Wow β Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."
They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.
It may "backfire" on Trump, writes Stephen Collinson.
"After all, a commander in chief who never served in the military is now using his power in pursuit of a hero who flew combat jets off a US carrier over Iraq in the 1991 Gulf War and who showed the right stuff by blasting into space."
Multiple references in the military code of conduct address illegal orders, orders in conflict with the Constitution. Statements made by Sen. Mark Kelly and other honorably discharged individuals are in no way actionable. This effort to discredit any true hero(ine) is not just wrong, it's shameful.
