Senator Kelly is correct.

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."

The arts serve to enlighten and enrich us which is enough justification to support them.
But they also make us better thinkers, and sometimes they inspire even the smartest scientist to a breakthrough.

Always nice that Prescott Bush’s & George Herbert Walker’s bankers plot to establish a fascist co-president to run the country from the shadows finally came to fruition 90 years later and after their son/grandson and grandson/great grandson both got to be president without one.
The best way to understand the current regime is that we're effectively being governed by an unofficial, extra-constitutional junta mostly dominated by Miller, in which Trump himself is a marginal and disengaged figurehead making few if any substantive decisions.
it is the worst of all worlds. a "unitary *presidency*" insulated from judicial or congressional power and a weak president unable to do the job of governing
