Anyone who makes warnings about "illegal orders", should expect those questions, and be able to back up her warnings. Slotkin did not cite the treaties and international law you cite. She complained about legal gymnastics.I already explained this. So let me ask you a question. Do you think the bombings of boats in the Caribe is perfectly legal, above board (pun intended), etc., and explain your thoughts as I explain mine.

No, legal experts widely agree that the six Democratic lawmakers did not commit sedition by issuing a taped warning to military members about refusing illegal orders. See link
Context of the Video
The Lawmakers The video featured six Democratic lawmakers, all military veterans or former intelligence officials: Senators Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), and Representatives Jason Crow (D-CO), Chris Deluzio (D-PA), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), and Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA). The Message In the video, the lawmakers reminded service members of their existing legal obligation under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) to obey only lawful orders and to refuse those that are illegal or violate the Constitution.
The "Illegal Order" Concern The lawmakers did not specify a particular order in the video itself, but Democrats have privately and publicly raised concerns that recent Trump administration actions, such as military strikes on vessels allegedly carrying drugs in Latin American waters, might be unlawful.
