So I was asked to weigh in by a friend and a group of USNA grads on the Standage Case, Midn 1/c. Standage on leave under an online name, tweeted that Breonna Taylor got her ‘Justice.’ He is being disciplined by denial of his commission.
Here was my reply.
HF
Thx for the Standage background. I have seen a few cases of military justice but have no legal background and took a while to dig into the issues.
It seems to me that the Orloff Case, SC 1953 prevails here. Orloff was denied a commission even though he was qualified; the court gave jurisdiction to the military, the UCMJ and other rules and regulations.
Constitutional rights may be limited but not eliminated in deference to the authority of the SUPT, institutional rules and policies. That’s a very broad authority conferred on the commanding officer that is difficult to defeat given the history of cases subsequent to Orloff.
Not saying that the Midn is guilty as charged, but it is a profound IRONY that Standage endorsed the summary justice to the victim of the shooting, Breonna Taylor, but for himself evokes the length and breadth of judicial relief.
Ultimately, there should be found an opportunity for a positive learning experience in the double tragedies of Taylor and Standage. Unfortunately that day seems to have passed.
So ultimately Standage will also receive ‘summary judgment. ‘
Standage can be given a significant consequence for his impulsive and racist tweets short of denying his commission.
In another sense it goes to the essence of the Midn’s character as seen by the Supt and his review team.
Personally I have seen both sides of the Supt’s wisdom and have tried to learn from my experience to be a better person.
Standage has a superior education and will have the opportunity to use it as a leader in a different setting. He should probably resign for the good of the service and to restart his life.

CASH COWS Trump bankrupted three casinos, defaulted on a $963,000,000 loan and got several paydays out of it for himself in Atlantic City. He extended his money leaching by going Public and taking another $1.5 billion from investors and leveraging desperate deals along the way out. He bankrupted dozens of contractors and took jobs and retirement savings from 8,000 people. Trump did not pay his debtors even though he spent their money. DT AND HIS DEBTORS both took the same "legally dubious" tax deduction of $963 mil spread out at $100mil per year. "Tax deductions which I like" he was quoted saying this week,03.15.17. Cagey maneuvering perhaps but not behavior that demonstrates DT is "really smart" as he claims. "Atlantic City was a very good CASH COW for me for many years," he said. Tell that to the hundreds of hard working Maine dairy farmers who lost COWS, animals and machinery on their multigenerational farms to the bank auctions.

2016.
felt like a buttered toast with the tendency to land butter-side down, day after day.. may 2017 will have a better angle.
and if not I wish to all of you a year that at least feels like the universe velvety and comforting hugging you - each and every single moment.
cheers!

This old truck was sitting in a back field with a load of trash for the dump. For some reason this last load never reached its destination.

BUILDING THE DOCK on my golden pond. Cedar posts are wedged between huge boulders and held in place by smaller rocks. You can swim 400 yds to the other side, fish, read, sit or whatever.

Moses came down from the mountain top with notes from the Lord inscribed on his tablet; angry that people were dancing, drinking and worshiping idols.
