You don't build a house like our military on shifting sand. You build it on solid rock. That rock is supposed to be the Constitutional and civil authority of the duly elected President.
Larkin's question is germane in that it would validate that authority as well as the process.
This kangaroo court is doing the exact opposite.
Lakin’s orders would be especially difficult for an honest judge to get around because Congress specifically stated that the authority to “use appropriate force” was given only to “the President”.
How can a judge claim that the President is irrelevant to the orders implementing force, when the law itself says that only the President can implement force?
Lind totally ignored that issue. Just like she totally ignored the actual elements of Article 92.
It’s a travesty. As a lot of us here can easily recognize.
Soooo......what you are saying is that everytime a soldier, sailor, airman or marine refuses to deploy, or refuses to obey a lawful order, all they have to do is request that the president of the united states prove where he was born, how he was raised, and must show up at his or her court martial???? If you believe this, you are an idiot, and not worthy of further intelligent discussion...go back to DU, where the truly insane hang out...
