JD Vance's wife breaks with Trump over president's assault on Supreme Court

Second lady Usha Vance was speaking out this week about how Supreme Court justices deserve respect as President Donald Trump has continued lashing out at the high court.In an interview with ABC on Monday night, Vance told anchor Linsey Davis her thoughts about the Supreme Court justices amid the onslaught of Trump assaults, sparking concerns about a potential constitutional crisis, The Daily Beast reported.Vance, who is married to Vice President JD Vance, previously clerked for Justice Brett Kavanaugh and Chief Justice John Roberts on the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, according to The Beast.I have a lot of respect for the justices, Vance said. I think that they have a hard and challenging job being in the public eye, just like a lot of other people in Congress, in the media, in the executive branch. So I do want people to treat them with respect.I think that there has been a lot of personalization of feelings towards judges and the courts across the country that probably didn’t exist, you know, 150 years ago when they were less in the public eye, Vance said.And although she did not say his name, she appeared to allude to Trump's berating of the justices.So I’m hopeful that people will continue to treat them with a sense of humanity and, you know, without the kind of anger that’s led to some attacks on judges, Vance said.Roberts has signaled his concerns about Trump's personal attacks on justices, including the president's frustration with the high court after it struck down his tariff policy in February. At the time, Trump called the justices disloyal, unpatriotic, and fools, The Beast reported.Trump has specifically targeted Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett with his outrage. He appointed both conservative justices and has expressed frustration that they have gone against his wishes in major court decisions, according to The Beast.
