Can the Courts Stop Executive Orders Military Policy & the Constitution | America’s Heroes GROUP

Partner: Stephanie Kalota – U.S. Army Reserve Sergeant First Class (Veteran), Founder of The Political Veteran Podcast & AHG Correspondent.

In this special edition of America’s Heroes Corp Roundtable, host Dr. Damon Arnold, U.S. Army National Guard (Ret.), sits down with veteran and political correspondent Stephanie Kalota to discuss the judicial system’s role in reviewing executive orders and shaping military policy.

🔥 From transgender service bans to the rights of pregnant service members, we examine how constitutional law, Supreme Court rulings, and historical cases shape the boundaries of executive power.

You’ll hear real case examples like Crawford v. Cushman, explore Marbury v. Madison, and learn how judicial checks and balances work in action—even in matters of national security.

This is a must-watch for every veteran, policymaker, and citizen who wants to understand how democracy defends itself.
