Lakin is probably going to be convicted unless his new attorney has some crackerjack procedural moves in the bag not related to the Obama eligibility question. If Lakin gets a stiff penalty, that will be a sad outcome for what otherwise seems to be a decent guy. But it will be because he got bad advice from his first lawyer.

History Lesson:

The Framers of the Constitution were cognizant of the power struggle between Parliament and the King regarding the powers of the military. Many of the Framers were combat veterans from the Continental Army and understood the demands of military life and the need for a well-disciplined fighting force. The solution to the government of the armed forces was a classic balancing of constitutional interests and powers. They assured that Congress - with its responsiveness to the population, its fact-finding ability, and its collective deliberative processes - would provide for the government of the armed forces.

The Framers of the Constitution had a great respect for the value of separation of powers. One of the primary goals of the Constitutional Convention, in remedying the defects of the Articles of Confederation, was to create a government in which separate branches of power served as a check and balance against the other. Principles of separation of powers also applied to the military. The Framers vested power in the executive and legislative branches, but left the judiciary with only a collateral role in governing the armed forces.

By distributing power over the armed forces between the legislative and executive branches, the Framers "avoided much of the political-military power struggle which typified so much of the early history of the British court-martial system." Moreover, the Framers made it clear that while the command of the military lie with the executive, the military would be governed and regulated according to the law handed down by the legislative branch. Therefore, the government of the armed forces would always reflect the will of the people as expressed through their representatives in Congress.

Every one who has read a book knows Obama is illegal. The problem I have is the misinformation being spewed..it is not logical obama is a legal president..there are few who have done as much research as I have on this subject... This goes beyond LTC Lakin..we are in the realm of treason..there is an active campaign to surplant the constitution.. LTC Lakin is a stepping stone..to their goal..

If I read anything..making obama a natural born citizen I would cease posting..on the subject..but I have found nothing supporting obama. We are in the mists of a Civil War.. the Courts must intervene..but I am afraid it is too late..the die was cast..with the passing of the 14th Amendment and the fraudulent election of obama. The republicans and the democrats are nothing more than pawns for trinkets.
