Don't Obey Unlawful Orders: Constitutional Principles vs Political Pressure

Are we discussing topics that are too negative? Dr. Scott Bradley and Sam Bushman tackle this important question head-on, explaining why difficult conversations about constitutional principles are essential for preserving liberty. This episode dives deep into the controversy surrounding military personnel being advised not to obey unlawful orders - a principle enshrined in the Uniform Code of Military Justice that both Democrats and Republicans seem to forget when it's politically inconvenient.

We explore why the Constitution's 200+ year track record matters, how to stay solution-focused while addressing hard truths, and why our loyalty must be to principles, not personalities. Whether you agree with Trump, oppose him, or fall somewhere in between, this discussion will challenge you to think critically about lawful authority, constitutional limits, and the dangers of populism.
