Do not follow illegal orders.
Do not follow illegal orders.
Jon Swift has an idea:
It is the Second Amendment that makes our country free. A Global Second Amendment would make the world free. Nuclear proliferation could be the key to making the world safe for democratic proliferation.
We’d have to accept a Nuclear Regulatory Body, being necessary to the security of a free World.

In the event of an unconstitutional order, you are to stand down. In the event of an order which goes against conscience, you are to refuse. If there is an interruption in the chain of command you are to know how you report ultimately to civilian leadership and to which elected official in full capacity. This is all standard material you should be aware of already.
The president is forcing a constitutional confrontation, and these are never times of certainty in how they evolve, but the outcome of such a showdown is certain. The president will be impeached for contempt of congress. If the vice-president remains in defiance, he will be impeached for contempt of congress. This is not the best way, but it is necessary to prevent the emergency from evolving to a permanent tyranny.
You have your orders.
Watching my recent visitors compared to those who have been reading this blog for awhile, we are becoming more of a musical tribe and less of a political one. Unfortunately for my desire to abstain from national politics, I cannot put out of my mind the pictures of torture that have been committed. And it is not the actual photographs, which I would not care to see more than I must, but the knowledge that it is going on even now and worse.
This is still a political blog, until the administration and those who continue to dehumanize the world with such foulness are removed from power. We must restore civilization now.
Saddam Hussein is no threat to anyone in the world now. Do not kill him.
This is my first commandment.
