Kelly&#8217;s &#8216;Seditious Six&#8217; Report to Pentagon<\/h3>\n<p><strong>By Jim Thomas <\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The U.S. Navy has delivered its report on possible punishment for Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., over a video urging troops to refuse &#8220;illegal orders,&#8221; escalating a high-stakes clash between President Donald Trump&#8217;s Pentagon and the group of Democrats his allies branded as the &#8220;Seditious Six.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The report, ordered by War Secretary Pete Hegseth and completed by the Navy, has been sent to the Pentagon&#8217;s Office of General Counsel for legal review, officials said.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Kelly is a retired Navy captain, making him uniquely vulnerable to discipline under the Uniform Code of Military Justice even while serving in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>Kelly appeared in a 90-second video with Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., and Reps. Jason Crow, D-Colo., Chris Deluzio, D-Pa., Maggie Goodlander, D-N.H., and Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa., telling troops and intelligence officers they can and must refuse unlawful orders.<\/p>\n<p>The lawmakers did not specify which Trump administration orders they believed might be illegal, a gap critics say invites confusion inside the ranks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/us\/us-navy-mark-kelly-pete-hegseth\/2025\/12\/11\/id\/1237992\/\">Newsmax<\/a><\/p>\n<p>What Chuckles and Crew here failed to mention, besides an actual example of an illegal order issued by anyone, anywhere, that to qualify for refusal the order must be &#8220;manifestly&#8221; illegal. Federalizing National Guard to patrol city streets supporting law enforcement- legal order. Ordering the shooting of a protester for exercising a Constitutional right is manifestly illegal and should be refused.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll leave the particulars to our duty legal counsel, but these omissions could have some very real consequences. I also think there will be an example made here, after Milley&#8217;s arguably treasonous acts as Chairman JCS and a host of retired officers violating Article 88 *cough*Vindman*cough*<br \/>\nStay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Say, have I mentioned lately I&#8217;m a Fighter Pilot?&#8221; Navy Sends Sen.
