“That is the whole point of the charges we executed people on in Germany after WWII.”
We executed them for following orders that everyone knew were illegal. If Obama gives orders for the military to round up and execute Republicans, the military will refuse because the orders are illegal.
We did not execute anyone for obeying orders because Hitler wasn’t legitimately the head of Germany.
Every one knows that orders issued under Obama's authority are illegal--he isn't President because the Constitution says he can't hold the office. Don't see either a difference or a distinction.
We didn't execute people for the reason that Hitler wasn't head of state because whatever else he was, he was the lawful head of state.
