They will court martial him, discharge him, and remove his standing to challenge obama

So you think the military trial by Court Martial will be nothing but a show? That he won't be allowed to argue his contention that the orders he is disobeying are unlawful? That he won't be able to obtain witnesses (and documents) for his defense?

I don't think a military judge and Court are likely to go there. They may not in the final analysis agree with him, but they will give him every opportunity to defend himself. As required by both the 6th amendment and the UCMJ.

So you think that the United States Army will set itself up as the final arbitrator of just who is, and is not, the lawful President of the United States? If so, OK. The world needs all kinds.

If not, then, no, he won't get jack. The Congress of the United States examines the election results, and decides who was lawfully elected President. If the Army refuses to second guess Congress, and it will, then LTC Lakin is SOL. The evidence Birthers seek won't be relevant to any issue the Court Martial will adjudicate, and the defense has no right to conduct discovery concerning irrelevant matters.

Folks, there is a reason why competent attorneys, like Mark Levin, who threatened to sue if Congress "deemed" that Obama Care had passed, without taking a vote, don't support Birtherism.

And it is not that they have all been bought off.

I appreciate LTC Lakin's many years of service. I hope he is independently wealthy, and if not, I hope the Birthers who convinced him to toss away his pension on a, what's the word?

A really futile and stupid gesture?

Yeah, that it, will pass the hat, and raise enough money to make up for his lost pension and health care.
