Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

It says that the rule of law is FUBAR.
What does it say about us that an anonymous GOP legislator says he can't go against Trump because he'd rather not get his house firebombed by supporters of the president? This is not an imagined threat. In April, the governor's mansion of Josh Shapiro was set on fire, His family was forced to flee.

John Roberts and Charles Koch worked hand in hand to institute this insanity. You see, this stupidity helps the corporate bottom line.
Because of course the guy who was sentenced to seven years in federal prison for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft got a Presidential pardon...and a job at the DOJ.

The Roberts court will find a way to rule that it was legal for Trump to tear down the East Wing but illegal for any future administration to tear down the ballroom.

What’s next? Try Christian Nationalism. Try giving more money to the rich hoping it trickles down? Maybe more privatization increasing costs to consumers? Take people off of welfare and throw them in the streets? Blame all societal problems on video games? So many choices to do nothing.

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money.
They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America.
There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

According to John Roberts the President threatening someone with pipe bombs is just part of the job and motive(s) can’t be questioned. Resign John!
Indiana Republican state senator. I appreciate her not caving, but they are all still afraid to ever use Trump’s name. I guess doing so exponentially increases the threats. Trump rules the GOP with fear and intimidation. What a broken party.

Conversely, Christian nationalists would fail a student for not citing the Bible. This is where the Heritage Foundation, Charles Koch, and John Roberts is taking our country. We will end up like Iraq, Iran, or Afghanistan.
This is tantamount to quoting characters in Jane Austen's "Mansfield Park" making small talk about constellations for your Astronomy exam.

This what the Roberts court has wrought! Consistently throwing lower courts under the bus, in order to advance an agenda, has consequences. John Roberts, the idiot savant, wonders why the rule of law is taking a hit.
You don’t get to pick. That’s the whole damn point of the rule of law.

But Pete thinks it’s cool and makes great headlines on FOX. His mother was right but didn’t go far enough in calling out his pathologies.
As former Bush OLC leader Jack Goldsmith writes, the DOD manual prohibits killing shipwrecked enemies. If reporting is correct, killing helpless men clinging to boats was a war crime.
