Lakin doesn't believe Obama to have been born in HI.
Ah, yes...no direct quotes just your assertion.
It seems to me that Larkin wants proof in the form of a real document, available to one and all for inspection and verification, that he is eligible, and qualified, to be POTUS.
What I contend is that Barack Obama's eligibility or ineligibility is not a matter for a military court of law.
Contend away! (but you sure are contentious on a number of side issues)
Lakin is going to learn this at the expense of his career, and possibly his retirement.
That is your assumption. The case hasn't even been heard.
Again, deductive reasoning must be outside your intellectual grasp. I'm not surprised. The only reason to see the birth certificate is to verify the Hawaiian birth. If you want to verify Hawaiian birth, then you must not believe Obama was born in HI. It's not that complicated, except to you, apparently.
Did Lakin refuse to deploy during George Bush's presidency, or did George send Lakin a personally signed copy of his birth certificate, just because? 'Contend away!"
Of course, my "contention" has prevailed in no less than 60 of these birther cases. How about that?
"That is your assumption. The case hasn't even been heard."
That's my presumption based upon 25-years of practicing military law. I haven't seen a single former military lawyer publicly opine that Lakin stands even a remote chance of prevailing at trial. The case is a loser, and any JAG - even those with the "new uniform smell" - could have told Lakin the exact same thing.
