Washington, D.C., April 13, 2010. Army doctor Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin yesterday met with his brigade commander, Col. Gordon R. Roberts, who proceeded to read LTC Lakin his Miranda rights, and who informed LTC Lakin he had the “right to remain silent” because LTC Lakin is about to be charged with serious crimes. Col. Roberts was at age 19 awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, the only recipient of the nation’s highest honor currently on active duty in the Army.
LTC Lakin had previously been ordered in writing to report yesterday to Ft. Campbell, KY and then on to deploy for his second tour of duty in Afghanistan. Lakin refused to obey these orders and instead came to work yesterday morning at the Pentagon. Late yesterday afternoon he was confronted by his brigade commander.
Before the meeting was over, LTC Lakin’s Pentagon Access Pass had been revoked, and his laptop computer was set to be confiscated.
The message to LTC Lakin is clear; through official channels, he was informed yesterday that he will shortly be court-martialled for crimes (specifically, missing movement and conduct unbecoming an officer) that for others has led to lengthy imprisonment at hard labor.
Lakin has announced in a YouTube video that has now been viewed more than 110,000 times that he considers it his duty to refuse to obey orders that would be illegal if President Obama is ineligible to hold office.
Meanwhile, cries mount for proof of that eligibility, but nothing has been forthcoming. The Obama campaign at one point released a copy of computer-generated abstract of information purportedly in Hawaii's records system, but the source of this information is unclear and need not have been a birth certificate issued contemporaneously and signed by the doctor who attended the birth. Even the document released was only a copy, and the version printed in the Los Angeles Times on June 16, 2008 is on a form only in use since late 2001. Even as it is, the document contains a warning that it is merely “prima facie”--threshold, rebuttable and thus inconclusive --evidence of birth, and the copy the Times printed mysteriously has the certificate number blacked out, thereby rendering the document unusable according to language on the bottom.
Given the seriousness of the offenses with which LTC Lakin is about to be charged, the American Patriot Foundation today renewed its plea for donations to its legal defense fund for LTC Lakin. Details are available at APF's website, www.safeguardourconstitution.com
My question was equally simple......
Are/were you a JAG?
A binary response is all that’s needed...
Binary in this case is: yes/no
” Matt Dillion will not be there.”
I believe many will be disappointed.lol

If he has proof Obama lied, then he can present it. He will NOT be allowed to look for evidence he doesn’t have. That is because Obama is not on trial. Lakin is.
Blowing smoke is sometimes an effective defense, but it won’t work this time.
I'm pretty sure you're promoting a falsehood with that statement. If I remember correctly, there has been more than one congresscritter that has stated publicly that they didn't know if Obama was eligible for office.
correct, here is the story of LT Col Lakin, and it IS impressive:
Who is LTC Terry Lakin
Lieutenant Colonel Terrence (”Terry”) Lakin serves as Chief of Primary Care and Flight Surgeon for the Pentagon’s DiLorenzo TRICARE Health Clinic. He is the lead Flight Surgeon charged with caring for Army Chief of Staff General Casey’s pilots and air crew. LTC Lakin, selected for promotion to Colonel, is a native of Colorado, whose residency is Tennessee.
LTC Lakin’s numerous awards and decorations include the Army Flight Surgeon Badge, Combat Medical Badge, the Bronze Star Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Army Commendation Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters, the Army Achievement Medal with one Oak Leaf Clusters, the National Defense Service Medal with Bronze Service Star, the Armed Forces Expedition Medal, the Army Reserve Component Achievement Medal, the Army Service Ribbon, the Overseas Service Ribbon sixth award and the NATO service medal. He has served previously in Honduras, Bosnia, El Salvador, Korea, and Afghanistan.
For well over a year, LTC Lakin has asked through his chain of command and his Congressional delegation for proof that President Obama is Constitutionally eligible to serve as his Commander-in-Chief. He has explained to his superiors that he cannot understand how his Oath of Office to protect and defend the Constitution does not allow military officers to pursue this proof of eligibility.
LTC Lakin received military orders in late February for deployment to Afghanistan, including a requirement that he provide “copies of his birth certificate.” LTC Lakin is prepared to provide a certified copy of his certification of vital record that lists his birth hospital, physician’s name and other key information. He has provided this document for many other required processes, such as his commissioning into the military as an officer, his security clearance and his marriage license. He is the highest ranking officer to go public over this controversy and the first active duty officer to do so.

I'm a voter...I haven't seen proof....
I wouldn’t be so sure.
Lakin probably received a THOROUGH legal analysis of his case/chances, before he took such a radical step....
Unless he’s a fool,(unlikely) he has done his homework and consulted a handful of legal experts.
Discovery is NOT a “fishing expedition”. It is a legal avenue available if needed to prove your case.
No, I am not a lawyer. I am however an adult male with common sense...
Put your self in his shoes..would you take such a radical step without doing your homework.......? I didn’t think so.
Wrong -- unless, of course, you are Humpty Dumpty and the definition of "natural born citizen" can mean so many things to so many people at so many times in so many ways.
Every person certifying him for the ballot KNEW about Obama’s father. The public knew. The Electoral College knew. Every member of Congress knew. The Supreme Court knew. All before Obama took office.
Just because they knew and may not have done anything or said anything doesn't mean that their knowledge and inaction changes those words of the Constitution. Their choice to look the other way didn't change those words or the facts or the truth that is now coming out and haunting them daily and for good reason.
None raised an objection, so we must conclude that none of those believe Obama’s Dad being from Kenya stopped Obama from being a natural born citizen.
Oh -- so that is how you establish facts these days. So then if we just silence people and fill the other's heads with mush then we can all change history and the meaning of words so long established.
Well said, Humpty Dumpty.
I was out by then, but it was such a breath of fresh air when Reagan was elected!
I understand that you disagree with the states, the Electoral College, Congress and the courts about what “natural born citizen” should mean.
But it isn’t your call, nor Lakin’s. It ought to give you pause to know that EVERYONE who has responsibility for the election disagrees with your definition.
Sure it is. That is the whole point of the charges we executed people on in Germany after WWII. It isn't a defense to say well I got the order from my superior in the ordinary course of business.
He isn't looking for a reason why the order is illegal--it is illegal because it was issued four steps up under the authority of a guy who claims to be President but is really only the dog catcher.
And our specific position that he is not the President is that he cannot meet the Constitutional "natural born citizen" requirement to be eligible to hold the office for the reason that he was born in Mombasa in what is now modern Kenya under circumstances where he did not even become a citizen at all, much less Natural Born.
Evidence to prove that is abundant; there is no scintilla evidence of any nature to the contrary.
You get that issue to trial with competent counsel and available evidence that is already on the record in a number of places and it is slam dunk.
This is not Washington's form of government in control. I would think our founders are turning in their graves because we haven't done jack sh*t to stop this crap...
You should have responded: “I do not know” instead of dissembling as an embarrassed child would.
Amen. God Bless him.
It is the link that this thread was started from...I said it was off topic because the debate here is hot and heavy in another direction...
Obama and any other elected official is covered under the “de facto officer doctrine” established by US Supreme Court precedent from 1898.
This does not prevent the BC to be released in discovery, or used as evidence.
No they certified his election. Not the same thing at all.
Again, I understand that you disagree with everyone else about what NBC entails. However, everyone with responsibility for certifying elections has rejected your definition. Everyone.
So you are stuck with the fact that your definition is wrong. I guess “Uncle Chip’s Legal Dictionary” isn’t going to be a best seller after all...
Opps. I was mistaken, same domain so I thought it was the same. I was going to post it but when I serached FREEp I saw this post and didn’t post. But here it is... http://www.safeguardourconstitution.com/press-release/pressrelease20100413.html
