This ties into the rhetoric from the main stream media and radical liberals right after the election for war, social justice violence.
It looks like the Marxists, the liberals have had planned this out even before the lose in this election on just what they are going to do if they lose.

That order to go against the Constitution and “ THE PEOPLE “ would be a crime far and above high crimes and misdemeanors

Read the dayum oath they take dude. Then read the Constitution. Keep asking the questions you do and you keep showing how the population of this country allowed someone other then “we the people” to make the rules. The executive branch has already made the Congress nearly a neutered entity.

When Scotus illegally usurps Congress and forces the Armed Forces to recruit, retain open homosexuals, should officers refuse to recruit, retain homos?

Podesta has always been a closet commie, but he has finally come out as a pure totalitarian thug.

Way to go Clinton, Obama. Your boy has just revealed the truth about the Democratic Left mindset - Hitler and Stalin would be proud of all of you.

Loyal Americans are pissed. Nov. 2012 is only two years away and if you thought the tidal wave of this November was something, the next one would even make Noah weep in fear.

Let’s say a senior enlisted disagrees with an officer who agrees with Scotus. Say the officer thinks faggotry in the ranks is kinda cool, despite the clear authority of Congress to determine the rules and regs regarding homos in the Armed Forces.

The enlisted man has sworn both to defend the Constitution and obey the orders of officers. What should the senior enlisted man do?

" This is why when defending the US Constitution according to their oaths, military officers MUST confront whether their Commander-in-Chief is Constitutionally qualified for the job. If he is not, then they themselves become the weapon a tyrant uses AGAINST the Constitution and the American people. "

Could a ineligible CiC who gave these orders just say that his EO can not be illegal or against the Constitution since he was not under the authority of the US Constitution in the first place ?

In other words, a ineligible CiC can say that his EO can't violate the US Constitution since he was not acting under the authority of the US Constitution since he is ineligible.

So the senior enlisted man should refuse to recruit homosexuals? He should disobey the orders of his officers, DOD, the Supreme Court?

Lets say you go read the Constitution and stop being sloppy on it. If the Constitution does not specifically give the Federal Government authority it belongs to the States. If the Constitution protects specific rights the States can’t touch it.

Indeed and this oath for an officer is different from the enlisted oath which includes the phrase “...obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me...”

I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

I didn’t think you could answer my question. This is not the forum for those who cannot defend their positions.

As a former tank commander...they will not obey Obama if he turns on the American people. Some of the combat support might support him..but the majority of combat soldiers will not.

It would be an interesting study to see the promotions and assigments of personnel since Obama was illegally sworn in.

If it’s the law, then there’s little the military can do except hope that the people push back to change the law. Our military is not Nancy Pelosi’s social experiment.

If it’s not an immediate critical issue he or she should first try to get a ruling on the constitutionality. If that option is not allowed him/her then yes, he/she should disobey, because the failure of the process to work is further evidence of foul play.
