Mark Kelly is not backing down.

Senator Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., remained defiant today as he attended oral arguments in the case stemming from his lawsuit challenging the military’s actions against him.

“After 25 years in the Navy, I’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by an administration that does not want to be held accountable,” Kelly said. “I will not back down.”

The oral arguments at the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals come after a lower court’s order that blocked the Department of Defense from taking steps to demote him or reduce his military retirement pay.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the military to take those actions following Kelly’s participation in a video with other members of Congress, urging troops and members of the intelligence community to defy unlawful orders.

Pete Hegseth is a punk.

    Did they make that video on the floor of the Senate or House? The Constitution gives broad protection to such speech.

    It was pleasing to note that the justices involved in the hearing seemed far more sympathetic to Senator Kelly than the lame reasons offered by the captive ‘Justice’ Department. I have little doubt he will triumph.

    How can it ever be insubordination to say “follow the law”? What does that say about Trump and his cronies?

    Everything. And what does it say about us that we can’t get rid of him or stop him???
