Battle-scarred judge says Lakin decision ignores Constitution

The military judge who curiously noted without explanation that uncovering evidence about President Obama's birth records could prove "embarrassing" and denied an officer the right to obtain potentially exculpatory evidence in a court-martial simply has forgotten the Constitution, the supreme rule of the United States.

So says Judge Roy Moore, who battled the politically correct climate as chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court a decade ago and ultimately was removed from office by a state panel that refused to review the constitutionality of a federal court order.

"Lt. Col. Lakin has every right to question the lawfulness of the orders of the commander in chief. He's not only the commander in chief, he dictates the whole war effort, as shown by the recent firing of [Gen. Stanley McChrystal]," Moore said.

It doesn't matter, he said, that orders come from a colonel, or a general or even the Pentagon.

Thanks for the ping. These corrupt judges who say American citizens have no standing in determining whether their Present is eligible for the Presidency or like this one who says that the defendant cannot present a defense, are undermining our whole Republic.

I hope that someday VERY soon they will be held accountable whether in the very weak response of impeaching them and revoking their law licenses or in the stronger response of trying them for treason.

We (the Allies in WWII) forced the Nuremberg trials of the Nazis and determined then that no soldier is required to carry out an illegal order. It went beyond that. It lead to a requirement that ordinary soldiers NOT follow illegal orders or be open to prosecution (Calley).

Now the people in charge in our country are reasserting the Nazi's military structure that you MUST follow orders, legal or not. However, this will not protect our soldiers from being prosecuted if they follow orders the political class doesn't like. It stinks on ice and more people are sickening of the stench every day...

/Agree.

The strangest thing about this whole mess is the obstinate refusal of Obama to open these records to whomever is interested in seeing them. The President’s birth certificate going public should not be a huge matter of privacy that needs millions in legal defense to cover up.

And if you ask me, a conviction in a court martial gives plenty of standing as an “interested party” to see the vital record.

This whole thing gets more idiotic daily. Lind must be frightened and wants to pass it up on appeal. I don’t blame her in a way since not everyone had the bravery Lt Col. Lakin is demonstrating.

Statement of Fact: Obama was not born in the US

If you define "fact" as an assertion that has never been proven or corroborated by any credible source with first hand knowledge. (The well known charlatans don't count as credible.)

[American Constitutionalist]

For the government to influence all government and the branches of the military to lie, and to keep a lie hidden , to not up hold the Constitution, and to keep it’s integrity intact, is the beginning of the breakdown of the whole system and government.

[Red Steel]

LTC Lakin could take down the whole illegitimate Obama regime.

[reasonisfaith]

I must say Judge Moore is a man worthy of respect.

Battle-scarred judge says Lakin decision ignores Constitution

Article, then # 9 , # 24.

How was he able to document the eligibility of the other Presidents he served under? Their birth certificates are hidden, too.

Wow, what an intelligent remark!

That really needs applause!!

But they didn't have dual or triple citizenship, and they were no illegal aliens or usurpers either!!!

[danamco]

All judges would would do real well in the NFL as “professional” punters!!!

The birth certificate question has validity because the public understands the document, even if they haven't taken the time to read the Constitution, or authoritative explainations of what its provisions mean. That Obama has provided a birth certification lacking most of the information provided by real birth certificates is easy to understand. Dr. Lakin and most who have taken any time to understand our framer's words know that Obama is illegitimate because his father was never a citizen, and, as over a dozen supreme court judges, the principle author of the 14th Amendment, and even Patrick Leahy, Clair McCaskill and Barack Obama have told us “Because he was born to American citizens, there is no doubt in my mind that Senator McCain is a natural born citizen,” said Leahy. “I expect that this will be a unanimous resolution of the Senate.”

Or Judge Michael Chertoff: “My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural-born American citizen,” Chertoff replied.
“That is mine, too,” said Leahy.

More authoritative is abolitionist Congressman John Bingham, who as Judge Adjutant General prosecuted Lincoln's assassins:

I find no fault with the introductory clause, which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural-born citizen;”

Obama is clearly in violation of our Constitution. Dr. Lakin apparently assumes that somewhere in our judicial system he may encounter someone with the courage to honor his or her oath to respect and defend it. We may see how much our “Ruling Class” is willing to forsake before more make the choice the Dr. Lakin made, and Congressman Nathan Deal made, and broadcaster Lou Dobbs made, to face the truth. Every U.S. Senator signed the resolution. SenRes 511 from April 2008. No Senator can fail to understand the implications of the definition stated more clearly, though not completely, to deceptively suggest that John McCain is a natural born citizen. No senator doesn't understand the Barack Obama does not meet the criterion.

For the moment, it is safer for public figures to ignore the Constitution. We will, I hope, remove every one of them, of both parties, from office, for failing to honor their commitments as officers of the court.

If any state, Arizona perhaps, would challenge Obama’s eligibility, the supreme court has original jurisdiction. Meanwhile, the crooks who silenced Scooter Libby knowing the truth from the beginning, who will now pull the same trick on Sheriff Arpio, comically called a “Justice Department”, along with crooked federal judges, will prevent law suits challenging Obama’s eligibility from reaching the final appeals court. What does Arizona have to lose? Obama is now ceeding part of Arizona to drug cartels. Those drug cartels' sources include Afghanistan and Pakistan, whose agents cross our borders at will. Ahmadenijad, now a nuclear threat, iss now a partner to Chavez and Ortega. The team in the White house is abetting treason; rather than protect states, they deny them the right to defend themselves.

Said it yesterday, but I'll repeat it again.

Nothing will be done until Nancy is no longer the Speaker of the House. Both BO and Biden will be removed...Who ever is speaker will be our next President......Therefore watch carefully who the GOP puts in as Speaker.

ALSO, the blatantly off the wall comments made by the judge, that even a layperson sees as not based on legal precedent, is just a trigger to get the case appealed and sent to a higher court. If they ruled on the topic, chaos from the time of their ruling until the SCOTUS finally ruled with BO’s appeals would ensue. Better to let the plaintiff's appeal and the SCOTUS make a ruling that BO can't appeal. Justice will be swift and wide spread.

[upcountry miss]

Read your comments yesterday and again today. Sure makes sense. We can only hope!!!!!

[Kleon]

But they didn't have dual or triple citizenship, and they were no illegal aliens or usurpers either!!!

Lakin's argument all along has been that he can't serve until he sees Obama's birth certificate confirming his birth on U.S. soil. It doesn't have anything to do with dual citizenship (which has no effect on natural-born citizenship).

Big headline on the GLOBE this week...OBama IS a Muslim..... Located where everyone who leaves the grocery and local pharmacy can't help but read it! ((smile))

Actually laughed out loud when I saw it....We should all support GLOBE in all their activities!

[azishot]

You saw it, too? I was in the check out lane earlier this week and saw the lady in front of me buy a copy. I had a big smile on my face after seeing that!

[mlo]

So the only judge birthers can impress is one that was ejected from his own court for defying a court order.

Noted.

[hoosiermama]

A friend who works at the pharmacy told be a couple of weeks ago the have had to significantly increase the number of GLOBE on their shelf to sell. Guess it’s hitting a target! Expect BO numbers to go down even more. (So why doesn’t BO sue if it’s not true......DISCOVERY)
