J.D. Vance raised the eyebrows of legal experts on Sunday by suggesting Donald Trump's administration might refuse to comply with a lawful court order. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court probably also noticed, according to a political analyst Sunday.
Anthony Coley, the former chief spokesperson for Attorney General Merrick Garland, appeared on MSNBC over the weekend. At one point, the analyst called a "pause" in the conversation to raise a red flag about Trump's conduct surrounding the Super Bowl.
In talking about Vance's tweet, Coley brought up John Roberts, who was recently put on notice about throwing a "lifeline" to Trump.

"I think the Supreme Court Chief Justice, Chief Justice John Roberts, is also paying attention to this particular tweet from J.D. Vance," Coley said. "And I'm not saying that he is normally following the tweets of a Vice President of the United States, but he saw this coming, the chief justice did."
He continued, noting that, "Back in December, he issued his end of year report, where he warned people of all parties of the necessity of holding themselves to the rulings of courts, even when people disagree with them."
"And he outlined over decades how administrations of all parties have disagreed with Supreme Court rulings, but still abided by them," he added. "So I think he's probably paying attention to this important development tonight as well."
