Is this the same thing you said when Trump was convicted* of 34 bogus charges in which proving a crime was prerequisite and yet no crime was proven?

Holy irrelevancy

And, just so you know, I said the judge's ruling on that issue would be fatal and cause a retrial, just FWIW.

The oath is to defend the CONSTITUTION, not the President.

It's not defying the President to refuse illegal orders, it's the Constitution. All of the service members who defied the illegal order to get a jab under President Autopen were following this principle. The same would hold true IF Trump issues any illegal orders.

We would be in a much better spot if more people had defied illegal orders to go to the illegal war called the Vietnam conflict.

So if some lowly grunt defies an order and someone gets hurt or killed in the process, who exactly is the idiot?

These Democrat hypothetical scare tactics are for pure show. Explain that to the parents or spouse and children of a service member who will encounter an untimely knock at their front door.

The actual words used
Completely totally irrelevant unless you think a mother should have been prosecuted, and her kids remanded to child custody, for saying

"Johnny, if you get chocolate on the car's seat, I'm gonna kill you!" or

"When I catch you, I'm gonna tickle you to death." or

SFP to MsSFP, "When I retire, if I ever act like 'that guy,' just shoot me"
... not a literal invitation to mariticide.

The message being conveyed clearly supersedes words used to convey it.

That comes down to personal responsibility, at that point.

I don't let politicians guide my life, personally.

Oh no you don't. They broke the law counselor,.WHO determines what orders are lawful? We can't have individual members of the military deciding every time an order is issued.

Well this ones lawful and this one isnt...because the Democrats implied?

They broke the law.

Most people don't listen to my actual arguments and have terrible memories about what I actually said, so I'm not shocked.

Thanks for the citation, helpful.

I don't read any of that to compel obedience to an illegal order. Do you?

If a Seal were ordered by Biden to assassinate Trump to prevent him from "destroying our Democracy," and the Seal refused, could he be prosecuted under that section?

WHO determines what orders are lawful? Are we going to have a debate every time orders are issued? You cant run a military or anything else that way.

Some would be obvious like your example. But the drug boats off Venezuela? Not so obvious.

I agree it's a tough issue in practice. I just don't see how it's seditious to say don't follow illegal orders...that's the law. It was chicken shite of the Dems to do, but not unlawful or seditious.
