judicial power.
