Behind the scenes, at many military bases across the country and around the world, a not-too quiet challenge is developing against Barack Obama and his questionable qualifications to be President of the United States.
Most FReepers are familiar with the ongoing civil litigation against Obama. Plaintiffs claim he is not constitutionally qualified to be president because he does not meet the legal description of a “natural-born citizen.”
Obama’s lawyers have never entered pleadings on the MERITS of the plaintiffs’ cases. They oppose the plaintiffs’ suits on the issue of “standing.” They claim the plaintiff’s do not have a right to sue. Generally, that “standing” claim is well-founded. Giving every citizen the right to sue the president would be a nightmare. Can you imagine George Bush defending 10,000,000 individual suits by Dems over the war in Iraq?
But recently, one plaintiff had a strong chance of being given “standing to sue.” The plaintiff was an Army Reserve Major, Stefan Frederick Cook, from the Tampa area. His call-up to active duty positioned him as a person who could demonstrate the likelihood of real damages if Obama was not a legally-elected president. Cook could be killed, wounded or even charged as a war criminal if Obama was not legally the president.
He sued, claiming Obama was not legally qualified to be President, not legally qualified to order him to do anything.
The judge was set to begin preliminary hearings when the government lawyers dropped a legal bomb. They canceled Maj. Cook’s orders for the obvious purpose of denying him standing. With Major Cook longer on activation orders, the case was moot and was dismissed by the judge.
This hugely significant legal surrender by the government was noticed by every lawyer in the country watching this issue. It also immediately became an enormous topic of conversation in every barracks in America. If Obama was willing to cancel one soldier’s deployment orders because of a court challenge to his right to be president, what would he do the next time someone raised the issue?
As a result, service members and lawyers began action immediately. It is believed that as many as 100 lawyers are preparing to file litigation such as Maj. Cook’s. This litigation would be in many courts across the country and put a huge strain on the Obama-DNC legal team. Do they cancel 100 sets of orders this week, only to face 1000 suits next week?
Even worse, sources close to some of the potential litigants tell me that at least four lawyers, including one very well known conservative Vietnam veteran-lawyer, are seeking enough clients so they can petition the court for the establishment of a Class of Plaintiffs in a proposed class action case. If that happens, then every military service member on orders for SWA would be covered.
At that point, Obama has no viable legal option. He has proven himself unwilling to try the case on its merits, and willing to cancel orders to avoid having to face discovery. How can he be POTUS and CINC if he cannot issue orders to the military he claims to command?
From there, every time Obama tries to act under color of law in any matter, military of not, someone sues and Obama’s action ceases.
This is an important turning point in a case of incredible constitutional and legal significance.
Why? You can't just throw out a charge of "mutiny" or "desertion" by saying: "Oh pish posh those sillies......"
I'd like to see your reasoning why you don't think the birth certificate "issue" is real if all these soldiers are nothing more than deserters.
Not to mention the fact that mutiny and desertion are two totally separate things, mutiny isn't always a bad thing.....
Wherever he was born, he was born after Hawii became a state... don’t think that was ever a question. Last time I looked at the map, Kenya wasn’t one of the 52 states...
Praise the Lord! thanks for your hard work Bender.
This is great news. Obama’s little maneuvre re: Cook has backfired right in his face as it ought to. No country like the United States with it’s Constitution can have a blank slate for President and he is beginning to look guiltier by the day.
I have NO doubt that the Thug is a complete FRAUD. He is so arrogant tho and up to now he has convinced himself that he can do and say anything he damn well pleases. He breaks the Constitution daily and it’s about time that the Courts stepped in and FORCED this issue. It’s about as Constitutional as you can get!! Brilliant!! CO
Then feel free to ignore the Obama bc threads from this point out. Repeating that you "don't believe it" ad nauseum isn't adding anything of value to the discussion.
Civies can’t get standing.
If you have an update ping list, please add me. You have my attention.
Obama can NEVER be a lawful President of the USA because his father was a BRITISH SUBJECT, and Obama was a BRITISH SUBJECT at birth. He can never be a NATURAL Born Citizen as require by the US Constitution.
I take it the US Constitution is important to you?
PING!!
That buttmonkey at CNN needs to read this and get himself the first clue of his life.
The best thing would be Unit Sized refusal of illegal orders. Legal action on mass.
Something BIG in the “0bama mystique” is a BIG LIE,
and these documents will out that lie.
It may not necessarily be his eligibility for president...
bump!
Mutiny or desertion would only apply if they said they won’t serve... regardless of the Birth Certificate situation. They’re simply questioning his authority at this point. And civilians have all been shut down for lack of standing, so that’s not really an option at this point.
This seems like the best way to get at the truth. I say “more power to them.”
These people are being sent to war by what could be an alien entity. If I were being sent, possibly to my death, to war by an Indonesian or Kenyan citizen, I would definitely object. Military personal take an oath to uphold the Constitution and protect the American citizens it serves. An alien president, who could very easily have loyalties to his home country, does not fit into this oath.
I believe the contrary. I think Freepers should overwhelmingly demand proof of citizenship by ANY president before we're subject to his/her authority. If anyone questions their citisensghip, those questions should be promptly answered on demand - especially for those in the military.
This is an important matter. Our next president could possibly be an illegal alien. After Oboma, who could stop it? A president has been set. The camels head is already in the tent.
Please add me to your ping list. I enjoy your behind-the-scenes posts.
This is good. Very good. It shouldn't be this hard to find out a presidents citizenship. This is just insane.
