Part if what I meant was I don’t think they had the forethought of his reaction.
Not yet. The order has been stayed, but the ruling has not been overturned.
And yet his use of the National Guard is before the Supreme Court, and he's having the military blow up anonymous, unidentified boats off the coast of Venezuela.
It is not breaking law. That is the fail
He could be worried about a bunch of service members refusing lawful orders because they were mislead by democrat politicians into believing they were not.
What are you babbling about? The judge ruled the actions were illegal "unless and until Defendants satisfy the requirements of a valid constitutional or statutory exception, as defined herein, to the Posse Comitatus Act."
The reason why that video was created is because members of our military were consulting attorneys on what they may or may not be culpable for given Trump's authoritarianism.
He has mused about shooting protesters. Now, that was his last campaign where there were still people there erecting guardrails. There are no longer any guard rails in the either the executive branch, or the current GOP controlled congress. I personally would like to think the idea of not following illegal orders from any president, what is literally part of the military code itself, is something that all commanders of all branches stress. But to Trump, what he should be echoing "yes, that's right, that's the code" is treason deserving the the death penalty. I mean, he did after all say he is not sure if he is obligated to uphold the constitution and the very pledge he took as president.
Yes, because they're encouraging things that are going to create consequences for younger, more impressionable service members.
No, they don't. That is the falseness in their statement.
Lakin's fault (I can't believe even a medical officer was so stupid) is that a military order does not become illegal even if the president's authority is questionable.
Not really. What they are doing is to remind those young and more impressionable service members is that they can safely follow a unit commander who has rejected an unlawful order (probably on the advice of his attorney.) from higher up. They way I see it, they want the military to know that they have at least some political support if they mutiny should the order to invade Venezuala come down.
