brave heroes who are trying by legal means to save our country

Except that what Lakin is doing isn't legal. That's why he'll be prosecuted for disobeying orders.

What's sad about this situation is that Lakin has been duped into believing that some Internet rumors are facts. I read his letter on American Thinker explaining his reasons for his actions. Unfortunately, some (not all) of the facts he cited as evidence are not facts at all but rather reguritated talking points from the birther narrative. He's putting his career and retirement benefits on the line without checking his facts.

Lt Col Lakin may be mistaken in his belief that he will be able to subpoena Obama’s birth records to defend himself.

But I have difficulty understanding how any rational and intelligent person could possibly believe that Obama is constitutionally eligible to serve as President. He clearly is not. Apart from the likelihood that Barry was born in Mombasa, Kenya, his father at the time of his birth was quite certainly a citizen of the British Empire.

The only argument I can see that might possibly convince an honest judge is that Obama’s eligibility is a political matter to be decided only by Congress.

Yes Buckeye, that some of his claims, while they should concern us all, are not supported by facts in evidence is what concerns me. That about 90% of the postings here show the same ignorance concerns me less because these could be trolls. But anyone who is interested in our Constitution and the intent of our framers knows that there is no doubt that natural born citizens are “born in the country of parents who are its citizens.” That Lakin led with doubts about hidden birth certificates suggests that something is wrong. Obama told us he was born a British subject, a dual citizen, patently ineligible. Obama opened with a direct challenge to the Constitution and no one objected. We are still a government of the people, until we are no longer willing to insist on the primacy of our Constitution, by whatever means. We are in the middle of a coup.

That we had a chief justice under FDR who tried to do what Obama has thus far managed to do, Charles Evens Hughes running against Woodrow Wilson, shows that chicanery at the highest levels is not unusual. Ironically, a future AG under FDR wrote the eloquent analysis supporting the ineligibility of Hughes. Then, Hughes wrote the decision in Perkin v. Elg which referred to Minor v. Happersett, confirming the Vattel definition - “born in the country of citizen parents.” Hughes, like Obama and Chester Arthur, had a British citizen for a father.

Is it all a game played by the elite? The Constitution keeps the serfs feeling secure enough to produce the wealth which a cabal oversees? The Constitution is being undermined, whether or not our legislature or our conservative media will even discuss the issue. The issue is weakening the influence our conservative voices have. Mark Levin endorses an AG for California who will challenge Orly Taitz, but doesn't have the courage to name her. We will see if this candidate will answer the simple question “What is the Constitutional definition of natural born citizen?” If he vacillates, we should pay no attention, in spite of all the resources he will no doubt garner.
