Actually, I'm appealing to the Constitution, which is what the most recent cases have specifically cited. I've asked you to read it, but that seems beyond your capabilities.
What are you, a 9th Circus justice? Our legal system these days couldn't rule correctly on if water was wet.
Nice meaningless folksy ad hominem. That's what people who don't know what they're talking about do.
I notice you STILL don't make even a half-assed attempt at giving any citations or links to back up your bluster. All you do is say that those sources posted, including the MCM I posted earlier, don't matter and YOU know better.
I've told you the relevant section and article in the Constitution, the Article of the United States Code in which the relevant statues, including the UCMJ, reside, and told you the legal case in which to find a succinct, lucid explanation of the above. If you've got too much of a dead corpse intellect to make it from there, that's your problem.
And you don't actually understand where the MCM fits in all that, do you?
Not that I expect any out of blowhard newbies like you. Run along now while the adults talk.
If you're capable of identifying adult talk, let me know where they are. Anything would beat this.
Please tell us why Congress..authorized the President.. the authority to convene Courts Martial.
Was it because his orders and the officers and NCOs representing him are followed.
It is law all orders and regulations represent the President.
Perhaps this is their goal.
We who are retired can speak this..those on active duty must hold their voice.
LTC Lakin crossed the Rubicon..now we are in dangerous territory and you know it.
If an innocent LTC Lakin is convicted to protect an illegal obama there may be collisions.
Citeless, sourceless, quoteless, and finally you are pointless.
The Constitution makes Obama CiC. The USMJ sets out the chain of command with your usurper buddy at it's very top. The MCM is PUBLISHED and ENFORCED under Zero's Executive Orders. And finally, documentation from historical military manuals showing that all of the above makes the President the font from which all military officer authority flows.
And yet you still run around like a brain-dead liberal saying, "That's not what it says! That's not what it says!" Even though that is EXACTLY what it says.
Silly troll... DU is that way ---->
