1. This is good

People who know their job is to carry out the law.

2. Chain of command is chain of command. PERIOD! They have no idea about jurisdiction

As a military guy his first instinct is to follow orders but also to make sure he's getting orders from his chain. On a MUCH lower level I can't tell you how many times I was told to do something in the Army and I deflected to my chain - it kills time and pits your cover against someone telling you what you don't want to do. Basically it's a "punt". Some I ended up doing but it was a way of telling NCO's I didn't care for to screw themselves.

The Trump damn has stepped out of their jurisdiction with several EO's. The wall is way outside of their jurisdiction as are the immigration ones. EO's should go through a review for legality, feasibility, and implementation. A major (and initial) part of legality is jurisdiction. THE someone basic question of "Can WE do this?" Morons.

4. We also stand a good chance of redefining the term

"lawful order" at some early date.

5. This would be just perfect, if only it ended with ...

"the former Marine then kicked Bannon's ass on the way out the door".
