JAG leaders warn: the risk of militarizing society and politicizing the military pose a direct threat to our democracy, as armed troops are deployed to our streets and plans are underway to divert more National Guard JAG officers to immigration enforcement. www.thebulwark.com/p/dangerous-...

It is especially concerning that JAG officers are being pulled into civilian immigration courts mere months after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth purged the senior leadership of the Army and Air Force JAG Corps—not for cause, but because he didn’t want “roadblocks to anything.” It is becoming clear that “anything” includes the improper domestic use of the military.

Imagine your signature action as President being something nobody wants and won’t work, but that you try anyway only to drive the global economy into paralysis. After it fails, you start to backtrack—only for a court to say you didn’t even have authority to do it at all. Awful.
