ABSTRACT

Military discipline is, to be sure, only one aspect of military law, but the majority of federal judiciary, from Parker v. Levy, through Solorio v. United States, and it is importance to the foreign policy and national strategy. Rather than analyze the Roberts Court's and the current federal judiciary's military governance jurisprudence as to whether its decisions are correctly decided. Samuel Alito' Bush's nomination to succeed O'Connor, is the last nominee to have had some modicum of military service. In other words, her religious exposure and beliefs were not an impediment to military service when she agreed to accept the terms of the government program. There will certainly be future challenges to the efficacy of military law raised before the judiciary. Appeals against broad assertions of Executive Branch authority will continue at least as long as the nation remains on a war or deterrence footing.
