How does this relate to Lafkin’s refusal to deploy?

Because in high profile cases, especially involving politicians, the reality is that the Court system often follows the lead of the Court of Public Opinion.

ASK Nixon, Bill Clinton, Blaggo and many others. They could no longer dodge the Courts (i.e., Political Question) when their approval ratings were low. The public complains to their other elected politicians and FORCE Court action when there was Court INaction. Truth be known (no matter how unsavory as it may sound): Judges and prosecutors generally don't go after popular (thus powerful) politicians.

Furthermore, Lt Col Lakin's case has the strong potential to be the case that focuses the efforts of MILLIONS of very vocal Americans who question Obama's Eligibility.

And seeing how Obama's approval rating downward-spiral to 43 percent shows NO signs of abating, he has a decreasing amount of Political Capital to fend off those who want to see him GONE, regardless of the means of removal.

Despite the circumstantial evidence that Obama has LIED about his past, let's just say FOR ARGUMENT'S SAKE, that this is ALL a misunderstanding ... a growing number of people won't believe him anyway, regardless of any proof he were to cough up.

Some on the Left (and Right) have suggested that Soros or someone else will come forward with an October surprise this year, to somehow embarrass the GOP in the eyes of the MSM and Moderates and steal the 2010 election ... a two-year-old, Rovian-type of pre-planned sucker punch, aimed first at the Hillary campaign, climaxing when Obama whips an Original Birth Certificate out of his back pocket, forever proving he was born in Hawaii.

LOL — we've seen the bungling Team Obama in action in the White House ... they're not that sophisticated. They're delaying & obfuscating, not springing a two-year-old trap.

Regardless, MILLIONS would STILL NOT believe anything refuting Obama's claims at this point, even IF it WERE somehow true.

IF SOMEHOW TRUE, Obama's so-called Eligibility "hoax" has now become a self-consuming monster and a self-perpetuating truth, forever working AGAINST Obama, not FOR him. An unintentional backfire if ever it was a plot.

As Lenin himself said:

Excellent overview of the political atmosphere and analysis of the clumsy Obama Administration.

“Furthermore, Lt Col Lakin’s case has the strong potential to be the case that focuses the efforts of MILLIONS of very vocal Americans who question Obama’s Eligibility.”

Thanks for all of your great posts.

What Lakin’s case has the chance of making clear to the public is that if Obama actually has nothing to hide there is no reason for Obama to continue to refuse to release his original HI vital records.

If a Lakin court martial actually begins, MSM coverage will be hard pressed to hide Obama’s willful failure of transparency regarding his own eligibility.

This framing of the situation as the Army “calling Lakin’s bluff” is an obviously Alinsky-style corruption of logic.

What is happening here is that LTC Lakin is calling Obama’s "trust me" bluff that his hidden HI vital records prove Obama’s eligibility.

Have you noticed my tag line?

If Lafkin refuses to deploy, he can be tried by Courts Martial. Such a proceeding is not subject to the “Court of Public Opinion.”

In fact, if I were still on Active Duty and selected to be a member of the court and the defense had nothing to offer to refute Lafkin’s violation of the UCMJ, my secret written ballot would contain the word "Guilty."
