Vance is a useful stooge handpicked by Peter Thiel. If push comes to shove, do you think his Yale degree is going to give him any backbone if he's ordered to do something that violates the Constitution?

Yoo was ready to ignore the Geneva Conventions then, and Vance is ready to deport US citizens now.
