U.S. military officials tell NBC News that the U.S. Army will court martial a lieutenant colonel who refuses to deploy to Afghanistan because he considers orders from President Obama to be "illegal."
Army doctor Lt. Col. Terry Lakin believes Obama does not meet the constitutional requirements to be president and commander-in-chief

It’s getting louder!
Poor guy. Won’t proof of Nobama’s birth have to be provided in order to convict LtCol Lakin?
Any lawyers out there (esp. military AGs) know if this gives the LtCol “standing” to discover the LF/BC?
“Army doctor Lt. Col. Terry Lakin believes Obama does not meet the constitutional requirements to be president and commander-in-chief”
Well they’ve already set the precedent of allowing that last officer to retire.
They will court martial him, discharge him, and remove his standing to challenge obama
That’s what I’m thinking. Discovery.
Are there any experts on military justice here, who can inform us about the evidentiary rules and whether there is a reasonable chance that this issue will be deemed justiciable?
No
Unfortunately the Military Judicial system is far different then civilian. He will lose in a split second and no mention of Obama will be allowed.
This officer’s actions seem to perfectly sum up one of the Leftists favorite pet phrases: speaking truth to power.
Funny how they don’t like it when used against their own.
He will but I believe He is going to toy with him for awhile before He destroys him.
So he’ll have to go back to being a surgeon and making money???
The real losers will be the troops that get hurt and need care.
Lieutenant Colonel Terrence Lakin yesterday returned to the Pentagon clinic where he has been stationed but this time he was met by his commander, Colonel Gordon Roberts, who read Lakin his rights and revoked his pass access to the building. Lakin’s computer is also reportedly being seized and the military case for his court martial being prepared.
Nope!
The military can NOT court martial him without the benefit of "discovery" or the ability to call any witness which can exonerate him--not that they won't try, considering that Gates is a 1st class, sycophant, Dear Leader, butt boy!!!
An honorable man who truly loved this country would have put this to rest ages ago.
But then again we know Obama is anything but an honorable man, and has proven time and again he hates this country.
