New Defense Strategy Proposed for lt. col. Terrence Lakin (Maj.Gen. Paul E. Vallely)
ThePost & Email ^ | 9-14-10 | Maj. Gen. Paul E. Vallely (Ret.)

*snip*

Today’s statement relates specifically to the ongoing courts-martial of Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin.

September 3, 2010 – Upon receiving word that LTC Lakin would be denied any and all access to discovery and mitigating evidence needed to provide for a legitimate defense, a White Paper was prepared and released by The United States Patriots Union and The United States Bar Association, advising the Lakin defense team to immediately adjust its defense strategy in accordance with established history and law concerning Mr. Barack Obama’s constitutional authority as Commander-in-Chief.

In short, to drop the search for an insignificant birth certificate and focus on the right question at hand. A second White Paper was published last week.

We believe that there are only two potential outcomes of this courts-martial, and that both outcomes bring certain challenges. Our first priority must be to unite in defense of LTC Lakin in an effort to arrive at the best possible outcome for both Lakin and the nation.

*snip*

It is our opinion that the existing legal team representing LTC Lakin should be re-energized and reinforced immediately by a more experienced military legal team.

“There’s no other way to translate that other than natural born citizen.”

Bull. Try transliterating it: “The native, or indigenous...” Thus, if the Founders wanted to follow Vattel, they would have required the President to be a “native” citizen, not a “natural born” citizen. NBC follows the phrasing of common law, as the Supreme Court said in WKA...which you pretend they did not do, and which is why you will always lose.

Didn't McCrystal met with Baracka Hussein Abe Amama at Kastrup Airport last year "asking" for more troops in Afghanistan?

According to all the "keyboard" JAGs here, Admiral Mullen could easily have ordered 40,000 extra troops to be sent over without asking higher ups??

Wasn't Lt. Col. Lakin a part of of those 30,000 that finally were approved by the illegal alien C-i-C???

When Fundamentally Fair was there to keep things accountable, they stopped saying that the authorization didn’t have to come from the CINC or SecDef.

I posted an article which showed the deliberations regarding the troop request by McChrystal; Joe Biden never approved of the surge. According to the 20th Amendment Joe Biden is the only one who can “act as President” since Obama failed to qualify by Jan 20, 2009. And Biden did not approve the surge. The surge deployments and movements were coordinated within the computer system on the basis of a presidential directive that came from somebody BESIDES the only person the Constitution allowed to act as CINC.

I don’t agree with Congress’ analysis. I am pointing out, however, that the Congressional resolution staked McCain’s natural born citizenship status on the fact that both his parents were US citizens.

IOW, Congress screwed up the “born on US soil” requirement (arguing that it doesn’t matter), but they did get the 2 citizen parents requirement right.

Vattel said citizenship of the child naturally follows the citizenship of the father. The traits of citizenship at birth naturally follow the father. Just like a natural born athlete or natural born musician (or in Obama’s case, a natural born liar). The Supreme Court called this definition common law, although it was nearly and clearly a direct quote from Vattel. And though originally cited by Minor, it was quoted and never disputed nor redefined in WKA.

Why in the world would the democRAT Senators care a hoot about McPain's NBC status BEFORE the election, makes no sense whatsoever???

Only to deflect the even worse scenario of Baracka H. Abu Amama's NBC status and then ride the horse effectively on the Race Card not to be challenged by McPain and others. A very clever chess mate!!!

He deserves due process. And he’s not getting it.

Yes he is.

My understanding (and as always, I invite people to correct me if I’m misunderstanding) is that the brigade commanders are basically like a postman who delivers a letter from the IRS. If the letter he delivers is from somebody only PRETENDING to be the IRS, his being a genuine postal worker still can’t make that fraudulent letter lawful. Because he is only the messenger, his standing has no bearing on the lawfulness of what is in the letter that he delivered.

Your understanding is incorrect.

The order is the DECISION, and that was made by the CINC - implemented by the commanders immediately below him, and delivered to the individuals via the brigade commanders.

Why don't you read the charge sheet?

You're living up to your moniker. No one said Vattel was the law of the land; just that the Supreme Court used his definition of natural born citizen.

Not in a binding decision, no.

Vattel is used in context like a legal dictionary that the framers used so we can understand the terms they used in the legal context they viewed them from. There may be terms we use now that had a different context or meaning when the framer's wrote the Constitution. It isn't an end, but it is a means to an end, it gives the NBC argument (re two citizen parents) a legal base to start from.

But not a legal base grounded in U.S. law.

Also when at the same time you are an Indonesian citizen???

The claim that Obama was ever an Indonesian citizen is debatable. The laws in place in Indonesia at the time would seem to preclude that.

Really?

Ever seen the name Soebarkah??

On page 4 the name "Soebarkah" is listed below Obama's crossed out name. Kind of strange isn't it???

But with your bland-folders on, and distractions, just typically, hmmm!!!

Conclusion -- there are many good reasons why 60% of the U.S. now questions his birth status. Shame on anyone who speaks out against us "birthers" without doing a little research. What name do they deserve? We've been at this a long time and know what the heck we are talking about.

Vattel discussed European law. The Supreme Court used common law in determining the meaning of NBC, and did so at great length in WKA. Your refusal to face reality - the WKA decision and its long discussion of NBC, are why you lose every time. Someone who denies reality is a nutjob.

However, I’ve quoted WKA at great length to you, and you shut your eyes and pretend it doesn’t exist, so go on living in your fantasy. But fantasies will not help Lakin...
