一位以与特朗普政府决裂而闻名的参议院共和党人赞扬了大陪审团决定不起诉几名敦促军人拒绝所谓“非法命令”的国会民主党人的决定。
北卡罗来纳州共和党参议员汤姆·蒂利斯（R-N.C.）对华盛顿特区大陪审团拒绝起诉六名国会民主党人的决定表示赞赏。这些民主党人去年曾呼吁军人拒绝他们所称的特朗普政府时期的非法命令。
蒂利斯在X平台（原推特）上表示：“任何一方发动的政治司法战都会破坏美国的刑事司法系统，而后者是世界的黄金标准。幸运的是，在这个案例中，陪审团认清了这些起诉企图的本质。政治司法战不正常、不可接受，必须停止。”

这并非蒂利斯首次反对政府。他曾对未来国土安全部提名人选设置阻挠，誓言阻止唐纳德·特朗普总统提名的美联储主席候选人（接替即将卸任的杰罗姆·鲍威尔），并一直直言批评总统顾问，包括白宫办公厅副主任斯蒂芬·米勒（Stephen Miller）。
与此同时，美国检察官让娜·皮罗（Jeanine Pirro）——美国首都的最高联邦检察官——试图对密歇根州民主党参议员埃利萨·斯洛特金（Elissa Slotkin）、亚利桑那州民主党参议员马克·凯利（Mark Kelly），以及新罕布什尔州民主党众议员玛吉·古德兰（Maggie Goodlander）、科罗拉多州民主党众议员杰森·克劳（Jason Crow）、宾夕法尼亚州民主党众议员克里斯·德卢齐奥（Chris Deluzio）和宾夕法尼亚州民主党众议员克里斯西·胡拉汉（Chrissy Houlahan）提起刑事指控。
这群民主党人——他们此前都曾在军队或情报部门服役——去年表示，军人可以“拒绝非法命令”并“必须拒绝非法命令”，理由是军人没有义务执行他们认为违反宪法的命令。
根据1951年颁布的《统一军事司法法典》（Uniform Code of Military Justice），军人有义务服从上级的合法命令，但可以拒绝被认定为非法的命令。
他们的视频促使特朗普在Truth Social上发表激烈言论，指责这群人进行“可判处死刑”的煽动叛乱行为。

在大陪审团拒绝起诉他们后，这些议员对这一决定表示赞赏。
凯利在一份声明中表示：“唐纳德·特朗普希望每个美国人都因害怕而不敢发声反对他。我们所有人能做的最爱国的事就是不退缩。”
斯洛特金补充道，无论政府下一步采取何种法律行动，“今晚我们可以为宪法、我们的言论自由和法治赢得一分。”

A Senate Republican known for breaking with the Trump administration praised a grand jury’s decision not to indict several congressional Democrats who urged service members to refuse what they described as “illegal orders.”
Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., applauded a Washington, D.C., grand jury’s decision to reject an indictment against six congressional Democrats who last year called on service members to refuse what they characterized as illegal orders under the Trump administration.
“Political lawfare waged by either side undermines America’s criminal justice system, which is the gold standard of the world,” Tillis said in a post on X. “Thankfully in this instance, a jury saw the attempted indictments for what they really were. Political lawfare is not normal, not acceptable, and needs to stop.”

It’s not the first time Tillis has bucked the administration. He has placed holds on future Homeland Security nominees, pledged to block President Donald Trump’s pick to replace outgoing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, and has been a vocal critic of the president’s advisors, including White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller.
Meanwhile, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, the top federal prosecutor in the nation’s capital, sought to bring criminal charges against Sens. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., and Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., along with Reps. Maggie Goodlander, D-N.H., Jason Crow, D-Colo., Chris Deluzio, D-Pa., and Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa.
The group of Democrats — all of whom previously served in the military or as intelligence officers — last year said service members could “refuse illegal orders” and “must refuse illegal orders,” arguing that troops are not required to carry out commands they believe violate the Constitution.

Service members are obligated to follow lawful orders from their superiors, but they may refuse orders deemed illegal, according to the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the military justice system enacted in 1951.
Their video prompted Trump to accuse the group of seditious behavior “PUNISHABLE BY DEATH” in a fiery Truth Social post.

After the grand jury declined to indict them, the lawmakers praised the decision.
“Donald Trump wants every American to be too scared to speak out against him,” Kelly said in a statement. “The most patriotic thing any of us can do is not back down.”

Slotkin added that no matter what comes next from the administration in its pursuit of legal recourse, “tonight we can score one for the Constitution, our freedom of speech, and the rule of law.”
