Constitutional Crisis: Legal Fallout from Extra-Judicial Military Strikes

Review the legal foundation and severe risks associated with recent U.S. military actions targeting suspected drug traffickers overseas. Former Deputy JAG of the Air Force clarifies why these operations constitute potential murder, violate honor, and erode essential checks and balances.

Short Summary

  • The administration asserts the right to conduct lethal military strikes based on the War on Terror legal precedent.
  • Legal experts confirm that striking drug traffickers in international waters, without due process, legally equates to murder.
  • Congress has failed its Article I oversight duty, allowing the Executive Branch to act without required approval or review.
  • Concerns rise over potential future deployment of military forces against domestic populations using stretched emergency acts.

This discussion centers on the dangerous precedent set by Pete Hegseth and the Trump administration regarding lethal force used against maritime targets suspected of narcotics trafficking. Host Fred Wellman interviews retired Major General Steven Lepper, former Deputy Judge Advocate General of the Air Force, to examine the erosion of established military and constitutional law guiding the use of force.

Description

Are Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump ordering our military to murder innocent people? It's a simple question that seems increasingly true. As of this week the U.S. has conducted 14 known strikes on boats in international waters killing 63 people and leaving 3 survivors. We don't know publicly if any of them were actually the supposed "narco-terrorists" they have been labeled by the Trump Administration. Congress has been all but silent and refuses to hold hearings. Fred was able to link up with the former Deputy Judge Advocate General of the Air Force, Major General (Retired) Steven Lepper to discuss the legal frameworks and concerns of he and his fellow former JAG's about these attacks and more of Hegseth's attacks on the JAG Corps. We are in a very dangerous place and we have to know if our service members are conducting extra-judicial murders in our name.

Last I checked it isn’t our policy to summarily execute anyone. No matter who it is. Murder is murder. And this is murder.
