I don’t think we ought to be using our military to hold politicians or ordinary men on the street accountable to the law. That is emphatically not what they’re there for.

Exactly how are our military officers supposed to protect America and her Constitution from “domestic enemies” if they aren’t even allowed to find out who those domestic enemies are?

In this case I’m not saying that the military needs to be the investigative body, but I just don’t think that the military should be able to convict a man for disobeying a Constitutional order when the civilian entities responsible to check the Constitutionality have documentably NEVER DONE SO.

That’s all Lakin is asking. If the military court wants to convict Lakin I just think they need to get the confirmation that the civilian authorities actually did the checking they were supposed to. And I KNOW that they didn’t, because Hawaii law requires all the documents in Hawaii to be seen before any legal determination can be made at all.

Being an usurping president is not legal but there he is.

And no one forced Lt. Col. Lakin as he came to his own conscientious decision. No one used him.
