Is Desantis military policy actually constitutional ?

[Tommy Tainant]

No, and no one is trying to take them, other than dems, but you all can **** off with that.

By what right do you keep them ? If the constitution is the only justification ?
Ron is trashing other rights.

By right of force, if need be. Try disarming America and see what happens. Americans are extremely defiant when it comes to their rights. People will die for those rights. Its ingrained in our culture.

Americans are already dying for your right to have guns.

So? What does that have to do with me?

I'm not seeing your OP quote of retired generals being threatened with punishment in the linked article????

It's right there in the link:

DeSantis earlier Tuesday unveiled a plan that would eliminate diversity initiatives, punish former military leaders who engage in politics and end programs designed to ready the country’s national defense system for a climate change future.

Paging Dwight Eisenhower...

Why exactly did you believe that articles assertion?

 

[g5000]

Desantis: What I'm saying is, when you're going after somebody on the other side of the political spectrum, if you're stretching statutes to try to criminalize maybe political disagreements, that is wrong.


This from the guy who punished Disney for speaking out against him.

Wow.

So the OP translated "punish former military leaders who engage in politics" as a constitutional violation of "free speech". (thanks for the OP translation)
IMHO it depends on what Desantis meant by "engage in politics".
I have no clue what he meant. "Politics" is not necessarily "speech". It could mean like the 51 traitors who said Hunter's laptop was "Russian disinformation" and signed a bullshit letter to sway votes. Maybe Desantis didn't want old generals engaging in similar disinformation campaigns without punishment?

Wow.

They did more than just speak out, they lied about his bill and then started funding his opposition.

Punished the shit out of them!

 

[Ralph Norton]

This is consistent with the authoritarian right’s advocacy of the unitary executive theory – the codification of the Imperial Presidency where the president may rule via fiat unchecked by Congress, the courts, or the people.

It’s an important component of the right’s desire to destroy democracy and establish the tyranny of Republican minority rule.

Oh, so lying is your benchmark for weaponizing the government against an opponent? You suuuuure you want to go with that?

You're not a citizen. You're a British subject at birth, like Obama.

I thought you conservatives were bitching that Obama was Kenyan. Now he's British?

You guys really need to do some work keeping your stories straight.

 

[ABikerSailor]

Moron, retired military are still military UNTIL DEATH, subject to recall and they do not have freedom of speech to speak out publicly against the CinC. STFU and keep licking King Charles' bus windows.

Thanks for showing that you know nothing about the military or it's system of recalling members who retired.

 

[Godboy]

Any company who is getting special treatment should expect to lose those special priveleges if they go against the guy who can take them away. That isnt weaponization. Weaponization would be something like pulling their business license or hauling off people to jail undeservedly.

One of the headlines is that retired generals will be punished if they speak out against the policies of a sitting president.

That sounds like the state limiting the freedom of speech of a private citizen.

Of course Prez Ron would not want any criticism of his policies but is he able to do this ?

Tommy,

YOU are not constitutional

Only Americans need apply for that

 

[Leviticus]

The funny thing is that anyone with a brain knows that the santa is only once that policy if he becomes president.

If biden were re elected in 2024, and implemented this exact same policy, the same far right trash who are now calling for this policy would be pretending they never supported it and calling Biden a dictator. They only support the constitution if someone elses in charge.

 

[Leviticus]

It's very clear to me that wants to form a dictatorship. He literally stated in public that he wants to strip retired military Of their constitutional rights and punish them If they criticize his administration if he becomes president. So he wants to be the American version of Hitler and Joseph Stalin.

Ronny Boy can run his big mouth all he wants to. The closest he'll ever get to the Oval Office is Trump's mock up down at MAL where he play acts as POTUS.

Ronny will be down there burying his face in Trump's ass once he flames out hoping for a cabinet post in case the Mussollini wanabee is reelected.
