if I understand the legal theory correctly, in order to bring a case before the courts, you have to allege an actual or potential harm.
The Major’s case is based on him receiving orders to deploy and his claim they lack legal authority because President Obama is unqualified to hold office.
By cancelling his orders, the Army is removing the basis for his case. No orders, no case.
IMO, the major won’t receive any more orders. Issuing him orders would simply reopen the issue because all orders are issued through powers ultimately deriving from the President as Commander in Chief.
You are right that his career is over. But it was over the moment his lawyers filed the case and he knew it.
But...
Anyone else with a like mind can also challenge an order.
A military cannot function without orders being issued.
But, maybe this was 0bama’s goal anyway.
Maybe but only while this administration is in office. If it is ever proven that Obama is inelligible, his actions would be viewed as heroic.
In the words of Patrick Henry, "Give me liberty or give me death". Major wood is a hero and should be remembered as such.
Why does everyone continue to worry about his career? He certainly is not worried. Apparantly to this courageous soldier there are some things more important than ones career. I wish America would grow some and revolt - have we all become a bunch of sheep that only care about our career or the almight dollar? Is there nothing more important to fight for than our freedoms and defense of the constitution?
