"If the ultimate goal is to keep the military from posing a threat to democracy...military professionalism alone cannot sustain healthy civil-military relations. A corresponding civilian professionalism is necessary as well," Loren Voss writes in a review of @KoriSchake's book.

For more than 160 uninterrupted years, federal law has prohibited troops wherever an election is held.
The Insurrection Act’s grant of authority to the president does not supersede Section 592’s prohibition on armed people at the polls, writes @lorenmvoss and @nkorpett. lawfaremedia.org/article/the…

What is the National Guard allowed to do, especially when operating in a hybrid status where the mission is defined by the president but the governor retains command and control?

Judge Mehta doesn’t want to quietly dismiss the seditious conspiracy conviction of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes. He’s asking the Trump administration to justify its decision to try to erase the case.

I begin every day by reading Lawfare in these troubled time when the Constitution and Rule of Law are under vicious attack by our own United States Government. I am honored to continue supporting Lawfare, as anyone concerned for the Rule of Law would be.
Two weeks in, and we've made real progress toward our goal! Thanks to everyone who’s stepped up so far!

No, you see, here's the thing: if you are professional who is trusted with the aility to commit violence, you also have to have the discipline not to stomp on someone's head just because they made you mad.
This is not hard.
The DoD developed a policy to mitigate civilian harm, but it later defined civilian harm so narrowly that it doesn't accurately reflect the actual civilian harm caused by U.S. military operations. #LOAC #IHL #CHM #DOD @StimsonCenter
While the Department of Defense needs to develop concepts that narrowly detail civilian harm, they also need to match reality on the ground. Nonresident fellow @lorenmvoss critiques DoD's new definition and its limits in addressing civilian populations.
