When I think of home I think of a place where ICE won't disappear my US Born East Indian SIL from the kitchen, where free speech is encouraged at HIGH DECIMAL as a competitive sport, where everyone is vaccinated & the only four letter "word" that cannot be said w/o being sent to ur room is MAGA.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.

The reason I want to see Secretary Hegseth and Admiral Bradley charged with murder, based on what we know, isn't because I hate the US military. It's because I served in the US military and respect it, and want to see its honor restored.

Van Hollen: "It's either murder from the first strike if their whole theory is wrong, and I think the weight of the legal opinion is they've concocted this ridiculous legal theory. But even if you accept it, then it is a war crime. I do believe the secretary of defense should be held accountable"

This is not a radical or original thought. It's doctrine, famously enunciated by Justice Brandeis (democracy or concentrated wealth, but not both), but also embodied in mid-century policy. The 91% top marginal tax rate of the Eisenhower admin was more a ceiling on wealth than a revenue source.

Seems pretty clear that this has to end with removal and prosecution and courts martial.
Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
