flag Democratic senators denounce Navy review of Sen. Mark Kelly as political, threatening democratic norms.

flag Democratic senators have condemned the Navy’s review of Senator Mark Kelly, a retired Navy captain, calling it politically motivated and a threat to democratic norms. flag The probe, initiated by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after Kelly appeared in a video with other former officials stating service members could refuse illegal orders—consistent with military law—has drawn bipartisan concern. flag Senators argue the review undermines the separation of powers, politicizes military justice, and sets a dangerous precedent by targeting a sitting senator for lawful speech. flag They criticized the tight timeline, public statements by Hegseth and President Trump, and the potential for intimidation, urging Navy Secretary John Phelan to halt the process. flag Kelly has dismissed the review as baseless, and the Navy is expected to brief Hegseth by December 10.
