A President can be impeached. A usurper can not, because he never was a President.
EXACTLY!
and this is definitely a problem. maybe they need to recuse themselves.
As much as I hate to say it, unless an order is directly against the Constitution, one has to follow it. Obama relies heavily on the input of advisers and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
If Obama says “Do it,” and someone says “Yes sir,” then the order they pass down is legitimate, since that originating military officer is legitimate. That is where the trail begins, and where one must not question authority when the order in and of itself is reasonable and constitutional.
Whether Obama is ineligible or not, discipline must be maintained within the ranks of the military. Otherwise, you would have yahoos from here to eternity questioning every single thing they were told to do.
Maybe it’s just a dream, but, if it ever got as far as SCOTUS, there’s an obvious argument that the two juices, er uh, justices appointed by 0 would have to recuse themselves because the implication behind the case is that their appointments would be void as well. Since they have a direct, personal interest in the decision, they are ethically required to recuse.
That would leave a ratio of 5:2 in favor of the conservatives or 4:2:1 if you consider Kennedy to be a wildcard.
She is the conveneing authority in the court, and she is stateing that her court can not allow the opening of Obamas records because that might cause embarrassment to Congress, not solely because Mr. Lakin is not entitled to them. If so, then Mr. Lakin has been denied a fair trial from the start. Period.
Congress's embarrassment, in part or whole, is being weighed against a mans right to evidence in his trial, with his freedom hanging in the balance??? That, in my opinion is a travesty of justice.
This is blowing my mind. How this could not go to the supreme court is the big question. How will they avoid this?
This Judge may not be doing any thing wrong. In effect, What she did do, in my opinion, is tell the world that she can not serve justice for Mr. Lakin because the Congress is her master, and it is in their realm to provide justice in this particular case.
Mr. Lakin, in my opinion, now has injury and standing for a hearing in the Supreme court the moment he is convicted or punished in anyway.
Instead they focus on and run wild with an anonymous tweet that states an opinion that the judge was concerned about embarrassing Congress.
Unbelievable. They're not interested in the truth.
(But just case anyone is interested, the judge ruled that the records are irrelevant not embarrassing.)
His action to highlight support for veterans benefits, visit to Fort Bliss, talk about Iraq, etc??

He’s afraid they will kick his as$ out when he tries to do what he’s planning. He’s trying to get them on his side. He knows the majority of them can’t stand him. He sees that and it’s a problem. He fears them, he can’t beat them so he is trying to get them to be on his side.
this is not an impeachment. this is a question if this person, usurper is even a valid office holder.
Article II, Section 2 of the United States Constitution provides the original source of command authority to the President as Commander-in-Chief.
How very true. No one will accept the responsibility and no one wants to be held accountable. So what good are they? (Those in congress)
LOL! I wondered why they took so long.
That would leave a ratio of 5:2 in favor of the conservatives or 4:2:1 if you consider Kennedy to be a wildcard.
Excellent deduction! However, would it even get heard to begin with? I've my doubts, based in history.
The judge didn’t say any of those things.
I have to clarify, That is, he would have standing in a free country where law is the rule. When Sobarkah was sworn in, we may have lost that concept and tradition.
Memo to FReepers: there is no doubt that after-Birthers always spout non sequiturs and hide in the grey areas while standing on pin-heads; believe Obama is a natural born citizen despite his constant lying and the evidence to the contrary; seem to lack the understanding that the statists in government along with the Dems will lie for Obama.
We will see that their dishonest manifestations from many of these elected officials are going to get their heads handed to them this November.
who cares if they are embarassed? they were wrong to permit it.
Article II, Section 2 of the United States Constitution provides the original source of command authority to the President as Commander-in-Chief.
They needed cover as usual.
Yes it does, but not every order comes from the president, nor does it have to go through him.
Yeah, we’ve been holding our breath about this request for discovery. /s
Wrong. We told you long ago that Obama’s status is irrelevant to Lakin’s orders and that discovery of Obama’s records would be denied. And it was.
