Board of Education).  All this assuming that the military openly defies the authority of the courts as established in Marbury v. Madison and following, which is highly highly unlikely, given their decades long recognition of the courts as the ultimate arbiter and authority, and that defying them is arguably a treasonous offense.</p></blockquote><p></p>
