Would you rather be a Hammer or a Nail, JJ?

Aricle 88 of the UCMJ is a catch all.....'Contempt for officials'.

Well aware of the UCMJ. Just saying.

888. ART. 88. CONTEMPT TOWARD OFFICIALS

Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

889. ART. 89 DISRESPECT TOWARD SUPERIOR COMMISSIONED OFFICER

Any person subject to this chapter who behaves with disrespect toward his superior commissioned officer shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

Not seeing how this would be contempt...

con·tempt Listen to the pronunciation of contempt Pronunciation: \kən-ˈtem(p)t\ Function: noun Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Latin contemptus, from contemnere Date: 14th century 1 a: the act of despising : the state of mind of one who despises : disdain b: lack of respect or reverence for something2: the state of being despised3: willful disobedience to or open disrespect of a court, judge, or legislative body

Military personnel, sworn to protect and defend the Constitution have determined that there is cause to believe a Usurper has been appointed as their CiC. Granted, careers will be over if he is found a NBC, but I see no criminal charges, UCMJ or otherwise.
