Astounded judges force DOJ lawyer to concede that Sen. Kelly never said 'disobey lawful orders'

An appeals court hinted Pete Hegseth's mission to punish Sen. Mark Kelly for reminding troops they "can refuse illegal orders" is going abso

A federal appellate panel strongly suggested Thursday that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's mission to punish Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., for reminding troops they "can refuse illegal orders" is going absolutely nowhere.

On the heels of a ruling in the court below that practically begged Hegseth to stop threatening the First Amendment rights of millions of military retirees to punish his boss' political rival over a video, the D.C. Circuit heard the DOJ's best pitch on Thursday for reviving the disciplinary action.

U.S. Circuit Judges Karen LeCraft Henderson, Florence Pan, and Cornelia Pillard, respectively appointed by Presidents George H.W. Bush, Joe Biden, and Barack Obama, formed the panel, a fact that Law&Crime pointed out after Hegseth finally filed the promised appeal of his loss. Despite technical difficulties with the court's publicly posted audio stream, Pillard and Pan's grilling of a DOJ attorney was enough to glean which way the wind is blowing.

Justice Department moves to erase Jan. 6 convictions of Oath Keepers, Proud Boys’ leaders

Trump had already either pardoned or commuted the prison sentences of most people involved in the attack, but the DOJ’s move, if successful,

Erum Salam at MS NOW:

The Justice Department on Tuesday requested that a federal appeals court erase the seditious conspiracy convictions of a group of leaders of the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys — two right-wing extremist groups who were involved in the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. The request asks the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to vacate the individuals’ convictions, effectively erasing their guilty verdicts, and to dismiss the charges with prejudice. A dismissal with prejudice prevents the government from bringing the cases again.

In January 2025, President Donald Trump pardoned or commuted the prison sentences of most of the roughly 1,500 people charged in connection with the 2021 attack on the Capitol after Trump’s loss to Joe Biden in 2020. While most of the defendants received pardons, wiping away their convictions, Trump only commuted the sentences of 14 high-profile defendants to time served, which upheld their convictions while allowing them to leave prison. The request by the Justice Department would go a step further and erase all the convictions for the extremist group leaders, including Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, who didn’t receive pardons last January.

The Trump Regime’s US Department of Injustice requested that a federal appeals court erase the seditious conspiracy convictions of leaders of far-right groups Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys.

Order in the living room! There is no bottom to Washington’s taste for litigation, but Shakespeare Theatre’s Mock Trial went beyond itself last night, charging Nick Bottom and the rest of the Rude …

The panel also struggled with the question of whether Puck, the agent of Bottom’s transformation, qualified as a “god” within the meaning of the Force Majeure clause. They wondered whether Theseus and Hippolyta, demigods (i.e., with one celestial and one earthbound parent) themselves could not undo Puck’s spell with one of their own. To illustrate, Garland, who does not claim to be a demigod, changed his background from that of a comfortable office to the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court to a startlingly crimson enchanted forest, all without seeming to move a muscle. He did not, however, change the head of one of the learned counsels (nor, as far as I could tell, an audience member) into that of an ass.
