2 weeks ago
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is appealing a federal judge’s order that blocked him from disciplining Democratic Senator Mark Kelly.
A U-S district judge ruled that Hegseth violated Kelly’s First Amendment rights after the senator appeared in a video urging troops to resist unlawful orders.
The Justice Department says it will ask the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to review the decision.
The video featured Kelly and other Democratic lawmakers calling on service members to uphold the Constitution.
