Love this!! We should demand that private schools that take voucher money follow the same rules as all public schools. As taxpayers, we all should know where the public funding is going.

Hegseth never answers the question. What he's saying without directly saying it, is that he doesn't give a damn about collateral damage, civilian deaths, or those who surrender. He's severely psychologically damaged. He should NOT be allowed to act out his displaced aggression via the US military.

It’s important to note from a military perspective that if a subordinate is about to give an unlawful order & his senior knows about it, it’s also a requirement for the senior official to stop him from executing it. And then counsel/discipline him.
So there’s that, too.

She seems to think so long as you label a judge ruling against you as an “activist judge” you don’t have to follow their court orders & that will somehow hold up… in court?
If that’s the case, then I can think of 6 “Activist Judges” whose rulings we should all get to ignore, starting with Dobbs.
