Look, pal, I never said that Obama gave the orders to Lakin. I said that if Joseph Stalin had taken an oath to be POTUS and ordered the military to do combat operations, all the orders that were given to carry that out would be lawful, according to Lind.

And that IS what she said.

You’re a waste of my time.

"And that IS what she said"

That is absolute, total BS. If you think she said that, let's see a quote. I've read her opinion in full several times, and I've quoted from it here. You are lying. She said nothing like that

She said not a single word about whether orders coming from Obama would have been lawful. The orders didn't come from him, so the question of whether they would have been lawful if they had come from him was irrelevant to the issues in the court-martial, and she said that in her opinion.

You can say it as many times as you like, but a lie is still a lie. Col. Lind's opinion is available online. Have you even looked at it? If there's a quotation in it that supports your position let's see it. Otherwise -- BS. Nothing but pure, unadulterated BS.

If Joseph Stalin was elected to the Presidency by the majority of voters of the USA, IAW the Electoral College, and approved and accepted as such by Congress, and took an oath from the CJ of the Supreme Court,

and if he had gone to Congress and been given approval for combat operations, and Congress funded the costs of the war, then

yes, the orders that were given to carry that out would be lawful.

But your hypothetical is stupid.

You seem to be getting unduly angry about this mess.

Let me propose to you a hypothetical in a separate field. Suppose that a young man named Joe Stalin applies to his state licensing agency to take the test to receive a physicians license. Suppose that the licensing board fails to discover that young Joe is lacking some required prerequisite to take the test and he then takes the test, passes the test and is given a license to practice medicine in the state.

Suppose that "Dr. Stalin" then begins practicing medicine in a large hospital and after performing a relatively routine surgery writes an order that the patient should be given an important medicine at 7:00 p.m. that evening. Nurse Penelope is assigned that patient that evening. Nurse Penelope once dated Dr. Stalin and she knows that Dr. Stalin did not have all of the proper prerequisites to take his licensing test. She thus concludes that Dr. Stalin should not have been permitted to take his licensing test, that Dr. Stalin should not have received a license and that Dr. Stalin is not her mind a real doctor. Accordingly, when she learns shortly before 7:00 p.m. that "Dr. Stalin" has been treating the patient, she refuses to provide the patient with the prescription medicine ordered by Dr. Stalin. The patient does not die, but becomes temporarily very sick because administration of the medicine was delayed until after Penelope finds her supervisor and tells her supervisor that she won't comply with Dr. Stalin's orders (because in her mind he isn't really a doctor) and the supervisor later finds someone else to administer the medicine.

The supervisor then reports this incident to hospital administrators, who fire poor Penelope for what the hospital deems to be "just cause" as described in the termination provisions of her employment contract. Penelope then sues the hospital, claiming that there was no "just cause" for her termination because she could not in good conscience behave as though Dr. Stalin's orders were the orders of a real, qualified treating physician.

You be the judge.
