Federal Judge Blocks Pentagon's Punishment of Sen. Mark Kelly

A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Pentagon from punishing Senator Mark Kelly for his participation in a video urging troops to resist unlawful orders. U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled that the Pentagon's actions violated Kelly's First Amendment rights. The judge's order prevents the enforcement of Kelly's censure while his lawsuit is ongoing, highlighting concerns over free speech for retired military personnel. Kelly argues that the administration's actions threaten the rights of veterans to engage in public discourse.
