A military judge in Maryland has ruled that President Barack Obama's birth certificate is irrelevant in the case of an Army doctor charged with disobeying deployment orders because he doubts Obama's eligibility to be commander in chief.

Then drop the charges and give him an honorable discharge.
Ok you legal eagles ... does this set up an automatic appeal?
This crap has been done during Bush’s term too “Illegal war...stole the election” etc etc.
How about a few years in Leavenworth breaking rocks?
Obama knows he is a one termer. He will do as much damage as he can. He is a little communist twerp.
She basically said, “Pick another defense.” A career court martial isn’t like ordering an ice cream cone, where if they’re out of one flavor, you can pick another. This is beyond half-assed.
She didn’t say it was an invalid defense and provide reasoning; nor did she say he didn’t have standing. She just said he should pick another defense because his request could prove embarassing to the Won. Totally banana republic.
How about this guy is standing up for The Constitution while idiots are watching reality TV and ball games while drinking beer and shoving corn cobs up their a*se.
You can argue that the civilian system failed him. He has is orders.
is = his
I was never a military lawyer so I don't know. In the civilian world it would not because it would be considered an interim ruling. A appeal of this issue would have to be part of an appeal of a final verdict.
Again in the civilian world, Lakin could go for a special writ with an appellate court to consider this issue now, but those are rarely granted. I don't know if military courts do those kinds of things.
Can Obama afford politically to do nothing to remedy the situation and let an otherwise exemplary servant of his country’s flag be punished?
Did Obama axe the judge to axe it?
The Constitution is irrelevant?
Cowards. Make a determination instead of passing the buck. He’s ineligible and you know it.
Well keep celebrating Gomer cause the US military, intel, cia, nsa, and govt are stuff with muslims and muslims sympathizers leaking intel back to the taliban and al qeada on how to improve the effectiveness of killing American soliders.
The brass at the Pentagon are pathetic cowards.
You lost your country back on Nov 2008.
They (interlocutory appeals) do exist in the military court system, but not with these sets of facts and circumstances. I won't bore you with the particulars, but his chances of prevailing with an extraordinary writ are virtually zero. For a variety of reasons, the appellate court will have to deny the interlocutory appeal. But, it is a point that Lakin's team can raise when he files his first appeal to CMA.
Having said that, his chances of prevailing on appeal to CMA and then to CAAF are close to zero, at least with respect to this particular judicial ruling. The MJ really had no choice. The existing case law, as she cited, binds her thoroughly, as it will bind the appellate courts.
Have you told the folks on this website? Especially the ones who believe Bush = Obama?

No. The ruling is on pretty conventional legal ground. Presuming that Lakin is convicted, however, he is almost certain to choose an appeal.
Frantzie, the brass & saboteurs are in on it, but there are still 1000s of men and women in the service, of ‘varying kinds,’ who are stand up guys and won’t go down without a fight.
We are in G-war.
