Hegseth Starts A Slap Fight With Sen Mark Kelly, Gets Slapped Upside His Head

A federal judge ruled that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's attempt to punish Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly was "unconstitutionally retaliatory," after Hegseth accused Kelly of "sedition" for a video urging military personnel to follow the law, with Ellen noting that the only punishment likely to be imposed is on Trump's DOJ.
Hegseth vowed to appeal the decision, stating "Sedition is sedition, 'Captain,'" in response to the New York Post's report that the Pentagon cannot dock Sen. Kelly's rank or pay over the incident, despite acting U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's attempts to charge six Democrats with seditious conspiracy.
The grand jury's decision not to indict the six Democrats, as reported by Crooks and Liars, highlights the democratic process at work, with the judge's ruling emphasizing that punishment cannot be imposed solely based on personal grievances, as Hegseth's actions were deemed retaliatory.
