.. Ping!
So it is time for the old "blame the previous lawyer" defense. Certainly would not be fair to consider LTC Lakin was considering any part this crazy "birther" stuff just because that was his whole defense./sarc
Huh?
Consider the source: a military jag blog and pretty
consistent libs.
I can understand someone preferring to go to jail than to follow an order he considers illegal, on principal. But now I'm confused.
Thanks for any answers and/or flames in advance.
The way I now understand it, if anyone does, is that if we have the full birth certificate, we can show that BHO, Sr. was a foreigner, and therefore, BHO, Jr. cannot be a Natural Born citizen.
But, but, but don't we already know this? BHO, Sr. the foreign drunken bigamist commie economist from Kenya had already accepted paternity ... and in our legal code ... that's what counts.
In the unlikely event that the birth certificate shows an American to be the sperm donor ... well that would be an interesting wrinkle, but beside the point.
Hawaii was rather notorious in those days for issuing after the fact Birth Certificates to foreign-born kids on the say-so of one witness to the birth. e.g., "I swear that little Wan Hung Lo was born in my house on Coconut Street." So it is quite possible that the Mombasa Moonbeam will turn up a BC, that says "Hawaii" no matter where he was actually born.
What exactly is the Birther Deal? What will the BC tell us that we don't already know? It is possible that BHO, Jr. was born in Hawaii. Yeah. Be nice to know. OTOH, no matter where he was born he cannot be a Natural Born Citizen.
No matter who was in power in congress, the same rules should apply. The pres elect should have had to prove able to hold office. With all the immigration going on here, this should be a very important item. All Americans have to prove they can legally work in this country, and he should have no exempt status to hold the office of president. By this time his eligibility should be solved. It is incompetence on the part of congress that this has not been done.
Yep .. it’s confounding. That he had a rather
inexperienced first atty in such matters does
not seem to be up for argument, so a group of
retired military launched an effort to get him
competent counsel and half a chance at a fair
shake.
The new counsel has obviously chosen a different
approach.
I don’t think Lakin’s allowed to publicly speak
on the issue, so there’s no way to know what’s
going thru his mind.

FYI — inasmuch as Ltc Lakin’s motives have been
attacked as racist and bigoted against BHO by the
wacky lamestream press, maybe if they did their jobs
they’d learn that he has a bi-racial wife and three
bi-racial children.
What is really disturbing is that the judge has barred Larkin from any access to obama’s records.
The whole point of the action in the first place was the birth certificate issue.
Every lawyer in America knew the only successful challenge to Obama's citizenship would have to come before the nomination process was over, from a viable candidate of either party, willing to sacrifice themselves if wrong.
Self proving,self authenticating documents slam some doors that are hard to open.
Ever tried to get a copy of the same long form birth certificate your mother showed you?
I don't think I will ever see my little footie print again.
In my experience, the missing movement charge was the most misunderstood, and most frequently misused of any of the offenses in the UCMJ.
I can’t remember how many times some eager beaver junior officer or very annoyed NCO tried to write this up on a charge because PFC Sad Sack had failed to do as told. Some of them were comical:
“Failed to get on the PX truck and missed movement.”
“Failed to join the convoy that was enroute to the firing range”
“Failed to be on the bus by departure time and failed to return from Ocktoberfest at the designated time.”
Most of these were not missing movement because the key element was missing. The key element is the the movement of a unit undergoing a change of station or deployment overseas. Even a deployment overseas for a training event is frequently not viewed as missing movement. Failure to Repair, or Failure to obey a lawful order are usually more appropriate charges.
In this case, his movement was associated with the deployment of a specific unit, the 1st Squadron, 32d Cavalry, to a combat zone. There is no question that he missed the flight, so what was his intention and was some other factor involved. The Court will have to sort that out, but I think that if found guilty the verdict will be upheld on review.
Yes and it was not difficult to get.
Oscams Razor says the most logical explanation is normally correct. I do not know if he is legally entitled to be President. I most certainly am sure, that something devastating to Obama is in the long form BC.
And if it was a military charter of a commercial airliner his seat was already paid for regardless if Lakin was on it or not. The seat to Atlanta would be given to a space A passenger. And moreover, the usual duty station changes have a report no later than date.
Obama's place of birth really isn't the issue, it is his father's British citizenship that conveyed dual citizenship status to O.
One cannot be have dual citizenship and still be NBC.
WRONG! Who does Obummer claim is his father? ANSWER: Obummer Sr. who was a Kenyan citizen. Therefore, at the least Obummer Jr is a dual citizen and can in NO way be a natural born citizen.
WE DUN'T NEEEED NO STEEKIN BIRTH CERTIFICATE TO KNOW OBUMMER IS IS A FAKE POTUS
For arguments sake, let us assume that Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural born citizen. If this is correct, why in the hell does he let this controversy continue. Why would he let a decorated military officer go to trial instead of releasing the long form BC?

“You know, during the campaign of 2008, I was actually in the mainland campaigning for Senator McCain. This issue kept coming up so much in the campaign, and again I think it is one of those issues that is simply a distraction from the more critical issues that are facing the country. And so I had my health director, who is a physician by background, go and personally view the birth certificate in the birth records of the Department of Health, and we issued a news release at that time saying the president was in fact born at Kapi’olani Hospital in Honolulu, Hawai’i. And that’s just a fact. And yet people continue to call up and email and want to make it an issue. And again, I think it’s, again, a horrible distraction for the country by the people who continue this. It’s been established, he was born here.”—Linda Lingle, Governor of Hawai’i, May 2, 2010.
