Career #CivilServants at the #Pentagon could be subjected to #loyalty tests, current & fmr ofcls say. #Trump allies have publicly embraced using executive orders & rule changes to replace thousands of civil servants with *#conservative* allies.
A senior US #defense ofcl, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters there was increasing concern within the Pentagon that Trump would purge career civilian employees from the department.
But some experts caution that #Trump has wide latitude to interpret the #law & US troops cannot disobey legal orders they consider to be morally wrong.
"There is a widespread public misperception that the military can choose not to obey #immoral orders. And that's actually not true," said Kori Schake of the *#conservative* American Enterprise Institute.
Schake warned that a 2nd Trump term could see high-level firings as he pushes ahead with controversial policies.
The next president will also alter the courts’ #racial, #ideological & #professional makeup. Under #Trump, 76% of judicial nominees were #men, & 84% were #white…. Many had ties to the #FederalistSociety, a *#conservative* #legal group. #Biden’s appointees have been 63% #female & 61% #nonwhite. He has prioritized nominees who served as #PublicDefenders & #CivilRights lawyers, & his picks have tended to be more #liberal than those of past Democratic presidents.
#Trump appointed 3 #SCOTUS justices as president. If he wins, he may get more appointments than #KamalaHarris would have.
In recent years, judges have retired in time to let the president they prefer fill their seats. The oldest justices today— #ClarenceThomas, 76, & #Samuel Alito, 74—are #Republican appointees. If they retired during a 2nd Trump admin, he could choose young replacements to cement #conservative control of the court for decades.

My fellow #conservatives, we have to #splittheticket to #save the #US #Constitution
I am an #Army #veteran sworn to uphold the #Constitution and a #conservative who reveres the #institutions of our #democratic #republic. Trump tried to overthrow our 250-year-old system of #government on Jan. 6, 2021. I am also a #Christian an #EagleScout and a #husband. #ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump is everything I stand against.
