Nice one   Smiley

That's a massive loss for Pisshead Pete.

A federal judge on Thursday shut down Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s attempts to punish Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly over his urging of US service members to refuse illegal orders, ruling that the Pentagon chief’s actions were unconstitutionally retaliatory.

The decision landed two days after a grand jury in Washington, DC, declined to approve charges sought by federal prosecutors against the Arizona senator and several other Democratic lawmakers who taped a video last year warning that “threats to our Constitution” are coming “from right here at home,” and repeatedly implored service members and the intelligence community to “refuse illegal orders.”

Together, the grand jury declination and ruling from senior US District Judge Richard Leon represent major impediments to efforts by aides of President Donald Trump to use the levers of government to punish Kelly, a retired Navy captain and former astronaut, over his participation in the video.

Leon, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, wrote in a scathing, 29-page ruling that Hegseth was trampling over the First Amendment rights of Kelly and that his moves are an impermissible form of government retaliation.

I find it difficult to believe that any of his colleagues in the UK or NATO or Australia, or even Russia or Iran take this moron seriously, especially since he badly wants to be called the Secretary of War. Sounds to me like he’s overcompensating!

It's interesting that he demands troops will obey orders even if illegal, as does Trump.  Criminal Donald has criminal forces as shown by ICE , Kristi Noem and Bondi. 
great
