The Case of the Missing 2010 Changes to Manual for Courts-Martial (Mmmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmm)
National Institute of Military Justice ^ | 9/1/2010 | Eugene R. Fidell

Posted on 09/04/2010 9:44:45 AM PDT by Velveeta

President Obama signed an Executive Order promulgating the 2010 changes to the Manual for Courts-Martial on August 31, 2010. The covering document is on the White House website, but the text of the changes is still neither there nor on the Federal Register and DoD websites as of 10:45 a.m., Sept. 2, 2010. The amendments take effect on September 30, 2010.

Devvy’s Alerts: New ObamaSoetoro EO – Court Martials…

http://gunnyg.wordpress.com/2010/09/04/devvys-alerts-new-obamasoetoro-eo-court-martials

Ltc. Terry Lakin is under going court martial proceedings for challenging Obama/Soetoro’s eligibility.

The judge ruled a couple of days ago that he will not be allowed discovery regarding any documents regarding the criminal in the White House and his citizenship status.

I went over to the WH web site and yes, how timely, a new executive order dealing with court martial.

Sent to me:

We have to pass it before we can see what’s in it. I sense this is attributable to the Larkin case to cover his ass.

Probably Obama is removing the provisions making sodomy a crime.

If sodomy is removed...there’s no charges of any significance that you can put on any gay GI. The entire discussion disappears overnight. My guess is that they’d like to reveal this after the election.

What’ interesting to note is that by sec 2 the change would be irrelevant to Larkin’s case as both the action leading to it AND the initiation of the judicial process was prior to the passage of this order — Or am I missing something? {Like people actually following the law when it comes to the judicial system?}

I was looking for the referenced "Annex" (that contains the changes) earlier today. I could only find this 2010-MCM-Amendments. (I don't know anything about the site that is hosting this PDF file or the poster, Mr. Dwight Sullivan, I can only assume that it is legitimate content.)

I have forward this to my attorney friend for further dissemination. Now I know why I decided on a carrer in engineering.

Larkin is one man. They want the changes to affect the entire military.

“By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America..”

and given what Larkin’s lawsuit (and others) are trying to determine... isn’t this phrase “rich”?

For those who say move on, nothing to see here ...

Do you think that’s what the E/O is about?

I think I know what you mean; I’m a computer scientist myself and it drive me mad that the law can be [ab]used to the opposite effect of what it says, even in the face of a contrary law/assertion of superior ‘scope.’

I like to use the following state constitution / state law conflict to illustrate my point:

Who is going to keep a list of all this crap to put it in one executive order and one bill reversing it all and making this era of the impostor president marginalized if not go away?

Ltc. Terry Lakin is under going court martial proceedings for challenging Obama/Soetoro’s eligibility.

But if you read paragraphs b it's clear that whatever these changes are, the will not impact the case currently proceeding against Lakin because that began before the EO was published.

"Nothing in these amendments shall be construed to invalidate any nonjudicial punishment proceedings, restraint, investigation, referral of charges, trial in which arraignment occurred, or other action begun prior to the effective date of this order, and any such nonjudicial punishment, restraint, investigation, referral of charges, trial, or other action may proceed in the same manner and with the same effect as if these amendments had not been prescribed."
