When I enlisted, and with each re-enlistment I took this oath, and it says nothing about obeying the laws passed by Congress. BUT it does specifically mention the Constitution:
I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God. (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).
This one sentence is the plunger into all of this BS:
"I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice."
"obey the orders of the President of the United States"....the aholes are trying hand tie the President...that is all!!!
I took that OATH for 30 years (ret. mil) and this is NOTHING but lawfare!!!!! The SCs are there to UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION AS WRITTEN AND NOT TRY TO INTERPRET...
