Upholding the Oath
Upholding the oath our military leaders take is essential to the Rule of Law.
They must obey lawful orders, but have a duty not to obey unlawful orders—ones that violate the Constitution or our laws.
Reminding our military of their oath to follow the law is not “sedition,” as President Trump claims. It is his statements of “seditious behavior, punishable by death” and “hang them George Washington would” that are inconsistent with the Rule of Law.

Additional Statements
Standing Up for the Rule of Law
The Supreme Court of Georgia’s decision is clear that, contrary to attempts to rewrite history, on January 6, 2021, W. McCall Calhoun, Jr. and others participated “in a violent takeover of the Capitol to overturn the 2020 election and he sought to interfere with the administration of justice.”
Law and Order Requires that Law Enforcement Follow the Rules
This week we highlight an article from the CATO Institute that discusses the recent shooting of Renee Good in Minnesota. The American concept of “Law and Order” requires that police and law enforcement follow the rules already on the books.
Attacks on the Judiciary and the Rule of Law
Every judge takes an oath to administer justice without bias. They swear to faithfully perform their duties under the Constitution and the laws of the United States.
