When a federal judge blocked the Trump administration from accessing Treasury Department information this week, Vice President JD Vance noted that “judges aren’t allowed to control” the president’s “legitimate power.”

This, we are told by hysterics, has plunged the United States into a “constitutional crisis.” However, Vance is, of course, entirely correct that it’s illegitimate for activist judges to dictate how the executive branch governs itself. It’s certainly not a constitutional crisis for an administration to seek emergency relief from a partisan injunction. Presidents have done it on numerous occasions.
