Vance Crashes Supreme Court Dinner Uninvited — Chief Justice Roberts Ignores Him Completely

JD Vance showed up uninvited to a private dinner hosted by Chief Justice Roberts for his former law clerks, tagging along as a plus-one with his wife Usha. Roberts didn't give Vance special seating, didn't mention him in his remarks, and treated the Vice President of the United States as a forgettable guest. This from the man who called Roberts "profoundly wrong" for believing in checks on executive power — while Trump calls the justices "lap dogs" and "disloyal" and is trying to intimidate the court ahead of major rulings.

Trump Rages at Supreme Court in 1 AM Meltdown: Justices Should Watch Fox News

At 1 AM, Trump posted that the Supreme Court should have "studied" Mark Levin's Fox News show to understand the 14th Amendment. This after his own appointees were skeptical at oral arguments, Roberts told him "It's the same Constitution," and he left the hearing early.

SCOTUS Skeptical of Birthright Order — Roberts: "It's the Same Constitution." Trump Left Halfway Through.

At oral arguments, both liberal and conservative justices challenged Trump's birthright citizenship order. Roberts: "It's the same Constitution." Jackson: "Are we bringing pregnant women in for depositions?" Trump attended — the first president ever — but left halfway through.

Attempted to End Birthright Citizenship by Executive Order

Trump signed an executive order attempting to strip citizenship from babies born on U.S. soil — directly contradicting the 14th Amendment and 130+ years of Supreme Court precedent. Federal courts unanimously blocked it as "blatantly unconstitutional."
