Today, Leo Donofrio posted an article in which he posits that the best way to achieve standing in challenging an ineligible President, in his view, is to gather as many active military personnel and file suit in federal court:

Pinging Sandrat, he always has good information. During some of the early calls for this, we also had several JAG officers here that recommended against this action. I think there is absolutely no problem with SandRat's suggestion that you do check with JAG on potential legal implications prior to taking action. That is sound advice for any legal move by uniformed service personnel.
Oh, my fingers are so crossed! Great news.
Nothing in my brief that is the least bit contrary to UCMJ.
But you know that don’t you obot?
That is why you obots are so fearful on all the threads today.

Evidently someone in Senator Lamar Alexander’s office has followed up with the FBI.

lol.. obot, very funny newbie.. you all said that when you posted similar recommendations during the elections and the mods pulled those threads agreeing it wasn’t a recommended action.
All the recommendation is, is to check with a JAG officer before taking action... why are you so concerned about a uniformed officer checking with JAG before taking legal action.. as I said, this is sound advice for any legal action, not just this..
Resorting to just calling this simple advice ‘obot’ really makes me question your sincerity for the legal protection of our uniformed service members.. if anything, a JAG officer may agree they can do this but help them put into place safeguards, you do want our uniformed service members to have every possible legal protection don’t you?
You’re so right. Jumping on this if you’re in the service active, reserves, or state guard can be a very dagerous action personally. There are DoD rules as well as potential violations of the UCMJ that ought to be checked out with JAG first and then if the go-ahead is given make sure that it is in writting and signed by the JAG and by all means hang on to that document for self preservation.
The Obots do seem to come out of the woodwork and they are always the usual suspects. You never see them in any other posts.
If O’s lawyers best defense and evidence is factcheck.org then that have to be getting pretty desparate.
If this amuses you obots so then why are you so upset about it?

golden shower anyone?? lol...
Knock off the attacks- Garnering the advice and consent of a Judge Advocate General’s office council is sound legal advice and in no way is trolling.
Nothing in my brief that is the least bit contrary to UCMJ.shut up and that as nicely as I'll put it.But you know that don’t you obot?

You’re funny.
I’m no obot.
I’ve already forwarded Leo’s solicitation to the local JAG for a review.
Being a military retiree and as a government contractor still living under a lot of the same rules I must disagree politely with you.
I didn’t advise anyone not to consult JAG.
I merely stated that there is nothing in my Brief that is contrary of UCMJ.
Who is upset, I am suggesting (actually, I originally just asked) that before signing up, a uniformed service member get legal advice. At that, chapter VII of the JAGMAN actually provides for uniformed service members legal services for all legal action, they can draft whatever documents are needed for self protection without going through another attorney.
This isn’t about discouraging the action, this is about legally protecting uniformed service members.
You immediately attacked other members who recommended this course of action. That crosses the line of personal attacks but also could be casually read by some that there is no need to get this advice. It was sound advice, it was not trolling, and it doesn't stop anyone from joining this. That is all.

Well, I guess we agree then?
No Problem here.
If you have no problem with someone going to JAG, then we do agree.... heck, I understand, these threads can be very contentious..

Thank you for your advice, Sir!
What do you know of the UCMJ?
What is your experience?
The UCMJ as well as the laws of this nation prevent a serving member of our military from filing suit against the government, the only way something like this can happen is that a serving member of the military has to disobey a direct order from the president.
and there will be a heavy price to be paid if they do.
But you won’t be paying it....
Will you?
