Six Democratic lawmakers triggered MAGA and Trump with a video that urged military members to refuse unspecified unlawful orders:
Senators Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly, of Michigan and Arizona, Colorado Rep. Jason Crow, New Hampshire Rep. Maggie Goodlander, and Pennsylvania Reps. Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan have MAGA spokespeople and internet trolls in a frenzy over the idea that the law is clear, that military members have the right to refuse illegal orders.
There are no clear legal grounds for the prosecution of lawmakers, as they enjoy broad immunity for statements and other acts taken in their official capacities.
And not only does the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution also provide broad protection for political speech, the United States has not had laws criminalizing speech against the government as “sedition” on the books since Congress repealed the First World War-era Sedition Act in 1920.
