Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg says her grandson born in Paris is a “natural born” citizen
My grandson was born in Paris of U.S. citizen parents. I had never considered him a naturalized citizen of the United States.

I'm also not convinced that Justice Thomas' mentioned statement is an absolute reference to this issue
~~Ping!

If convicted under the UCMJ then Leavenworth is where he belongs...
If convicted, yes. He understood the risk. If we are to be a nation of laws, then the sentence must be carried out.
And yes, I believe Obama is a usurping turd that’s undeserving of a toilet. My hope is that all goes well in this instance, but if it doesn’t, the decision must be respected.
yea, UCMJ is the end all and be all of justice...(sarc)
“yea, UCMJ is the end all and be all of justice”
If you are a soldier it is.
I knew you were one too. Even soldiers answer to a higher law, like their own consciences among others.
words will not defeat this current govt
Them’s the rules of civil disobedience
Captain Alfred Dreyfus, please report back to Devil's Island!
Obama wants to call himself a Christian. Here is an easy opportunity to show it.
Good question.

this calls for more investigation...of the scam artist.
I, as former Army will have to disagree with you.
The Army of today is nothing more than the politically correct arm of the Obama ‘Thugs’ and the Communist left!
They will ‘coddle’ a Uniformed Terrorist but Jump with both boots on a Soldier who ‘Dares’ question the validity of the Muslim in charge!
Everything about today’s military has been taken over buy forces that I consider evil and so .. I not only don’t recognize the Army that I once so proudly served .. I don’t recognize .. “Their Brand Of Justice Either”!
(The above does not necessarily apply to the GRUNTS)
“...while it is documented that he actually was working for a CIA front company and believed to have spent those years in Afghanistan”
Is this article talking about obama in this sentence?
“I had never considered him a naturalized citizen of the United States.”
I guess it depends on the circumstances.
LTC Lakin’s problem is that they can simply charge him with what they’ve charged — failure to obey a lawful order — and never need to give him access to the information he hoped would be revealed in order for him to conduct his defense.
The “why” he disobeyed is a moot point. They’ll simply focus on whether or not he obeyed....or indicated that he would not obey.
I feared this from the very beginning and someplace on FR is a post saying as much.
As with all deployment orders, his came through the CJCS, a duly appointed officer in charge of the US military. He can’t even point to the president’s name on those orders. Therefore, he’s standing in opposition to a superior officer appointed by CONGRESS, in an overseas operation approved by Congress, and Congress has the constitutional power to regulate the military, not the president.
I believe he made a tactical error, and now the issue is how to get out of it.
His safest course now that the deck is stacked against him is to claim duress due to combat fatigue/deployment stress and agree to obey the orders. His gambit failed.
We need to have this good man out of the military and preserved for another fight on another day.
