by Rod Williams, Feb. 11, 2025- As we wait to see if President Trump will defy the Supreme Court, it is worth noting that J. D. Vance has advocated him doing so.  

In Feb. 2024, in an interview with ABC’s This Week host George Stephanopoulos, Vance was asked about a statements he made in 2021, when he stated that he would advise Mr. Trump “fire every single mid-level bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people” and that if he was blocked from doing so, that he should “stand before the country like Andrew Jackson did, and say, ‘The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it’.” In the George Stephanopoulos interview he did not back down from that statement he made in 2021 on the Jack Murphy Live podcast.
