Top Trump administration officials openly question judiciary's authority to serve as a check on executive power.

Vice President JD Vance : Judges aren't allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.

Deputy White House chief of staff Stephen Miller calls the ruling “an assault on the very idea of democracy itself” The pushback comes as the administration's efforts to dismantle government agencies and eliminate large swaths of federal workforce are being held up by the courts.

Murphy : “You have to run a full-scale opposition. You cannot just rely on the court system.” Republicans have largely stood in lockstep behind the president since he was sworn in for a second term.

Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan blasted the court ruling for the Treasury Department case while arguing that the president should be able to implement his agenda.
