一位联邦法官里昂(Richard Leon)质疑五角大楼处分森的权力。 马克·凯利(Mark Kelly)是一位退休海军上尉和亚利桑那民主党(Arizon Democrat)在2023年的录像中敦促军事人员拒绝非法命令。 A federal judge, Richard Leon, questioned the Pentagon’s authority to discipline Sen. Mark Kelly, a retired Navy captain and Arizona Democrat, over a 2023 video urging military personnel to refuse unlawful orders. 法官对惩罚退休官员的法律依据表示怀疑,指出最高法院没有任何先例支持这种行动,并警告说,这种行为可能使退伍军人言论自由受挫。 The judge expressed doubt about the legal basis for punishing a retired officer, noting no Supreme Court precedent supports such action and warning it could chill free speech among veterans. Kelly是唯一一个在影片中面临纪律处分的六位立法者, Kelly认为此举侵犯了他第一修正案的权利。 Kelly, the only one of six lawmakers in the video to face disciplinary action, argues the move violates his First Amendment rights. 司法部认为退休人员仍然受军法管辖,但法官似乎持怀疑态度。 The Justice Department maintains retirees remain subject to military law, but the judge appeared skeptical. 预计将在2月11日前作出裁决。 A ruling is expected by February 11.
