Army Birther Doc’s Lawyer: ‘Mounting Evidence’ Obama an Illegal Alien (Barf Alert)
Chattah Box ^ | May 10, 2010 | "Sue"

This is just plain nuts. Lt. Col. Terry Lakin, a highly-decorated Army surgeon, with 18-years of service behind him, is willingly throwing his career and reputation away, because be believes in the birther conspiracy nonsense that President Obama is not a natural born citizen. The Army has instituted court martial proceedings against him for refusing to obey deployment orders to Afghanistan, which Lakin says are illegal orders from an illegal alien. The birther doctor appeared on CNN’s Anderson Cooper’s 360 program Friday evening with his lawyer. And the interview soon turn heated, as Cooper attempted to inject some fact-based reality into the conversation.

Lakin’s lawyer Paul Jensen, obtained by the birther conspiracy groups American Patriot Foundation/Safeguard Our Constitution, continually jumped in to answer Cooper’s questions posed to Lakin. The basis of Jensen’s arguments all center on his rejection of Obama’s Certificate of Live birth issued by the state of Hawaii. He contends it’s not proof of Obama’s birth in the United States, because it’s merely an “abstract” of the original document on file. Lakin through his lawyer, is demanding to see the original document.

Jensen couldn’t explain Obama’s two birth notices in local Hawaii newspapers. And he refuses to accept the determination made by the Republican governor of Hawaii, who examined the original birth certificate on file, declaring it valid.

Despite all of the evidence to the contrary, Jensen falsely declared there was “mounting evidence” that Obama is an illegal alien.

When Cooper asked Lakin if he believes that all members of the military from Hawaii are also illegal aliens and not eligible to serve, he mumbled something about the President being required to be a “natural born citizen”

After Jensen continued to jump in with his birther conspiracy theories, Cooper asked: “Can the colonel not talk for himself? The guy’s an adult.”

Finally, Lakin offered a general response, explaining why he is subjecting himself to a court martial:

“It’s a fundamental of the Constitution, and my oath of office is to the Constitution, and I believe we need truth on this matter.”

The remainder of the interview is being shown tonight. What a truly sad and pathetic spectacle.

Sounds to me like a good lawyer who would rather his client not talk...

I’m sick and tired of hearing about the birth notice(s) in the newspaper(s).

NOTICES IN NEWSPAPERS DON’T QUALIFY ONE TO BE POTUS.

Having to resort to them as “evidence” only serves to expose the weakness of their position.

He *is* throwing his career away...but I can see why he might not care about his “reputation”.He doesn’t have a prayer of prevailing in this case even if he’s 100% correct (which certainly seems possible).When Hussein leaves office in ‘13 or ‘17 the Colonel will just be an asterisk in the history books.

I would not even call myself a doubter. I just want the matter cleared up. Invoking privacy laws in the case of proof of eligibility for public office is illogical.

The courts in Indiana disagree with your legal interpretation.

http://www.in.gov/judiciary/opinions/pdf/11120903.ebb.pdf

I don’t know if it has made it to a decision in any other court. The US Supreme Court, given a chance to rule in Dec 2008, did not.

Since we all know husseins daddy was KENYAN does that not pretty much settle the “Natural Born Citizen? question?

One would think. But too many want to drag this out long enough so he'll have all his little stooges on the supreme court and there's no longer elections so he can declare himself THE ALMIGHTY ONE (all hail!).

The newspaper birth notices indicate Hussein is NOT a Natural Born Citizen, as does his own book.

Oh, give it a rest. It is possible to question Obama’s birth certificate AND think Orly Taitz is a barking moonbat. You should try to make yourself feel more comfortable.

If Obama was born in the USA, then his stay in Indonesia as a child could not rob him of US citizenship.

“Despite all of the evidence to the contrary”?

There is no evidence to the contrary, you dipstick!

The libs have a long history being wilfully ignorant regarding military affairs. Not only does Lakin, as an officer, have the right to question the "lawful" nature of his orders, he also has the responsibility and duty to do so. An enlisted man swears an oath to obey his superiors up to and including that of the President. Officers swear an oath to faithfully uphold the tenets of the Constitution itself. Without this balance in power, the military becomes nothing more than a tool of the executive branch of government. The libs should understand how dangerous that scenario would be ... but like I say, they are wilfully ignorant when it suits them. Lakin is a true patriot that understands his oath. Hopefully his courage will spark a fire among his peers.

I agree, she's a lunatic.

The loons are the ones who suffer from Orly Taitz disorder on the brain syndrome.

Hear, hear! In fact, if they are real, neither one states his name or where he was born. For all anyone knows, they could be the announcements for Steven Obama born in Oslo, Norway.

Bush revealed absolutely everything down to the last tiny surgery and his parking tickets

Yes, he even laid out his military records in a room for the loony moonbats on the left inside the media to examine for 2 days.

The de facto Commander-in-Chief (the head leftist) doesn’t know what a squad is, can’t pronounce “corpsman” and probably didn’t register for Selective Service.
