A New Level Of Chutzpah

The link below is to a video posted on X by a group of Democrats with prior military and intelligence service. The video is a message to our current military and intelligence service members. It is a reminder that it is okay to disobey an order if the order is unconstitutional. (Actually, the way the video is framed, it is an encouragement to disobey orders). The intelligence people making this video were part of two administrations that illegally spied on American citizens and made up intelligence for political purposes. Those administrations used the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to stop conservative groups from getting tax-exempt status. They sent a S.W.A.T team to arrest a non-violent pro-life protester. They are reminding people of the Constitution now? The military people stood still as the military was quietly purged of people who were patriots and might resist the authoritarian efforts of the President (former President Obama with a pen and a phone, and former President Biden who completely ignored the Supreme Court ruling on student loans) just to give a few examples.

This is the X Post:

What they are saying is essentially true, but it should include a warning to anyone following their advice that if they are not on solid ground with their claim that an order is unconstitutional, they could wind up in jail.

Here are some of the comments in the video (source here):

In her post on X, Slotkin said the group wanted to speak “directly” to service members, claiming “the American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.”

Kelly, a former Navy pilot, accused the Trump administration of “pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens,” echoing similar claims from Crow and Slotkin.

At several points in the video, Kelly, Slotkin, and Deluzio repeat the line: “You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders.”

Goodlander joined Kelly in reminding viewers that “like us, you swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution.”

One of the comments on X about the video is a picture of Senator Slotkin allegedly on the airplane to Ukraine in 2015 to fire the state prosecutor who was investigating Burisma. This is the caliber of the people who made this video. The other people involved are Senator Mark Kelly, Representative Chris Deluzio, Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander, Representative Chrissy Houlahan, and Congressman Jason Crow. All of them need to be disciplined for attempting to create disunity in the military and intelligence communities. As I previously stated, what they are saying is true, the manner in which they are saying it is highly inappropriate.
