The people destroying women's sports on all levels are doing it as a "fuck you" to the Creator. As things pick up steam for our side going forward, and we roll back the pervasive perversion, the promoters of this nasty crap should be run out of the country. Such as that have no place in the world I hope to see. Let's see what kind of welcome they get in say, Saudi or the like.

Looked up Convening Authority. This is very interesting. If civilians are going to be tried, they don't have a commanding officer who would serve as the convening authority. That's my take on why we need a Director of the Office of the Convening Authority for Military Commissions.

What Is a Convening Authority?
November 23, 2015 By Ernesto Gapasin
What is a convening authority? Well, let’s start with the basics, the terms involved:
Convening: (verb) coming or bringing together for a meeting or activity; assembling
Authority: (noun) the power or right to give orders, make decisions, and enforce obedience
A convening authority plays an important role within a court-martial. The individual with this title has certain legal powers, which are granted by the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), i.e., the foundation of military law in the United States. The convening authority’s rights are defined in article 22, article 23, and article 24 of the UCMJ, with each article focusing on a different type of court-martial.

What is a convening authority?
In the military justice system, a convening authority is an individual with several important legal powers.
How is the convening authority determined?
The person who convenes the court-martial becomes the convening authority. Typically this is the commanding officer of the accused, who will review the evidence and refer charges if he or she believes that a court-martial is warranted. Because there are no standing courts in the military justice system (like a superior court or district court), the court must always be created by the convening authority.
What are the rights of a convening authority?
The convening authority has several important rights within the court-martial process, including the following:
Convening the court-martial
Deciding which charges are filed
Selecting the level of court-martial (summary, special, or general)
Disposing of the case through other means when appropriate
Selecting the members of a court-martial (i.e., the jurors)
Approving experts and other witnesses
Approving plea offers from the accused
Receiving the findings and sentencing of the court-martial
Approving or reducing the sentence
Ordering a rehearing when necessary

What rights does the convening authority have regarding the sentencing of the court-martial?
At the end of the trial, the members report back to the convening authority and provide a recommended punishment. Because the convening authority is in command, he or she has the right to amend or overturn the sentence of a court-martial. However, if the accused is determined to be not guilty, the convening authority cannot set aside the verdict. In addition, the convening authority is not allowed to increase the severity of a recommended punishment. They can only lessen its severity.
Does the convening authority have to be a member of the military?
In almost all cases, the convening authority is a member of the military. However, six civilian officials also have the right to act as the convening authority: the President, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the Army, the Secretary of the Navy, the Secretary of the Air Force, and the Secretary of Homeland Security.
