A federal judge in Washington has determined that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth cannot take disciplinary action against Senator Mark Kelly for a video in which the Arizona Democrat and military veteran advised service members that they have the right to refuse 'illegal orders.' Bloomberg posted on X, highlighting the legal implications of the ruling. The decision underscores the protection of free speech for elected officials, particularly in matters involving military conduct and legal orders. This ruling may set a precedent for how similar cases are handled in the future, emphasizing the balance between military discipline and constitutional rights.
