1. El Deber Constitucional de Rechazar Órdenes Ilegales.
El punto central de la controversia fue la reafirmación de un principio fundamental del derecho militar: los miembros del servicio tienen el derecho y la obligación legal de negarse a cumplir órdenes que violen la Constitución o la ley. Este recordatorio fue emitido por varios legisladores demócratas, muchos de ellos veteranos, en un video de servicio público.
- All members of the military have the right, and in some cases have the duty, to refuse illegal orders. Your oath is to the constitution.
- The military have a right to disobey an illegal order from the president, especially when the so-called commander-in-chief, is acting illegally, like a barbarian, as judge and jury without evidence.
- In my military training, i learned that every member of the military had the right and the obligation to not carry out illegal orders.
- Just to be crystal clear if you are in service to our nation, it is not just your right but your duty to disobey unlawful orders.
2. Reacción de Trump y Acusaciones de Sedición.
La respuesta de la administración y los medios de comunicación de derecha fue inmediata y extrema. Figuras como Donald Trump y Pete Hegseth calificaron el recordatorio como "traición" y "sedición", sugiriendo que los legisladores deberían enfrentar la pena de muerte. Esta reacción fue vista por los críticos como una admisión implícita de que el presidente planeaba emitir órdenes ilegales.
- Maga this is treason! punishable by death!! this is one of many reasons i gave up on trying to reach right wingers.
- Whats most telling is that the president considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law.
- Trump called for the killing of democratic leaders that reminded the military of the oath they took to the country.
- So, to be clear, the position of trump, hegseth and the rest of that gang of wannabe mussolinis is that troops must obey illegalunconstitutional orders? and quoting existing law is now against the law? thats their position, right?
- Pussy boy who never served in the military, is recommending death by sedition to the jan. 6ers, whoops, i mean the senators. Do i have this right ?
3. Contexto de Órdenes Ilegales y Violencia.
El debate se enmarcó en una serie de acciones militares y de seguridad interna percibidas como ilegales o inconstitucionales, incluyendo el despliegue de la Guardia Nacional en DC (cuestionado por jueces) y los ataques a embarcaciones en el Caribe, que muchos consideraron asesinatos extrajudiciales.
- 12 r.i.p. To the two national guardsmen who were just killed in d.c. Political violence has been normalized by the right and trump has put these brave people in unnecessary danger by asking them to guard a city hes actively destabilizing.
- Judge permanently blocked trumps use of the national guard in portland oregon a trump appointed judge, after a 3 day trial, found that he had no right under congress statute to take over and deploy the national guard because there was no oregon rebellion!
- The most absurd part of the current controversy over military orders are all the right-wingers saying buh.whut illegal orders?! between explosions of small fishing boats that mayy what, me worry? have drugs on them or may have just had fishermen on them.
- The trump administration is basically claiming the right to kill anyone anywhere, with bombs or missiles or drones, for any reason or for no reason, with no evidence provided or accountability to congress or the american people.
