There is a difference between Congressional oversight of the UCMJ and going too far

Prof. Rachel VanLandingham has a piece in The Hill today that you may find interesting--it is about what actions, if any, should be taken by commanders against servicemembers involved in the assault on Congress. Rachel takes on the now frequent concern about Congress members interfering in specific cases and demanding specific results from courts-martial. One argument she makes is that the feds should take primary jurisdiction over those involved in the recent riotous events. We suspect some may disagree with her.
