Won’t proof of Nobama’s birth have to be provided in order to convict LtCol Lakin?

Not a chance.

Garbage, he in doing his duty. No, he is not putting his life on the line in combat but he is putting his liberty out there. We have a right to know who the POTUS is and where his loyalties lie, our freedom is at stake here. The only information we have on obumber is what he released in his books. This hero is the only one with courage to up to this fraud being imposed on us by congress and the msm.

Yikes, the doctor being sentenced to Leavenworth and still not finding anything doesn't do our side any good.

"Not a chance."

Based on what?

[kbennkc]

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!!!

I see you're a vet , ever practiced law ? Ever sat on court martial jury ? This guy is toast and as close to a deserter in time of war as you can get .

Queen Esther?

Yes. Her uncle Mordecai informed her that all the Jews, including herself, were condemned to die by the decree issued on the advice of the wicked Haman. She, being in a position to try to persuade King Ahasuerus to overturn the decree, was persuaded by her uncle, who said, "It may be that you were born into the kingdom for such a time as this."

This is a similar circumstance. Esther made up her mind to petition the king, at risk of her life, saying, "If I die, I die."

I have sat in on court martial as a witness. You really have no clue of what you are talking about.

“We start,” Justice Douglas wrote for the Court, “from the premise that the rights of citizenship of the native–born and of the naturalized person are of the same dignity and are coextensive. The only difference drawn by the Constitution is that only the ‘natural born’ citizen is eligible to be President.”

There is a difference between a native born and a natural born.

A native born can have one US citizen parent. A natural born must have both parents US citizens.

A witness ? And you want to say that I have no idea ! You have a hell of a sense of humor . We need more clowns like you in these trying times . Thanks for the relief .

[JoSixChip]

As I’ve stated before, if this goes to a court martial he will get the opportunity to make his case in front of a jury of his peers, period.

I’m hoping you have a better argument then calling me a clown.

The American Patriot Foundation has set up a defense fund to pay for Lt.Col. Lakin’s legal costs.

Stand Up Or Be Stood On!It’s our choice.

[steve86]

So he’ll have to go back to being a surgeon and making money???

I'll just bet the state(s) pull his licenses to practice after a Court Martial and bad discharge. Unfortunate.

[bert]

Poor guy? he is winning.

He has brought the matter to resolution in a court, a military court where the Commander in chief can be forced to prove credentials.

[freekitty]

He has a right to know.

[kbennkc]

He will get his case heard by a panel of officers sworn upon oath to follow the judges instructions . the judge will instruct them , the defendant is obligated to follow an order that appears legal on its face or when it appears to be lawfully given and not with hold his compliance until some mystery is resolved . It requires only a majority to convict . Happy trails . Period .

There is a difference between a native born and a natural born.

Justice Douglas's quote has nothing to do with a distinction between "native born" and "natural born." It is discussing the distinction between "native born" and "naturalized" (i.e., one who is not born a citizen, but becomes one later).

Well, if nothing else I hope it wakes up some more people to the issues of Osama Obama’s NBC status. You are brave soldier LTC Larkin. Godspeed.
