The vice president sure doesn't: https://www.newsweek.com/jd-vance-comment-questioning-court-authority-sparks-backlash-2028651 https://www.newsweek.com/jd-vance-comment-questioning-court-... https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gx3j5k63xo https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gx3j5k63xo This isn't a new idea for J.D. Vance. He was saying the same thing 3 years ago: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/04/inside-the-new-right-where-peter-thiel-is-placing-his-biggest-bets https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/04/inside-the-new-right... The philosophy behind this thinking comes from Curtis Yarvin. He believes American democracy is a failed project and it should be replaced with an American monarchy: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/23373795/curtis-yarvin-neoreaction-redpill-moldbug https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/23373795/curtis-yarv... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Yarvin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Yarvin America fought a war of independence to rid itself of monarchy. Yarvin and Vance want to bring it back.

These people are treasonous. Yes, I said it, and I will keep saying it. If you don't believe in the rule of law, get thee to some other country, you don't belong in this one.

> Vice-president JD Vance has cited Yarvin as an influence, saying in 2021, "So there's this guy Curtis Yarvin who has written about these things," which included "Retire All Government Employees," or RAGE, written in 2012. Vance said that if Trump became president again, "I think what Trump should do, if I was giving him one piece of advice: Fire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, and replace them with our people. And when the courts stop you, stand before the country and say, 'The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.'
