Officer's defense team demanding Obama docs 'I can't think of a single reason why the judge would take the government's position'

August 13, 2010

By Bob Unruh © 2010 WorldNetDaily

The key defense attorney for an Army officer being put on trial for refusing orders he views as suspect because of the possibility Barack Obama is not eligible to be commander-in-chief is demanding documentation from the president.

On the G. Gordon Liddy radio show today, Paul Rolf Jensen said the request for "discovery" in the Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin case – the access by the defense to documentation in the government's possession that could help its case – is being submitted.

Jensen had been asked whether there is a legal basis for denying a defendant on trial on criminal charges legitimate access to documentation that would prove his case.

"We are today officially requesting that discovery," Jensen said. "If the government refuses to give it to us, then we will, a week from today, file a motion to compel discovery.

"I can't think of a single reason why the judge would take the government's position," he said.

The controversy stems from the Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, which states, "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President."

Complicating the issue is the fact that besides Obama's actual birth documentation, he has concealed documentation including his kindergarten records, Punahou school records, Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, passport, medical records, files from his years as an Illinois state senator, Illinois State Bar Association records, baptism records and his adoption records.

They need evidence that he didn’t refuse to deploy, because that’s the only evidence relevant to his case.

"Even military officers above the rank of bird colonel are POLITICAL animals, and do what they're told by the ruling class."

About half of them are. The other half are warriors. Remember all those generals Bush fired? He put warriors in their place and delegated authority to those in the field. There weren't ass-kissing or affirmative action promotions under Bush. He wanted real facts.

"Here’s a thought - someone “occupy” the White House while he’s off on his ten day vacation."

He is a Third World President. So the military must take over and immediately announce new national elections. On April 15th. Primaries in the 50 States can begin immediately as they choose their day. Then the military leaves April 16th.

If the office of the President is not at the top of our chain of command, why did they have us memorize the entire chain while I was in basic training...all military orders run down the chain of command...also it is emphasized that an “unlawful order not only should not, but MUST not be followed”

It is at the top - nobody said otherwise. What was said was not about who is or is not the supreme military commander of US forces.

What was connoted is that the disobeyed order in question may not have come from Zero but instead Lakin's CO.

Thank you for reminding me. When I went throught Navy Basic training in August 1972 I had to know the chain of command all the way from the Chief over me to President Nixon...with the CNO ADM Aumwalt, SECNAV, and SECDEF in there.

They should start adding to the " Where is the Birth Certificate " bill boards, the question to the citizens.

Here is the question that should be asked on those bill boards..

The text should go like this:

( A free, true, honest American would gladly show his proof of birth in the United States of America.
A honest, true American President would be honored to show his cridentials of eligiblity, why then ? has Obama spent over $ 2 million to fight against the campaign to get him to release his birth certificate and other documents....

Obama ? where is the Birth Certificate ??? )

Joseph Farah ?? that is what you should be putting on your bill boards.
I know it would cost more to put more letters on the bill boards, but, the impact of the message would be greater.
