Two From PA Join Four Other Democrats in . . .
Details
. . . urging our military service members and intelligence community to disobey any order they view as “unlawful”. PA US Reps Chrissy Houlahan (D-6) and Chris Deluzio (D- 17) joined fellow Democrats Senator Elissa Slotkin (MI), Senator Mark Kelly (AZ), US Rep Maggie Goodlander (NH) and US Rep Jason Crow (CO) in producing a video directed at US military personnel to defy orders given by President Trump that they view as illegal/unlawful.
Here’s the oath incoming military personnel take: I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.” (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).
A former military JAG officer wrote in American Thinker: “The posting advises military members to go ahead and decide their own law. If you feel that something is unjust, if you believe that some order conflicts with the Constitution, take it upon yourself to commit a crime under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).
Article 92 of the UCMJ criminalizes “failure to obey an order or regulation.” This congressional advice is unconscionable. These six Democrats failed to mention the disastrous life impact upon any service member who may choose to follow it.”
The six in the video do not define ‘unlawful orders’ and do not mention any specific orders given by President Trump. The assumptions have been they are telling the military to stop protecting ICE and to stop taking out drug-smuggling operations.
The above author notes, “There are insufficient details to support congressional ethics complaints against the six. They have slithered very close to, but just short of, the line of criminality themselves, while prompting military personnel to commit what may be charged as a felony.”
As the story has escalated, several of these US Representatives are saying President Trump has threatened them with death. Yet another example of Democrats putting words in his mouth!
