I read your posts and thought you laid out the case with eloquence, power and decisiveness. I care profoundly whether Obama is Constitutionally qualified or not, and I agree that the pols and judges have failed us miserably. However, I think it’s understandable that we are wondering who Obama’s father is. LTC Lakin’s judge reignited that question by stating, in so many words, that the revelation of Obama’s BC would be ‘embarrassing’ to him.
What a weird, inane thing for a judge to say. On what did she base this bizarre statement? No one knows. Can you really blame us for wondering if it could be connected to Obama’s father, and to the cultish narrative O has built up around it? What if even that is a lie? Of course we’d like to know, and since almost all the relevant records are sealed off and out off limits, we speculate.
I do think it’s telling that the judge never intimated there were no eligibility issues. She merely claimed hers was the wrong venue in which to resolve them. If you believe her excuse, then it would be like taking a broken arm to the pharmacy, and being told that is not the place to have the bone set. In no way is the pharmacist denying the medical emergency, just advising the patient to head for the hospital.
[I think Lakin’s judge should have pursued the issue, incidentally. If she knew enough about the BC to pronounce it ‘embarrassing’, then she was supposedly privvy to the document, and should have resolved the matter as opposed to stirring the pot with her silly ‘embarrassment’ comment.]

She said: “The potential for embarrassment from multifarious pronouncements by various departments on one question are uniquely powerful to ensure that courts-martial do not become the vehicle for adjudicating the legality of political decisions and to ensure the military’s capacity to maintain good order and discipline in the armed forces.”
Her statement had absolutely NOTHING to do with embarrassing Obama. She is talking about various branches of the government stepping on each other’s toes and overstepping their jurisdictions in issuing rulings on questions that are solely political.
Judge Lind was using the word “embarrasment” in a LEGAL context. The following definition is best applied:
“embarrassment” - extreme excess; “an embarrassment of riches”
overplus, plethora, superfluity
excessiveness, inordinateness, excess - immoderation as a consequence of going beyond sufficient or permitted limits
redundance, redundancy - the attribute of being superfluous and unneeded; “the use of industrial robots created redundancy among workers”
