"Now I think civilian authority is important, but if the president asks the military to do something that isn't constitutional, their loyalty is to the Constitution, not the president." Ridiculous.

So, the military should be loyal to the person who is in the office of president, regardless of what is ordered by this person?

The President may be the Commander in Chief, but if he issues an order that is clearly against the law, the military is not required to obey it.
