I doubt that most people would be shocked to learn that sometimes the influence of power can interfere with and even derail the course of justice in our legal system. Behind the scenes, a phone call from a powerful politician, or a corporate mogul often affects the actions or judgments of people whose personal ambitions they are in a position to help or hinder. Usually though, people giving heed to such considerations have enough sense to cloak what they do with words or actions that give their corruption at least the appearance of probity. Maybe its the tribute that vice renders to virtue. Maybe its nothing more than self-serving prudence (the mask of honesty that facilitates corruption.)
However, when court officers conclude that such hypocrisy is no longer worth the effort, things are pretty far gone. The video featured with this post focuses on the recent decision by Col. Denise R. Lind, the military judge charged with presiding over the court martial of Lt. Col. Terry Lakin. People who still care about American justice will recognize the facts as confirmation that America has passed ‘far gone’ and is approaching the point of no return.

All this hand waving about reporting to someones office is just a decoy.
Who the he** is Alan Keyes?
Good thing he was actually born in Hawaii then, eh?
Yeah, let’s just kick the clown out of office like any banana republic and declare a military dictatorship. Good plan.
I know what you would like the case to be about. What the case is about Lakin's refusal to obey the orders of three superior orders and to report for duty with the 101st. Read the charges. Link
All this hand waving about reporting to someones office is just a decoy.
All this nonsense about 'all orders originate from the CIC' is the smokescreen. And all your hand waving will not turn this court martial into something it is not.
But that would take actual effort and stuff.
It's easier just to post angry rants on the Internet.
Dream on. It is about Lakin's refusal to obey a legal order.
This reminds me of an article from the old Mad Magazine. It was a satire of the TV show "Highway Patrol" starring Broderick Crawford as patrolman Dan Mathews. Mathews had been chasing a crook and when he finally caught up with him, confessed he was powerless to arrest him. Why? Now that he'd been apprehended, the crook was at the roadside and therefore was no longer on the highway proper, and Mathews wasn't a member of the "Soft Shoulder Patrol" so the crook was outside of his jurisdiction.
So the crook laughs and gets off without an arrest.
Very cute! :-)
Once there exists sufficient evidence admissible in a court of law, it is possible that a DC judge will start the Quo Warrento process on application of an individual deemed an “interested party.” IMHO after the Refudiation of the "Democratic" party on Nov. 2nd 2010, there will be more political cover for the courts to act, given strong evidence. I only wish Lakin's lawyer could delay the court martial hearing for one month, untill after the election.
False. He's spent money only responding to lawsuits initiated by others. The responses have consisted of motions to dismiss, all of which eventually won.
Instead of hiding it, he's publically released the single document required to prove his eligibility.
How can a foreigner make a legal movement order?
Thank you!!!!
I am proud to be part of this move.
“...and I would vote for Bolton for just about anything.”
Me too. Count me in.
In a Military court martial the accused is granted a right to produce exculpatory evidence.
If its a “Good thing he was actually born in Hawaii then, eh?”
there is no problem for Obama to produce a Hawaii Hospital Long form Birth cerificate to prove it then, eh?
And no problem for the Hawaii born Obama to produce a Hawaii SSN.
Negative.
I respectfully submit that it is time for the President to be transparent on his records and submit to full disclosure.
Agree. Get your Congressman on it.
The military court/judge, in my opinion, is in error and jepordizes those serving and the entire country.
Imagine the chaos if every service member had standing to challenge the legality of every order issued by every senior in his chain of command.
Be glad our Framers gave us a political solution to our concerns.
*ping*
Please elaborate.
If Hussein was proven to be born on Mars, he would still be President until booted by Congress or unelected. LTC Lakin would still be guilty of refusing to obey the legal movement order of the President.
Dr. Alan Keyes....American Hero
