Senator Baldwin sues Defense Secretary over military punishment she says violates constitutional separation of powers.

U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin has filed a lawsuit against Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, challenging a military punishment she claims violates the Constitution. The legal action stems from a disciplinary decision related to her son’s military service, which she argues infringes on her rights as a senator and undermines the separation of powers. The case centers on whether the Pentagon overstepped its authority in imposing the sanction without congressional oversight. The lawsuit is pending, with no court date set.
