PING!
Interesting. Thanks for posting the link. I forwarded it onto a retired military friend.
Sorry. The judge does not have any evidence at all. There has been no discovery yet.
Therefore the judge is speculating. Much as it kills me, her reasoning is probably sound. The defendant is requiring the commander-in-chief, an elected official, not a military officer, to prove his Constitutional rights. That would seem to be a role for Congress, not the military. It is not the role of the military to question their civilian masters.
Yeah, I’m a birther. So don’t blast me. But, I think the judge is correct. On the other hand, rather than see a competent officer court marshaled, as a legitimate commander in chief, I’d just hand over the appropriate documentation. I’ve had to produce my birth certificate at every job I’ve ever had. At my present job, I’ve had to produce it three times in five years.
Incidentally, after I was interviewed by a Homeland Security Special Agent, I asked him, “If I told you I had been mentored by Frank Davis and had worked for Saul Olinsky, would I get a security clearance?” He himmed and hawed, but finally said “no.” Obama is not fit to polish the colonel’s shoes.
Realworld 101.
He never received an order from President Obama.
His charges stem from disobaying an order from a supperior officer.
That makes his excuss not pertenant to the case.
Even if Obama is inelegible, the senior officer that actually did give him his orders was perfectly legal in doing so and his actions in refusing them are criminal under UCMJ.
His actions in inciting mutney in a time of war could carry the death sentance if the authorities wished to push it.
