Approaching apocalypse: Will Obama docs surface?
World Net Daily ^ | April 20, 2010 | Bob Unruh

Posted on 04/20/2010 8:02:29 PM PDT by Smokeyblue

The defense attorney for an officer refusing Army orders until Barack Obama documents his eligibility to be commander in chief has hinted that the president's proof of eligibility could come up during the course of the government's prosecution of his client.

"In the UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice), just as you would expect, criminal defendants have the process of the court, for subpoenas and depositions under the rules that are prescribed," attorney Paul Jensen said during an interview today on the radio show of G. Gordon Liddy.

Jensen was on the program with his client, Lt. Col. Terry Lakin, who posted a YouTube video inviting his own court-martial because he believes military orders under an ineligible president are illegal, and then posted a letter telling Obama that it's up to him to provide the proof.

"I'm not going to say what we are going to do other than we are going to do what you would want us to do," Jensen said.

He specifically avoided broadcasting any specific defense strategy for the case that is developing against Lakin – confirming that the officer was told in writing on Monday that he now has been "flagged" by the military and charges are expected to be filed soon.

The condition of “natural born birth” vis-a-vis eligibility for U. S. presidency requires that both parents be U. S. citizens.

“Lt. Col. Terry Lakin is a hero in my book.”

In my book as well.

It would appear that the UCMJ allows for just as broad a range of discovery as civil law:

"“Providing broad discovery at an early stage reduces pretrial motions practice and surprise and delay at trial. It leads to better-informed judgment about the merits of the case and encourages early decisions concerning withdrawal of charges, motions, pleas, and composition of court-martial. In short, experience has shown that broad discovery contributes substantially to the truth-finding process and to the efficiency with which it functions. It is essential to the administration of justice; because assembling the military judge, counsel, members, accused, and witnesses is frequently costly and time consuming, clarification or resolution of matters before trial is essential.” MANUAL FOR COURTS-MARTIAL, United States, RCM 701 analysis, app. 21, at A21-33 (2008) [hereinafter MCM].

“Hemenway said the message was that “he will shortly be court-martialed for crimes (specifically, missing movement and conduct unbecoming an officer) that for others has led to lengthy imprisonment at hard labor.”

Well they said he will be court martialed and will get hard labor. Well go for it Obama. If this man is facing ANY prison then the Congress vote count and other evidence will not be enough. The Doctor will be able to get more evidence.

My guess is Obama will back down further showing he is not eligble.

I don't think so, no. The whole USA voted for the same candidates in the 1860 election. Right - the CSA hadn't formed yet, so the Southern states would have voted for either Lincoln or Breckinridge - yes?!?

I was thinking 1864; that Lincoln wasn't on any CSA state ballots, obviously, even though they were/are states.

A military court is run by THE MILITARY. Oblama is the Commander in Chief of the MILITARY. Guess what? He just tells them to forget about it and they will. It's called chain of command and there is nothing in this world that can usurp it. The ONLY way Oblama is going to be removed from office other than voted out in 2012 is if the Supreme Court saw some reason to question his eligibility. That just isn't going to happen.

Let’s see. My judgement is that this effort to see the documents comes to a dead end. Your judgement is that I’m an Obama Soros troll whose been here since Aug. 2000 just waiting for this opportunity. Okay call Jim and ask him to ban me.

Really? Well thanks for the info then!

Anyway, the point I’m trying to make is that can a major party candidate NOT run in all 50 states?

The article mentioned that his commanding officer told the LTC that he may be facing hard labor. They are saying he will be court martialed but because of discovery I bet they back down.

If they back down then we know Obama is NOT eligble. Every one of these cases just piles on more evidence to the military that this guy is an usurper.

It’s not that the military will refuse to request documents to prove eligibility, it is that is yet another case will highlight the fact that what’s-his-name once again refuses to humble himself by providing documentation of his birth including his parent’s names and their citizenship status at the time of his birth.

All in all, if he is indeed eligible, a $12 official certificate detailing the standard information would score huge points for his credibility. But at this point anyone with half a brain knows he is hiding information and furthermore one can reasonably speculate he has eligibility problems.

You have convinced me. We are history. (Toast). We cannot even uncover the truth by the sacrifice of a brave soldier. Legal mumbo jumbo has a chilling effect on hope for a brighter day. At the SC, the only reflective concern is the commerce clause, the other parts of the document can be rolled for the toilet.

Then the judge is abdicating his responsibility. As the Supreme Court has. Scalia told my sister, when she asked why they hadn’t accepted any of the cases: “If the electorate don’t care about it, why should we stick our necks out?”
