What oath? They're literally just standing around doing nothing. This deployment is legal, the president is allowed to do it for 30 days. After that you might have some legal fuckery to try and get them there illegally but it's above board for now.

They swore to uphold the Constitution. So far their orders are within the law.

Trump's within his rights, for 30 days. We'll see what comes next.

Again, even if the justification is 100% bogus??

This sounds like yet another move of the goal post to justify inaction

You mean this oath? The one that swears to obey the orders of the president?

“I, ________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and of the State of ______ against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to them; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the Governor of ______ and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to law and regulations. So help me God.”

“According to law and regulations.”

The president is breaking the oldest law we have. Around deez here parts we call that the constitution, Kyle.

So are you going to pay for the legal fight they would have and eventually lose? Will you pay their fines, fees and serve their sentence? And pay them when they can't find a job due to a dishonorable discharge?

[–] Jumbie@lemmy.zip 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, use my taxes to defend people that don’t betray the constitution.

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 0 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

No, you personally. Since that's what you're asking of these people.

[–] Jumbie@lemmy.zip 0 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Yes.

You can take my personal taxes and pay the people that aren’t traitors to America.

You, personally, can go do it.
