I mean.. if the 2020 WAS stolen, what do we do?


If the election is proven to be stolen, we get voter ID…. Maybe.

I say maybe because many leftists would not care. It’s “by any means necessary “ for these nutbags.

The UCMJ


quote:

Yes! All members of the military have the right, and in some cases have the duty, to refuse illegal orders. Your oath is to the Constitution (which incorporates international treaties ratified by the U.S. on human rights and the law of war), not to the Commander-In-Chief or to any other individual in the chain of command.


Can the UCMJ be court-martialed? Asking for Whiskey Pete.

What if the orders aren’t illegal and the congressman just didn’t like them and incorrectly called them illegal and encouraged service members to ignore them?

Wrong. He is still subject to discipline under the UCMJ. Articles 90-92.

Sure you can. Just compare it to the very normal prosecutions of the Biden era. You defended those as SOP for years.

It appears that this train no longer has any significant number of passengers.

Right wingers can only recycle the same BS for so long before even their target audience ignores them. It is starting to happen.

Not for protected First Amendment speech as a retiree and sitting member of Congress.

I believe you're correct. I saw something about discipline from SecWar. Possibly a Naval court martial.

Do I have the right to refuse illegal orders?
Not at issue.
Sorry.
As I told you the issue is interference with order and discipline, which in this instance is clear.

10 USC 934: Art. 134. General article/ LINK
quote:

The purposes of military law are to
promote justice, to deter misconduct, to facilitate
appropriate accountability, to assist in maintaining
good order and discipline in the armed forces, to
promote efficiency and effectiveness in the military
establishment, and thereby to strengthen the national
security of the United States.

The issue here is the First Amendment. Restrictions on protected speech that have been applied to active service members by SCOTUS have never been applied to inactive service members. That’s why Judge Leon granted Kelly’s motion for a preliminary injunction.

Patently incorrect!
He remains subject to military jurisdiction.

Kelly is a retired Captain drawing retired pay. That keeps him within the UCMJ's reach. He never fully left military jurisdiction.

He has protected First Amendment rights.
Under the UCMJ, he not only lacks the right to use speech to interfere with military order and discipline, it is against the law.

Telling soldiers they don't have to follow illegal orders does not interfere with any lawful order, and has no applicability to the rest of what you said.

No sir.
The first amendment is not an unlimited right (yelling "fire!" In a crowded theater). Kelly's 1st A right, under the UCMJ, is specifically abrogated if his actions interfere with military order.

I don’t dispute this.

Citation requested. SCOTUS has never applied the speech restrictions for *active duty* military members to retired military members. You may want to read Judge Leon’s opinion.

Other than the real reason, which was to have the admin fall into the trap and act like retarded donkeys in response, taking a bunch of public, humiliating Ls in the process.
