Honest q: if Hegseth starts courts martial against military Dems like Kelly, could the accused use a positive defence of saying the orders to bomb ships in international waters *are* illegal and therefore they were following the uniform code of military justice? And then have the court rule on that?

I'm sure some companies want lower taxes but, as a property taxpayer and voter, I'd like to see more jobs and more services (e.g. housing) as ways of a) increasing the tax base; b) reducing demand on health and emergency services; c) improving lives. I'd 100% pay 20% or more property tax for that.
I ask again, as a property-tax payer, is Andy Fillmore the WORST mayor ever, or THE worst mayor EVER?
