@randahl It won't stand. Kelly will sue and win, and Hegseth will, once again, end up with white goo all over his face.

@randahl I think it’s pretty clear that Hegseth demands loyalty to a man, not to a constitution.
The winds of history are blowing hard on this one!

Fascism is taking over…
Hegseth was removed form the National Guard because of his far right opinions…
It is why Trump hired him… -

My strong feeling tells me that, apart from the misery and inconvenience Mark Kelly now has to endure, he will win this case. -

Indeed, time will tell. History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes...
Much will depend on the 2026 turn of events in the USA... and of Trump's state of mind. He has little time left.

Hegseth is making Kelly the front runner for the next president of the United States.

@randahl this is just the start I believe. They'll come after more who disagree with Trump (like me) and speak out.
I wonder if he'll strip our disability money too? Time will tell

@randahl Hegseth's move isn't just a violation of Kelly's First Amendment free speech rights as well as an effort to deter compliance with military code.
It's a violation of the Constitution's Article 1, Section 6 Speech or Debate clause which protects members of Congress while doing their work. This same clause protected Sen. Mike Gravel in 1971 when he read the Pentagon Papers into the record.

Dear Senator Kelly,
Please wear this "official" rebuke as the greatest possible badge of honor from a dishonorable and illegitimate administration.
You are not one of them and we applaud you.

It’s fascinating that Hogsbreath notes that status as an elected Constitutional Officer does not protect Kelly. Put a pin in that. -

Put a pin in that.@Osteopenia_Powers @randahl Funny how Hegseth doesn't note that the DoD is a function of the Executive Branch while Kelly is acting in his capacity within the separate but equal Legislative Branch of government.
DoD has zero power over Congress.
