Sen. Mark Kelly isn’t concerned about the Trump administration’s threats of a court-martial.

Kelly joined several other Democratic lawmakers earlier this month in a video that encouraged troops to disobey any unlawful orders they might be asked to carry out. President Donald Trump claimed the video amounted to sedition and threatened the death penalty. On Monday, the Department of Defense announced a probe into Kelly, saying the congressman could be recalled to face a court-martial.

The Democratic senator from Arizona responded with a statement detailing high-pressure situations he faced both as a pilot in the U.S. Navy and as an astronaut. Kelly said he would not give in to “bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution.”
