BORN IN THE USA? Officer's brother: 'Obama could have made this all go away'
WND ^ | 11/10/10 | Bob Unruh

Posted on 11/11/2010 12:55:19 AM PST by FTJM

An attorney-doctor from Kansas whose brother is scheduled for a court-martial says President Obama could, if he chose, resolve the dispute virtually without effort.

Greg Lakin, whose brother is Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin, told talk radio show host Peter Boyles on KHOW radio in Denver that it would be "easy."

"It could have been an easy fix. Obama could have stepped up and done the honorable thing and made this all go away," Greg Lakin said in the interview this week. "Just some type of showing, 'Hey, I was born here … here's some proof.'"

WND reported a new trial date has been announced by the military for Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin, the career Army doctor who decided to refuse an assignment to Afghanistan because of his concern that the orders he was issued in a chain of command headed by Barack Obama were not legal.

According to attorney Neal Puckett, who has represented Lakin since a military judge ordered Lakin could not have access to any information about President Obama's eligibility, the trial is scheduled to begin Dec. 14 and run for three days.

He confirmed to WND that there will be new directions for the defense but could not elaborate.

"All I can really say is the case is going to be handled differently from here on out," he said.

Greg Lakin said he fears the military, which he said never has had to confront the possibility that a president may not be eligible and his orders then may be illegitimate, may take the easy way out and simply lock up his brother.

If it was apparent that he wished to be a martyr, I would help him by recommending a lengthy sentence.

Jacquerie, if I believed for one moment that the child of an un-naturalized subject of another nation had the legal right to occupy the Executive Office of this nation, serve as the Commander in Chief of this nation's military, and influence legislative and legal issues inside this nation, I would wholeheartedly agree with you. But, alas, I do not. In light of all that the Framers of this nation sacrificed to guarantee our sovereignty, I can not; I will not. It is a matter of honor.

If irrefutable proof was presented to the court on the day of sentencing that Hussein was born in Kenya, I would send Lakin off to Leavenworth for as long as I could. I don't know who counseled him to risk all in his silly quixotic quest, nor do I care.

Hussein was sworn in as President. Even if said proof show that he was born in Kenya, he is still the President and will remain so until he is not.

Thank you for revealing your true colors!

It just confirms that you believing in the Constitution is nothing but a hypocrisy padding on your own shoulders and blowing smoke and mirrors!!

You are probably toooooo young to know anything about the Nuremberg trial, and would not surprise me you living in Broward County and joining the crowds there!!!

You jumped into the discussion I was having with SatinDoll about senators being expelled from the senate for not being US citizens. You also pinged the posters I was having the discussion with.

I'm not familiar with German protocols, however, here in the U.S. it's a proper courtesy to c.c. the other party when you "break" in to their conversation. You have been here long enough to know F.R.'s protocol!!!

The Nuremberg trials enforced the belief that officers are responsible for their actions. The excuse that “we” were just following orders does not hold up in the world court. Any educated officer knows that obama is not the legal President , and to follow and accept his command is act of treason.

How long ago were you naturalized? Pretty outrageous for you to be calling for the military to overthrow the prez, even if he is a socialist. Not like you were born here. I agree with Non-Sequitur, you’re outrageous.

Do you have children? I guess they’re not eligible to be president because you weren’t born in this country. Not natural-born. Naturalized.

have these examples regarding removal of US Senator come up for discussion on these threads
Burton v. U.S.
what about Powell v. McCormack?:

“The majority opinion was authored by Chief Justice Warren, and signed by Black, Brennan, Douglas, Harlan, Marshall, and White.

The opinion stated that the case was justiciable; that it did not constitute a political question that pit one branch of government against another. Rather, it required “no more than an interpretation of the Constitution”.

The opinion stated furthermore that (Art. I, § 5, cl. 1) does not preclude judicial review of Constitutional issues because “no branch is supreme” and it is the duty of the court to ensure that all branches conform to the Constitution”

Well I was born in 1950 and so what I know of the trials-for there were more than one. comes from what I learned in public school. so I hope you forgive me my lack of education and the brain damage done while I was an Army Medic tends to make me a little bit of a slow learner— Exactly what relevance is there
to your circlejerk reply -to what I had posted?

And precisely what effect does it have on the good order and morale of the entire US Military to have a divisive and most
probably FRAUD as CIC. The chain of command is only as strong as its weakest link.And the CIC /civilian control of the military is currently that weakest link. That Mikey Mullen and
Gates and the rest have been good toy soldiers and have prosecuted the every desire of the sodomite in the WhiteHouse
suggests they have pretended every order is lawful and their cause just.But they defile their Oath of Service.

My older brother and I were born while my mother was still a French citizen, and that conferred on us French citizenship (in addition to American). My brother also had to pick one when it was time to register for the Selective Service. I recall it quite well as this was right at the end of the Vietnam War.

Obama and Congress are violating the offense clause in the Constitution. The Law of Nations.

Violating the Law of Nations???? Oh woe is they. </sarcasm>

All orders originate from the President. You have been showed this many many times, but you ignore it.

Actually no, they don't. Your imaginative interpretation to the contrary notwithstanding. If that were true then by your definition every order given by anyone in the armed services since January 20, 2009 has been illegal. Shall we lock all of them up?

Seems freerepublic allows the Obots to post to keep the discusssions going. That is you only purpose.

And for that I'm eternally grateful to Mr. Robinson and the mods. I get so much amusement from reading your stuff, I'd lose all that if I were banned.

You must know Obama is illegal and you must know all orders come from the President.

Must I? The jury is still out on the first part of that sentence and the second part ignores the Constitution completely.

So because I'm NOT born here, I don't have the the 1st & 2nd amendment rights?

Wonder how the framers would feel about that??

Where have I called for the military to overthrow YOUR "prez,"(?), AKA as the usurper and an illegal alien???

I may be young but I'm natural-born. I know it must burn you up inside that people who hold repulsive political beliefs can run for president and are eligible because they were born here. That's the way it is, however.

So you have a child here that isn't naturalized?

Hey newbee young doctor-man, do want us to welcome your views here as FRiends or you chose to be on the SP list like N-s and his other Sororistas?

What you call a "child" is about 15 yrs older than you, and who has said she is here??

And who are you referring to "born here"???

Time to make up your decision!!!
