He wasn’t “rejected.” He got the relief he sought without going through the lawsuit. That’s the definition of “mootness.”
If someone else does it — if a lot of someone else’s do it, some court will eventually hear it even if each person’s orders are rescinded.
His lawyer Orly has over a hundred other people with the same case.
If the relief he sought was simply to get out of going to Afghanistan, this was a majorly self-destructive way to do it. He may have gotten out of the Afghanistan rotation, but BHO is still his Commander-in-chief, unless they also booted him out of the Reserves. The original point was, “Is BHO a legitimate Commander-in-chief,” and this soldier was using his standing, as being under that chain-of-command, to ask the question. How could the Court now declare the case moot?
The dismissal did not answer the question if whether Obama is eligible to serve as Commander-in-Chief. It appears that the move to revoke the deployment answers that question for us. Yes, there will be a day when Obama will have to present doucments (i.e. Lightfoot vs. Bowen in Santa Ana Federal Court).
