The highest authority in our country is not the offices of the President or Vice President; our Nation is founded on the premise that the highest authority in the land is the law. Our strength depends on the supremacy of the Rule of Law.
The American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA) is staunchly committed to defending judges from unwarranted threats and to upholding the Rule of Law. Several recent statements issued by the Executive Office suggest that judges don't have jurisdiction over President Trump's decisions and executive orders. The public comments made by President Trump, Vice President Vance and Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency, which included personal attacks on judges, labelling judges as "corrupt," and calls for impeachment of judges with whom they disagree, are contrary to the clear design of our constitutional architecture that ensures that our government is a limited one with each branch held in check by robust separation of powers.
