Vance has an old school polotician side. If left to himself, he wouldn’t go against the courts for example.

Don’t be so sure about that.

“I think that what Trump should, like, if I was giving him one piece of advice, [is] fire every single mid-level bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state,” he said in 2021 on a podcast. “Replace them with our people. And when the courts — because you will get taken to court — and when the courts stop you, stand before the country like Andrew Jackson did and say, ‘The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.’”

Now, Vance doesn’t have the iron grip on 33% of the country that Trump has, so it’s possible that he’d have to be more cautious. But he’s definitely not against ignoring the courts in principle.
