Jake Tapper asks Senator Mark Kelly a great question then refuses to follow up after Kelly gives a word salad of an answer. Tapper: Was the attack on Venezuela illegal? And if so, should the service members who were part of that have refused to obey those orders? Kelly: "So what we were talking about in the video is about a service member being given a specific order and having to make a decision about whether this is lawful or not. This is like the reasonable person theory. What you're getting at is constitutional questions."

Holy shit, Pete Hegseth from 2016 joins "The Constitutional Six" in advising members of the military NOT to obey illegal orders, as he says "There have to be consequences for abject war crimes." I agree 100%.

Whoa! This what Patriots look like: Veterans are now openly emploring active U.S. military members to not obey illegal orders from the fascist authoritarian Trump regime. When the reign of terror of the pedophile president ends, troops who obey illegal orders will be prosecuted.

Democrats love to pretend they’re innocent in all of this, but they were out there saying Trump was pitting the military against American citizens. They even went as far as hinting that service members shouldn’t follow “unconstitutional orders,” clearly trying to frame Trump as someone giving illegal commands. They shouldn’t have said that, and Trump shouldn’t have said what he said either. Both sides escalated the rhetoric. But Democrats acting like they had no role in any of this is just not honest.

This gaslighting it crazy. Democrats did NOT just simply say you can refuse illegal orders. They said this administration is pitting the military against US Citizens (which generally speaking is illegal and unconstitutional). And then after saying this, they then said military members DO NOT have to follow illegal orders. I'm not sure why Van Jones is playing dumb.

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) said he no longer believes the three branches of government are equal: “I think Republicans in Congress have ceded their constitutional power, their authority to this White House. Very few of them will stand up to this president.” Sen. Kelly, who was censured by Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth over the retired Navy captain’s comments to service members to “refuse illegal orders” in a video posted to social media in November, said the move is “about stifling people’s speech.”
