Mitchell’s “officer” hair splitting is ridiculous.
Roberts’(?) Questions about military officers defying the order of a president after he committed insurrection has nothing to do with this case, does it?
Edit: I’m coming around a bit on the Officer /officer of question. A lot of constitutional law is about stupidly precise questions about the language, and as we saw under Trump’s presidency, the laws really aren’t written robustly and there are tons of things that have been assumed to be obvious but don’t hold up.

I don’t think it does. Soldiers are already required to disobey illegal orders anyway.
