That’s what yes-men are for – to work around such pesky limitations on power.

Every member of the military needs to be reminded that they are obligated to disobey illegal orders. Every member of the military needs to be reminded that the Posse Comitatus act prohibits the military from engaging in domestic law enforcement activities.
And the military needs to be reminded that immigration is a law enforcement issue, not a military issue.

They will just remind them that trump is immune and he will pardon loyalists.

One final reminder to every military officer: The statute of limitations on these crimes extends well beyond Trump’s term: They can be prosecuted under the next president.

Not if trump blanket pardons. Say they move to impeach trump, he leverages the pardon to have those who would otherwise be court mashalled murder the legislator.

Trump’s power to pardon extends only to federal prosecution. Not state.
