I know it's almost too naive to find any hope in a Democratic politician, but I do think it's encouraging to see a senator see what's happening and move in the right direction, at what must be a cost to his career, because it's the right thing to do. If we had more senators like this, we'd be fine.
Fascinating flash-point here, liberal stalwart Senator Chris Van Hollen's office is explicitly attacking the CEO of the "Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington" for being "an apologist for the Netanyahu government".

When both political parties are too far right for one of the main cheerleaders of the Iraq war.
I’m kind of new to the Democrats, but I thought we were FOR respecting the legal process, and also that we were AGAINST political corruption. And that it was especially important to hold to these principles at this time.
But I guess there’s some insider memo I didn’t get that would set me straight?

The other thing about this is when you have to start voting on things, people might remember that they can be held accountable for war crimes committed in ICC jurisdictions and some of these Republicans might actually want to travel outside the US.
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.

I appreciate what he's trying to do, but the convention on not giving legal advice when you're not a lawyer is getting in the way of speaking as clearly as is possible. Yes, of course an order to attack survivers of a first attack who present no threat is illegal.

Everyone involved in the "double-tap" is a war criminal. That's not me saying it, that's the Department of Defense's own lawyers saying it.
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."

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.
