Slotkin: Do you believe there is such a thing as an illegal order? Something the president could ask you to do that violates the constitution?

Hegseth: Anyone of any party could give an illegal order.

Slotkin: Will you stand in the breach if Trump does?

Hegseth: I reject the premise

The newest committee member, Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), has the floor now.

Slotkin: No president has the right to use the military in a way that violates the constitution. She observes that Hegseth will be the one person standing in the breach if Trump gives an illegal order.

Kaine: You've denied showing up to work drunk but you would agree that of true that would be disqualifying for Secretary of Defense?

Hegseth: Those are false anonymous claims...

Kaine: One your colleagues said you got drunk and chanted "KILL ALL MUSLIMS...."

King: Should the law incorporating the Geneva Conventions not be on the books?

Hegseth: We must follow rules, but we don't need burdensome rules of engagement that make it impossible for us to win these wars

King: Are you saying Geneva Conventions shouldn't be followed in the future?

Hegseth: Rules about how we treat prisoners, etc., in the geneva convention is important but we have to acknowledge that how was fought when they were drafted is not the reality of how war is fought now..

Get in loser … we’re reinventing the rule of law from first principles
