That isn’t surprising. What is surprising is the fact they said nothing about dropping the case.

I have heard that officers cannot speak against the President or Cabinet Secretaries at any time or they will be subjected to a court martial. Can anyone verify?

He may be silenced, but we are not. Neither is Orly.

GOOD STUFF!

I hope one or more courts don't pull any more of that "no standing" garbage.

If members of the military don't have standing to bring a suit in a case like this, I don't know who does.

Of course, we ordinary plebians have no standing in anything any more, as we find out every day.

I do not support any soldier who has taken this position, although I believe that their position may be correct as a point of constitutional law.

Soldiers must bear true faith and allegience to the Constitution of the United States and to the Officers appointed over them. That includes the President of the United States, and until some competent authority declares that the President is not entitled to his office, they are bound by their oath to support him.

We cannot tolerate a Legion that may, for whatever reasons, declare its allegience to a Prelate or Caesar, in lieu of the legally constitued Government. If a soldier truly believes that he cannot serve the constituted Government, then he must resign. Officers may do this at any time after they have served their initial obligation. Enlisted members must wait until the period of their enlistment is expired. Once they have been discharged, then they may pursue their objections as may any citizen.

If I were sitting on their Court Martial, I would vote to convict, even though I sympathize with their cause. It has to work that way if we are to preserve the Republic.

Obama and his ilk have underestimated the personal integrity and selflessness of the American soldier (sailor, marine and airman). Those not afraid to kick in doors in Fallujah are certainly not afraid of the consequences of standing up to a Chicago street punk.

May many more Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors and Marines speak out and demand proof!

Attorney Orly Taitz...told WND today she's been informed one of the members of the military has been ordered by commanding officers not to speak with media.

If Orly Taitz says it, it must be true! Especially when she says it to WorldNutDaily.
