A U.S. Army Reserve major from Florida scheduled to report for deployment to Afghanistan within days has had his military orders revoked after arguing he should not be required to serve under a president who has not proven his eligibility for office. His attorney, Orly Taitz, confirmed to WND the military has rescinded his impending deployment orders. "We won! We won before we even arrived," she said with excitement. "It means that the military has nothing to show for Obama. It means that the military has directly responded by saying Obama is illegitimate – and they cannot fight it. Therefore, they are revoking the order!" She continued, "They just said, 'Order revoked.' No explanation. No reasons – just revoked."

God Bless thoughts and prayers sent your way!
For the answer to that, maybe we should ask thos who have already done so, or tried.
One point you forgot. The whole premise of this case was that the orders Cook received were not legal orders due to his CIC not meeting constitutional qualifications. Since this wasn't resolved.....therefore.....any REVOKED orders are also not legal orders and his case can continue to move forward............UNTIL the issue of Obama being a LEGITIMATE CIC is resolved..............
exactly alot of people are playing knowitalls they best shut up and learn the facts before they speak.
Well-reasoned argument. Thank you for sharing that.
“So?...Why aren’t don’t other lawyers “man-up” and give this little brave lady a hand? “
They are cowards.
Thank you for your service. You’re a HERO!
His supporters are indeed short-sighted. They apparently can't be bothered to look past their opposition to Obama, and see the larger implications of soldiers filing suit over their deployment orders, and deciding whose orders they will and will not follow.
Politics these days, they're a' shallow...
Yup.
Why - you think he'll change his mind?
Dear freeper(s) concerned: I don't think this is a smart or admirable move.
There :~)
Are you kidding??? This guy is an extreme patriot! He has risked his liberty, fortune, and sacred honor!
This guy actually had the b@lls to do what thousands of his comrades-in-arms wanted to but they valued their careers too much to do so!
This is the crack in the dam; the camel's nose under the tent; it only gets better from here!
Seems to me that unless the deployment order came directly from 0bama himseelf or an 0bama appointment, then despite the Major’s good intent, he is guilty a failing to follow the orders of as superior officer.
I have absolutely no doubt that his deployment orders have been revoked, not because “he won,” but because he is about to get a crash course in the military justice system. Seems to me that he ought to find a real lawyer real fast who has extensive experience with military law and the Code of Military Justice. And I hope that his current lawyer has paid her malpractice premium.
OMG... I thought this was Tin Foil Hat stuff. OMG... I’t is real!!!!!!!!!!!
“It is more like that character in “The Princess Bride” who squared for a duel, then turned and ran away.”
...and only slightly less than getting into a land war in Asia.
ding... ding... ding... we have our winner...
Ch..ch.. chilling .... lump in throat.
No... I think it’s common courtesy to ping posters you’re talking about. You compared the man to a Code Pink/Soros tool. He might want to defend himself against such slander.
Seriously, is it possible to trace the origin of the revocation of the order? Did it come down through the chain of command all the way from the CIC, or did it start with one of his protective minions?
It starts on the Internet (Free Repulbic, Drudge, etc.), then moves to talk radio (Rush, Laura Ingrahm, Hannity) then print (Tabloids, NY Post, etc.), then cable (Fox, then MSNBC, CNN,), other print (WaPost, NY Times) and then finally the Networks (NBC,CBS,ABC).
But it would make it all the more interesting ... and bizarre. After all, if the Army rescinded the order, what is going to make any subsequent or previous orders any more valid?
in other words, how is the Major's reason for refusing the order actually going to be addressed. Logically, it cannot NOT be addressed. Because if it is not addressed, many more officers and men could come forward and refuse deployment on the same grounds. In other words, as National Guardsmen, they might be bound to follow their governor's orders, but not the Commander in Chief's?
And then why object to only deployment orders? If the President is ineligible, no Federal military order can be valid, from an order to make an amphibious assault on an enemy island to the kitchen duty roster in a nationalized unit.
And since the Major is a National Guardsman, what is the Governor's role in all this? Can (and more important, WOULD) a governor refuse to mobilize his state guard on grounds of Presidential ineligibility?
Good luck as the point man on this thorny constitutional series of issues.
I don't know about lawyers in general, but the trial lawyers were big Obama donors.
