Fissell on Larrabee

11/23/2020

2 Comments

 
My thoughts:

Practically: Not so important. There are very few retiree cases.

Symbolically: Hugely important. Larrabee shows that the talismanic invocation of "good order and discipline," absent a rational underpinning, is insufficient to decide the limits of military jurisdiction--even if Congress is the institution invoking it. The judiciary's response: "Please!"

We will be sure to watch the inevitable appeal and keep readers updated on its status.

“Good order and discipline” are a sort of jedi mind trick. If you really had to show GOAD, most 134 convictions would be out the window. I love it when courts call BS to mindless arguments. I thought it was a well reasoned and astute opinion. Would lime to see the reasoning expanded to strike down the extramarital conduct provision.
