On a new path in the mountains; immersed in art, friends, garden, nature, laughter; owned by a border collie, now battling snowy winters, gophers, moles, voles, and Republican'ts at 73. With freedom comes great responsibility. Terrified for America.

The DoD Law of War Manual states troops MUST disobey illegal orders
Specifically it says
“orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal. Similarly, orders to kill defenseless persons..would also be..illegal”
If the reports are accurate, Hegseth gave our troops an illegal order

He will keep freeing the worst of the worst while ICE arrests people following our laws to try to become citizens, working jobs that pay into social security while they cannot get social security or medicaid benefits...the ONLY way to return to the rule of law is get him OUT OF OFFICE NOW!

Ask the real questions, not the politically correct ones.
I can't be the only one who reads the statement "Americans... believe the court is 'too conservative'" and thinks why can't they say what we are all thinking? The Supreme Court has a majority of corrupt and self-serving Justices who are TOTALLY overlooking the words written in our Constitution.

And that statement can be true only if the President is acting like a Dictator and not a President of a Democracy. One man making laws and decisions that ignore the checks and balances set up in our Constitution, the rights and privileges for all people set up in our Constitution is a DICTATORSHIP.
