This case goes nowhere. Not this fall, and not later. There is no case.

And yet here you are, whining about it again. A glutton for punishment, aren't you?

Your wishful thinking doesn’t not denote a proper defense for Obama with a plaintiff that has Standing. Believe me ... the US Attorney's office is watching this case even closer than you After-Birthers. They know they can't use the "FactCheck.org says Obama is legit" defense. LOL

The military cannot exist if junior members can disobey orders at will until someone above them proves they are just, legal, etc. Unless an order is obviously illegal - and deploying to Afghanistan does NOT qualify - then Lakin needs to obey.

Hmmm, first of all, he is a FGO, not a junior company grade officer. In fact, as an O-5, Lakin has obtained the HIGHEST rank a military officer can attain without Congressional approval.

Second of all, please explain where Obama’s Deployment orders are obviously LEGAL.

And third of all, why does Lakin need to obey orders he thinks are illegitimate? Obviously Obama has NO PROBLEM with 1st Lt Ehren Watada disobeying Deployment orders.

I’ve yet to hear from you After-Birthers as to WHY Lt Watada's precedence SET BY OBAMA HIMSELF does NOT apply in Lt Col Lakin’s case. That's because IT DOES.

If he wants to make a political statement, he needs to take off the uniform first...

Lakin is not trying to make a "political statement", but he IS trying to abide by his Oath of Office. The same CANNOT be said for Obama.

But what's REALLY disturbing is that you’re for nudity in the courtroom.

Sometimes I just don’t know about you After-Birthers ...

No US Attorney is worrying about this case. Lakin has no basis for refusing to deploy. Both the Board & any appeals court will rule Obama’s birth certificate is irrelevant. Lakin’s reasons for missing deployment are not relevant to the government’s case.

“Hmmm, first of all, he is a FGO, not a junior company grade officer. In fact, as an O-5, Lakin has obtained the HIGHEST rank a military officer can attain without Congressional approval.”

I was an O-5 as well. Junior refers to him being junior to the folks giving the deployment order.

“Second of all, please explain where Obama’s Deployment orders are obviously LEGAL.”

1 - The deployment is fully supported by Congress as well as the President. He would have received the same orders if McCain had won.

2 - If Lakin possessed EVIDENCE that Obama was born abroad, he might have a case. However, he is using his refusal to try to obtain evidence of his suspicions. That won’t fly.

Watada - I still think they should have tossed him in prison for 5-6 years. However, I believe his defense rested on his being a CO, not on GWB not being President. I’m not familiar with how the rules for COs work. I just know I despise Watada for not deploying. He was a self-serving political ass - in which he resembles Lakin.

If Lakin wanted to protest Obama, he could have resigned and done so. The US military doesn’t get to decide who is CINC. The American people & Congress do that.

A true pot-meet-kettle moment if ever there was one.

Other than O-6.

Watada was court martialed. Now Lakin will be. The precedent is upheld.

Lakin is not trying to make a "political statement", but he IS trying to abide by his Oath of Office. The same CANNOT be said for Obama.

When you get right down to it both men are acting in criminal fashion.
