Public (Mis)Understanding of MJ?

This thread about an active duty servicemember being tried in federal court for Putsch-related offenses reveals some significant confusions. Prof. Vladeck even weighs in with an attempt to disabuse. The public does not accept the separate sovereigns doctrine.

The thread is also interesting because it reveals the punitive impulses of many (most?) people who  clamor for a post-federal military proceeding.
