Why am I not surprised?

The controversy surrounding Donald Trump’s 2024 vice president running mate pick has done nothing but continuously mount from the moment the scandal-plagued and felony-convicted former president and Republican 2024 presidential nominee made the formal announcement that he was moving forward with controversial, far-Right Ohio Senator J.D. Vance.

Now, that controversy has begun to spread to Vance’s wife, after Americans caught wind of her professional past.

According to multiple recent reports, Usha Vance — a first-generation Indian-American immigrant, successful litigator, and the wife to J.D. Vance and the other of his 3 young children — once clerked for not just one, but two of the current United States Supreme Court’s most conservative and highly-controversial justices, leading many Americans to fear the potential implications of future court rulings in a SCOTUS that has already proven itself to be loyal and devout to some of the most extreme ideologies we can imagine.

After attending Cambridge and Yale University, Usha Vance most recently served as a successful corporate litigator for a firm that handled clients across the entertainment, technology, energy, and healthcare industries. However, the potential second lady immediately resigned from that position following the announcement that her husband was chosen as Donald Trump’s 2024 running mate.

With that announcement, Vance and his family were immediately and rightfully put under the microscope, and many Americans did not like what they found about Usha’s past positions in her professional life, as people quickly discovered that J.D.’s wife clerked for both Brett Kavanaugh before he was appointed to the Supreme Court and the current Chief Justice John Roberts.

These two men notably make up part of the US Supreme Court’s 6-3 conservative majority.

This discovery has left American voters deeply and rightfully concerned over the level of potential influence Usha Vance could have if Donald Trump loses the impending election and once again attempts to dispute it, as he did in 2020.

As it stands, the US Supreme Court has declined to take up any of Donald Trump’s previous election cases, despite the former president having personally appointed 3 of the 6 conservative justices — Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett.
