Thanks for posting that.
Even more here :
Say hello to Obama.
(33) Plaintiff points out that there was another time in United States history when officers of the military were forced to make a choice whether to follow the central government or their consciences. That time in United States history was in 1861 when some of the finest officers of the United States Army felt that they and their constitution had been betrayed by the central government, and that is how Mexican War heroes Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee, among so many others, became the leaders of the Confederate States of America.
(34) There were no lawsuits filed at that time—5 U.S.C. §702 and 42 U.S.C. §§1983-1988 had not yet been enacted. But the public interest is served by permitting Army officers to seek judicial protection and assistance when they question the legitimacy and authority of the commander-in-chief with regard to moral and constitutional issues.
(35) There are no “competing” governments now—no seceding states, however over 30 states have either passed or considered the bills of Sovereignty lately, which can be a step towards secession and a sign of vast dissatisfaction with the Federal government and the President.
(36) In historical hindsight it is easy to say the Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee hurt their own states of Mississippi and Virginia by supporting secession.
(37) In historical hindsight it is easy to say that even the pro-slavery cause might have been better served by acquiescence under Abraham Lincoln, who (absent secession and civil war) lacked any realistic legal power, as President in 1861, to interfere with slavery in any state or territory where it already existed.
It was the most complete report on this issue I've seen so far in the general public media. Progress is being made.
Thanks for the post. Most enlightening. I’ve got some more reading to do on this issue, it appears.
It’s time to take back the country. Let’s start with this critical Constitutional issue.
It would be interesting times if, military wide, the personnel said we demand proof or we will refuse any further orders from Obama.
Yikes! This could get hot really quick now!
Just a question. When might this case proceed?
Rescinding his orders is just a convenient way
for them to now say he “does not have standing”.
The lying usurper undoubtedly exerted improper command influence and revoked the orders for Maj. Cook to deploy to Afghanistan. This is the strongest of circumstantial evidence that HE CANNOT WITHSTAND DISCOVERY MOTIONS!!!! Cook’s commanding officers have GOT to be asking how they can possibly maintain discipline and order!!!!!
I don’t know the answer. It IS fascinating that the orders were canceled though!

This might spread like wildfire throughout the ranks. If people don’t like their orders, they may begin challenging them! WHEW! As they say - it’s gonna be hot tamale!
