If the White House decides it can defy the will of the courts, then the people must defy the will of the White House.

The military swears alliegance to the constitution. A president that attacks the court is no longer a president, he is the enemy of the constitution.

@NMBA @georgetakei the president also swears allegiance to the constitution. If he can break that oath, why can’t they?

@MikePfeifer @NMBA @georgetakei seems logical, but as a former service member, I've got plenty of friends that are itching to disobey unlawful orders. Look at how top brass resisted last time : https://democrats.org/news/top-military-brass-continue-to-rebuke-trump/

Granted, this time around concerns are valid. However, I think there are efforts to get some solid ground to stand on happening behind the scenes:

@JDGeoShack @NMBA @georgetakei I sure hope so. I do know that all the former military people in my family all seem fairly eager to be on the side of Trump. With any luck that will only be former and not active duty.

@MikePfeifer @NMBA @georgetakei unfortunately, my parents are the same. They still think the GOP is the same as it's been when they were younger. I keep telling them that this is not true and they and other folks need to realize this NOW. Some matter of pride or selfishness or combo of those...I struggle to understand why.
