Watada switches lawyers for court martial

The lawyers have already asked for a continuance of an April 23 deadline to submit written motions, Kagan said.

Watada and the antiwar crowd are milking this for all it's worth, he's a real bum.

[jazusamo]

Ping!

Most judges make the lawyers certify that the change in counsel isn’t being made for purposes of delay. I wonder if this court has the same requirement.

[jazusamo]

I don’t know if that’s required in the UCMJ or not but I would think so. Since being involved on the threads regarding the Haditha Marines I’ve found there are differences.

Send him to Gitmo and have him share a cell with a terrorist. Maybe Watada will come to understand why we fight.

[jazusamo]

That sounds like a good plan to me, Red. I just can’t believe the way this thing is being strung out.

[IslandJeff]

Heya, Bay.

That’s not our former governor as a full partner, is it?

[dfwgator]

Shoot him, just like Private Slovik.

Spoke breifly with one of the Jags from Ft. Lewis yesterday, but didn’t have time to get the story. Why is this pathetic excuse for a soldier doing free, while we have good men in the brig in Pendleton? I am sickened by the way our govt abuses the patriotic and coddles the traitors.

Watada is a draft dodger, but there is no draft.

This Watada is as dumb as a rock.

If he works the system, he'll earn a place in the CLOWN HALL OF FAME.

But he'll never get near the the hall of heroes.

I'll tell ya guys, we don't need no more Watadas.

[jazusamo]

I couldn’t agree more, this POS is drawing this out for the antiwar crowd and he should definitely be in the Brig. If he was in the Brig, he wouldn’t be drawing it out.

[jazusamo]

He’s a walking POS that brings disgrace to only himself, Smooth and he seems to revel in it.

[jazusamo]

Watada is working in some office at Ft. Lewis. He is allowed to go off base up to 250 miles without permission when off duty. He has been attending and speaking at antiwar protests. The last one I know of was in Eugene, OR on the weekend of March 17.

“My staff is very relieved because we were spending so much time and money on the case,”

Spending time and money on what???
He ENLISTED...
He refused to deploy...
Six years in the brig and a dishonorable discharge!

This ain't rocket science.

[jazusamo]

His old attorney, Seitz is about as stupid as they come, IMO. The media and the nutzos tried to make him out a super lawyer but nothing he did was going to help Watada and Watada probably finally realized he’s going to Leavenworth and tubed him.

LOL! He’s still going to go to Leavenworth.

[Just A Nobody]

LOL! He’s still going to go to Leavenworth.

From your lips to God's ear! ;*)

It used to amaze me that any American would think so little of our country, that they would actually deliberately work for it's downfall.

Now and today, I'm amazed no more.

Now and today, I know this, there is an enemy within, just as dangerous as the enemy without.

I wonder now, when I think of those words, "We fight them over there, so we don't have to fight them here", why not fight them here? Heck, if we fight them here, the Watadas who plague us, we're stronger when we fight elsewhere.

[smoothsailing]

Mrs. Smooth promises pictures soon! That's all I know, that's what she said! LOL!
