There’s a fine nuance here, Beckel thinks its treason to speak against the president. In Nazi Germany they swore allegiance to Adolph Hitler. We don’t. No American soldier has any legal obligation whatsoever, to remain silent when he has knowledge of his superiors committing crimes. This includes the president.

The nuance isn’t that fine. The oath ALL take is to protect and defend the Constitution. No loyalty, no obeisance, is owed to the president of the U. S. And treason hasn’t been charged often enough against certain members of that particular portion of the population.

It's true. No Service Man (or government employee, or any other citizen) is obliged to obey an order not "deemed lawful."

But .. NONE OF THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THIS NEW ENDEAVOR ARE CURRENTLY IN THE MILITARY.

Obama is no longer their Commander - so they have the right to say what they think.

In the video, Bill Cowen (one of my favorites) made this comment. “My advice to this administration is, Shut the F*** Up!”

Loved it!!

You can find the video at PowerLine.
