The second article in Volume 68, Issue 5, Retiring Military Jurisdiction Over Military Retirees, written by Prof. Robert Leider, argues that courts applying court-martial jurisdiction to military retirees for conduct unrelated to military service have misunderstood the Constitution's status-based test for military jurisdiction, which clearly distinguishes between active members of the regular forces and militiamen.

As an active member of the United States Military, you are entitled to free representation by a member of JAG. However, this does not mean that you are not allowed to seek private counsel as well. If you can afford it, bringing on a private attorney’s counsel in addition to the counsel of your JAG attorney can be beneficial to the outcome of your case. Just keep in mind that a civilian attorney will likely not know the specifications of military cases. #TLG #AdamTouma #CivilianCounsel #LegalAdvice #MilitaryLawyer https://vist.ly/36w5c

Fun fact: Modern Congress is severely disconnected from its original mandate to prioritize the public good and tranquility of the American people. The reason why politicians are only bound to the voters and not 3rd parties is because Congress derives their authority from the voters not people at-large or the partial legal persons with limited rights, corporations. But it’s obvious that our Congress, complicity from both parties, is corporate ruled, not by the people. As such, politicians seem to think that political office is an extension of their own personal truths, not political truths or the objective truth which is their obligations under their Constitutional oath. Our Congress is extremely deteriorated and it is our fault because we put them there to cause the damage they have for so long been causing with impunity. As such, we have incentivized them to prioritize political career over political duty to keep peace and interest safe domestically and abroad. At the end of the day, each politicians has a blind loyalty requirement to their political party, not the American people.
