   Military trumpers are having 2nd thoughts.

   Heard from an acquaintance, her two 40+ y/o #trumper sons in the #Army are worried. One is a M/Sgt with 20+ and the other has 18 yrs. Both are wondering if their pensions will be there. They haven't quite denounced #MAGAmoron but they're no longer enthralled. Everyone knows senior NCOs run the military so if their support is wavering, good chance the military will not follow illegal orders.

     @DemocracyMattersALot Here's an interesting analysis/history of illegal #presidential orders. Bottom line, the military can't arrest or detain a president, especially given the #SCROTUM ruling but they can def ignore illegal orders. For example, #KentState could have been prevented if the #OHNG just refused to be used as cops.
