This administration lies so much they're now doing pre-crime PR for illegal orders that haven't even happened yet.

Killing unarmed American civilians?

I imagine that has to be at the top of the list.

So a Marine can't refuse an order from Trump to shoot me for blogging with RCADE?

Detrimental to military discipline?

Productive of chaos?

Hiring fanatic cult loyalists who never question orders... is a contagious disease.

Trumpy is not into governing ... he is into RULING.

He will never understand that his job is to serve the public (as a public servant), not RULE the public.

THIS is why this episode won't end well and he will likely go down in history as the worst President ever.

Pro tip: Americans don't like to be RULED.

A soldier is obligated to refuse orders that are "manifestly unlawful""that is, orders that any person of ordinary sense would know are wrong or violate the Constitution, international law, or the Geneva Conventions. Following an illegal order can lead to prosecution for the service member.

... White House: All Trump Orders 'Legal,' Cannot Be Questioned ...

Let's parse this statement.

First ...

... All Trump Orders 'Legal,' ...

Yeah, The Roberts SCOTUS has said that Pres Trump (and I paraphrase) can do no wrong.

... Cannot Be Questioned ...

Ah, here's the nub.

The Roberts SCOTUS may have given a blanket immunity to Pres Trump (again, I paraphrase), but has the Roberts SCOTUS given any such manner of immunity to those on the receiving end of his dicta?

So, while Pres Trump seems to have immunity if he performs illegal acts, do those who he commands have similar immunity?

And, if not, how do they protect themselves from facing a fate similar to the Nuremberg trials, (i.e., the ~I was just following orders~ defense)?

This sounds just like when Nixon claimed that when the president does something, then it wasn't breaking the law.

@#9 ... mhis sounds just like when Nixon claimed that when the president does something, then it wasn't breaking the law. ...

That aside,what about those who have sworn to follow that "something."

If that "something" is illegal, they may be held responsible.

I will also note that fmr Pres Nixon resigned when Congress turned against him.

If I may ask, what was the vote in Congress upon releasing the Epstein files?
