OK, so make it a developmental item.
Sure, blame Obama for what the Birthers can't accomplish on their own.
They will have to make an example of one of these here shortly.
As stated previously, I’m convinced that orders in an ongoing war originate in Congress.
Navy & Coast Guard, Captain is O-6, elsewhere it’s “our” version of an LT (O-3).
JG, USCG retired
And if this goes to trial you're *certain* that the Presiding Officer would allow any of this? If so I'd suggest that you're pretty naive.
so, do you think a Court Martial will be covened?
I have no way of knowing.But I'd wager the clothes on my back that if it *does* take place the Captain will lose.
Not that I believe that she'd *deserve* to lose,mind you.
In Britain.
It's a simple principle: Citizenship status, including "natural-born" status, is a question of US law. Full stop. The laws of other countries are irrelevant. We don't ask whether the Republic of Panama considered John McCain to be a Panamanian citizen, and we don't give other countries the power to make someone ineligible to be our president by the stroke of a pen.
Has Apuzzo YET shown he has done due diligence of the British Citizenship laws as it pertains to a marriage that was Void Ab Initio???
I doubt Orly has as she can’t even seem to understand that she has to follow court rules when filing a case.
Heck, she can’t even understand she has to sign documents.
These days, I’m certain of nothing - other than death and taxes, and not in that order.
“Like Capone before him, no one wants to cross the dark thuggish soul from Chicago.”
A sad state of affairs.
IMO, her “alleged” refusal for deployment is a ruse.

Congressional candidate Tammy Duckworth works the phones at her campaign headquarters in Lombard, Ill. Since she announced her candidacy last month, the 1985 McKinley High School graduate has shown herself willing to work hard and speak her mind.

Illinois Army National Guard Maj. L. Tammy Duckworth sat in a wheelchair at the paper-strewn kitchen table in her suburban Chicago home doing what she seems to do better than most mortals: focusing totally on the task at hand.
She worked the phones for hours Wednesday as part of her effort to get herself elected to Congress reaching out to dozens of mayors, union officials and everyday voters.
Somehow, she’s able to stay focused and find humor simultaneously. She has a knack for instantly putting people at ease with what some call her disability the fact that she lost both her legs in Iraq 418 days before.
Pausing between calls, Duckworth noted that her high-tech artificial legs were in the closet “charging up.” What she called her “left stump” was propped up on the table.
“That’s my way of kicking back,” she said with an infectious laugh. “I know, the politically correct term is residual limb. But that’s just way too many syllables, and I figure it’s mine. I can call it what I want.”
Duckworth’s Iraq experience already is the stuff of American military lore.
On Nov. 12, 2004, her entire focus was on not losing consciousness while trying to safely land a Black Hawk helicopter. It had been blasted by a rocket-propelled grenade that exploded where Duckworth was seated. The maneuver was an impossible feat with two missing legs, a shattered right arm, and a multitude of other serious injuries.
Another pilot landed the helicopter. But Duckworth, not realizing how seriously she’d been hurt, kept her attention on the mission, passing out only when the Black Hawk was on the ground. Initially presumed dead, Duckworth remained unconscious for the next 10 days.
Her focus for the better part of 2005 included staying alive, undergoing intense therapy at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., and painstakingly learning to walk again on artificial legs.
She is on record as saying she’s determined to fly helicopters again.
Duckworth knows that political pundits are focused on her. As a Democratic candidate in a historically Republican district trying to win the House seat being vacated by retiring Republican icon Henry Hyde, her 6th District race is becoming a Democratic Party priority and a talking point among political heavyweights.
“Very rarely have I met a more impressive person than Tammy Duckworth,” said Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in an article the day before she announced her candidacy Dec. 18. “She just has the poise and exudes the type of character that I think would make her an astounding public servant.”
Duckworth is happy to point out that she and Hawai’i-raised Punahou graduate Obama have “a kama’aina connection.”
Both were born outside the country Obama in Indonesia, Duckworth in Thailand and graduated from high school in Honolulu Punahou and McKinley, respectively.
“Will Hoover-enemy of the state!”
There is no doubt that she received the e-mail.
In this instance, injunctive relief (TRO) was all that was sought.
Even if this were a criminal case, there's no where near "probable cause" about Obama's birth to issue a search warrant. LEO have to affirm under oath that a crime was committed, or "facts" support a conclusion that a crime was committed.
Although it can very a little from circuit to circuit, generally the court requires that in order for a preliminary TRO to be issued..."(1) a substantial likelihood of success on the merits,". The bench ruled pretty convincingly why that and several other criteria for issuance didn't even come close to being met.
