Second of all, to get to the Federal Court system, Lt Col Lakin needs injury to derive legal Standing. And that's what the “MILITARY COURT” will give him ;)

Now you're thinking like Orly! (the court may decide he injured himself with his own behavior)

Are you PAID to come on here and make stupid remarks, or do you just throw that part in for free?! LOL.


Yes, you have to be able to demonstrate Injury (along with Causation and Redressability) to have legal Standing in front of a judge, and defying legal authority to get oneself into the courtroom is a time-tested and often-used legal strategy.

If ANYONE has direct Injury without defying authority to show Injury, it would be Alan Keyes. But his cases are bogged down in the litigious food chain. SO, a different angle, in a different Venue (likely starting at the USDCDC once Lt Col Lakin is court-martialed in Military Court), is a smart choice at this point. Sorry ... you Lefties don't own the patent on DBKP.

Quo Warranto in challenging a sitting president is a SMART, yet unproven legal strategy in this situation, as it's never been weighed upon by the SCOTUS on a sitting president (likely because of Political Question). But most legal strategists think that challenging the validity of a sitting president's qualifications via Quo Warranto at this point is the best route, as proposed by Charles Gordon when Gov. George Romney of Michigan ran for the 1968 GOP nomination for President.


Back to Injury and Venue. Let me use a more widely-known example from the Civil Rights era:

Most people know of Rosa Parks and her open defiance of the law; it received much publicity (photos BELOW). Far fewer people know of Aurelia Browder, Susie McDonald, Claudette Colvin and Mary Louise Smith in Browder v. Gayle.

Civil rights activist attorneys put together Browder v. Gayle (citing Morgan v. Virginia, 328 U.S. 373 [1948]), using Browder et al. as the Plaintiffs to show Injury and be tried in a better Venue, starting at the District Court level in 1956.
The attorneys feared that a theoretical Rosa Parks criminal case would have gotten bogged down for years in Alabama local and state court before arriving at the Federal level.

Now ... when you can even attempt to understand these most basic of legal concepts,
then you should try to make an intelligent comment on such issues.

Until such time though, perhaps you should just STFU!

And YES ... I just LOVE when I have the opportunity to invoke Rosa Parks just to piss you Lefty After-Birthers off! LOL!

Question Authority or be a slave to tyrants....

“It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace — but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

Patrick Henry 1775...
