Second Lady Usha Vance distances herself from Trump's attack on the high court

Second Lady Usha Vance defended Supreme Court Justices during an ABC interview Monday night.

The Daily Beast reports Vance urged viewers to treat the Justices with respect, amid President Donald Trump's continued attacks on the high court.

Vance, who previously clerked for Justice Brett Kavanaugh and Chief Justice John Roberts, said justices face challenging public roles and deserve humanity.

"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.

Without naming Trump, she added, "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."

Chief Justice Roberts has expressed concerns about Trump's personal attacks, particularly following the February ruling striking down Trump's tariff policy. Trump called those justices "disloyal," "unpatriotic," and "fools."

The President has specifically targeted Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett for having ruled against his wishes on major decisions.
