The Pentagon’s investigation of Sen. Mark Kelly over a video that urges American troops to defy “illegal orders” has raised a slew of questions, and some criticism, from legal experts.
Some say the Pentagon is misreading military law to go after Kelly as a retired Navy fighter pilot. Others say the Arizona Democrat cannot be prosecuted as a member of Congress. A group of former military prosecutors insists he did nothing wrong.
The Pentagon announced the investigation last week after Donald Trump’s social media post accusing Kelly — and the five other Democratic lawmakers in the video — of sedition “punishable by DEATH.”
The huge free speech advocates seem to not support freedom of expression it appears.
Not to mention the speech and debate clause protecting members of congress even more.
If you get into an argument about this nonsense with a Trump supporter you can basically end the conversation with one simple question. “If a Commanding Officer gave the order to take out the president, should a soldier follow it?”
Investigating him is fine; wasteful but fine.
However, he’s on the record with what he said, and it’s backed by military law.
Once they’ve taken the 1 hour to investigate and come to that conclusion, it SHOULD be time to move on.
For some reason we’re still discussing it over a week later.
Define “can”
An aluminum vessel used to store food products for extended periods of time.
“Shitter”
A bulbous accessory used to store mucus
If that video was sedition, then so is this post. They’re saying the exact same thing.
