Of course they do, and of course they replaced Lakin. But, he shirked his duty to these soldiers to pursue a mindless little legal challenge. His duty to these soldiers takes precedence to this political piece of theater. Soldiers need to attend to their duty and leave the political fights to others.

At least you acknowledge that it is not Lakin's fault for unnecessary suffering because he wasn't there. It is the many people in government who are guilty of and have shirked the oath to the US Constitution that they swore to uphold. Upholding the Constitution is their duty and it is the duty of soldiers to question order(s) that they believe to be unlawful.

He was misinformed.

No he wasn't. If a billion people say 2 + 2 = 5 doesn't make the equation correct. Obama the putative president of the United States, as the Commander in Chief, is the source of all military authority. If he occupies that office illegally, he has NO authority to give lawful orders as Commander in Chief. He derives his total authority and much of his legitimacy from the US Constitution.

centurion316 has been posting for nearly 10 years. Those inclined to post about military matters have seen many posts by him - enough to know he is the real thing.

Birthers were told 6 months ago that it would play out like this, and why. Back then, birthers claimed the military court would have to allow discovery, or that Lakin’s conviction would give him ‘standing’, or any of a number of other incorrect ideas.

The first, that a military judge would grant discovery, has been proven false today. That Lakin will gain standing will be proven false soon enough.

Lakin may be a fine doctor, but he wasn’t able to figure out the crowd he fell in with was using him. I ought to feel pity for Lakin, but I don’t. He has been an idiot listening to idiots, and now he’ll pay the price. And pathetic as Lakin is, the people who used him are worse.

The problem that I have with this assertion is that having been elected and sworn in without any challenge to his legitimacy, the only remedy now available is the impeachment process. Those who claim that discovery of his illegitimacy will render his entire Presidency moot are ignoring the Constitutional and legal realities. The Courts can't act, the FBI can't act, Barney Fife can't act. Only the Congress can act on evidence that he is ineligible for the office and that will never happen. Its not a perfect world.

He's not listen to you then. He may pay a "price" but so will this country and society. LTC Lakin has gone past just paying the "price" as the Obama illegibility issue transcend more than his career. A "price" that he is willing to pay.

You talk just like some of a Code Pinker dissing the families of the soldiers who died fighting the War on Islamic Terror. They refuse to see that war as having legit purpose ad so feel free to mock those who made the supreme sacrifice.

Likewise you see fighting for the truth about this traitor usurper Obama which could mmean losing a battle in a court and serving time, as meaningless. So you mock.

Has anyone told you what you are? Let me.

You are a craven mocker.

Delusional and uniformed? That would be you. Here is an example how correct I am:(news story about Obama Admin sending troops to the 'stan.)

You forgot paranoid. Yes, if you think some court, or some law enforcement agency, or prosecutor, is going to remove BO from office, then, delusional and uninformed. Unless you are a DU Troll.

So where is you update on your groundless speculation that some executive branch law enforcement agency, or prosecutor is going to remove BO from office. Who are you referring to? CIA? FBI? Postal Inspectors? (They -- no kidding -- have a reputation for being a hard nosed bunch of guys.) National Park Police? Treasury Agents? Men in Black?

You have both (you and the 'sin'turion1/2) used this line of reasoning on us now, that Lakin was used by some unnamed 'crowd', that he is somehow feckless. Will you now resort to the same crapfest the other turd is spitefully using, claiming Lakin is responsible for the death of honorable soldiers, the cause of mourning by the families of these soldiers? Are the talking points supposed to be followed this precisely? It gives away the agenda your handlers have. [See how easy it is to pose a cabal?]

Jim, how much longer will this sort of malignant insult methodology be tolerated at FR?

No, if it is determined that Obama was never president, then it becomes a criminal case against him. He could be ignored and Joe Biden can be sworn in a president. If he refuses to leave the White House's premises, removing him would be just as easy.

Only the Congress can act on evidence that he is ineligible for the office and that will never happen. Its not a perfect world.

They can go through the motions to save face... like they have any integrity or face to save, (LoL) but it would be a done deal if it was determined that Obama was not a president.

Too many Pilsners Pilsner - you inebriated? Who is on Obama's side and is just as wrong as he is. If anyone is a DU troll Pilsner it would be you and your cabal.

Yes it would be some court knucklehead. The ruling would come from the third branch of government the judiciary as in the Supreme Court. But you're in luck since they can evade the issue for lack of balls.

I appreciate the sentiment, but I can’t envision exactly how this would come to pass. We are talking about the government, after all. Who would bring the criminal action? Who would execute the arrest? Who would adjudicate? What would other government agencies and political goon squads do? Would they stand idly by?

I think that everyone would throw up their hands and say that the Constitution prohibits them from acting and stand by until the Congress decides to do something. There would be a hew and cry from the public, of course, and the press would claim that its only about sex; but nothing would happen until Election Day 2012. That’s when the opportunity will present and not before. Sometimes, the truth hurts.

“McInerny isn’t a judge and has no legal expertise.”


However, retired General McInerny CAN speak — as one who has commanded those with atomic powers at their disposal — to his PERSONAL AND EXPERT opinion: as to the importance of confidence in the chain of command, in such circumstances.

I don’t believe he was attempting to give legal advice, or take the place of a competent judge, do you?

Yes, I remember that, too. It hit me as so outrageous at the time but I thought it was a campaign staffer’s answer to the media about why he wouldn’t release his birth certificate. The word embarrassment is rarely used as a valid reason not to disclose information in a campaign but more often used after information has been disclosed.

I went down the trail of “embarrassment” recently to see what might embarrass Obama and found where he was embarrassed by Mama Sarah’s recent visit to Libya with her youngest son, Saidi Obama where they were lavishly entertained by President Gadhafi in his Tripoli Palace. It was reported that the US President used a harsh tone in conversation with his cousin about the trip.
http://blog.jaluo.com/?p=6211

Mama Sarah Obama was awarded a honorary Doctor of Letters by the Great Lakes University of Kisumu in May for her role in helping widows and orphans at her Kogelo village. Mama Sarah appealed to the public to dedicate their time and effort to ensuring that they take care of orphans and the vulnerable people in the society.

I believe her following comment may have opened the door to a truth that has not been widely considered. When Mama Sarah stated in 2008 she was in the delivery room in Kenya when he was born....NOT ONE OF US considered the question of who the mother was and she didn’t say who the mother was. It is worth thinking about because she seems to hold her own and is not subservient to Obama and she’s still alive!

“This is a show of blessing from God, since I have always dedicated my time to tend to the orphans. Even the US president passed through my hands,” added the grandmother.

I agree with you on this point. LTG McInerny was expressing a political opinion and he is not only entitled to do it, it is most welcome. That’s where this whole debate belongs, in the political arena, and not in the military justice system. I think that the judge pretty much sorted that out today.

What I am NOT is stupid enough to fight in a manner where only loss is possible.

The Code Pinkers are like birthers - they are blind to reality, and insist their rules are the only rules. Like a lot of birthers, they attack veterans and current military for obeying orders supported by the entire US Government. They thought GWB wasn’t a real President, and birthers say Obama isn’t legit. Right hand, meet left hand - birthers and Code Pink wackos are joined at the hip.

Legally, Lakin has no case whatsoever. Unfortunately, he chose to believe the folks like you - who applaud as HE goes to prison for YOUR ideas.

You are a coward. By your beliefs, just as Lakin doesn’t have to obey orders, you don’t have to obey tax laws with Obama’s signature - but I notice you are not going on YouTube and telling everyone how you refuse to pay taxes so you can gain ‘standing’ to get Obama’s birth records.

Nope. You hide behind Lakin and egg him on, secure in the knowledge that only HE will pay the price for your mouth!

Lakin, for all his faults, has his hat in the ring. You are a miserable spectator, cheering him on and knowing that he takes the blows while you watch!

If you believe Obama is not really the President, and all the laws he has signed aren’t really the laws, then LIVE it instead of getting gullible military men to destroy their lives on your anonymous Internet advise!

I'd watch out for the EPA...they're makin' a move for executive branch domination with additional plans to subjugate the legislative branch by declaring Congressional bathrooms as protected wetlands. I've seen the documents.
