He should not have disobeyed a lawful order no matter what. Period.

Seems like the two branches of gov't are pointing fingers saying it's the others responsibility. Meanwhile, it appears that it is no one's legal responsibility to "vet" the political party candidates except for the political parties themselves. Seems like a bit of a conflict of interest there. All the while "We The People" are told that we have no right to know if the POTUS is Constitutionally qualified. It's really a bit stunning to say the least.

I just hope that this new Congress has the moral fortitude to do the right thing and investigate Barry and how someone born with foreign allegiance can be our President and Commander in Chief. Before we have this conundrum raise again.

Cheers!

There was no lawful order if Obama is not Constitutionally able to “act as President”, and that depends on whether he “failed to qualify” by Jan 20, 2009 - according to the 20th Amendment.

To this day we don’t know if the orders Lakin received were lawful. That is all Lakin wanted to find out. It’s what he spent a year trying to get the military to ascertain. They refused.

As somebody commented to me privately, there is no military commander who can look at a soldier killed in action as a result of the order the commander gave - and honestly know whether the order he gave was lawful.

That is heavy stuff. Our military people are bearing a huge enough burden as it is; you and I both know that. They should not have to bear the burden of their conscience not knowing whether what they did was lawful. Sure, they’ve got cover in the MCM if they were “just following orders”. They’re not LEGALLY in trouble for it, but when you’re looking at a dead man’s family and in your heart you really don’t know what you’ve done, there’s more pressing on you than just what you can get away with.

And I know that because we have fantastic, conscientious leaders on the battlefield who truly care about their soldiers and about the Constitution. They are caught in the cross-fire here, and only a cad without a conscience who doesn’t give a rip for either the commanders or the foot-soldiers would trivialize the earnestness of these honorable men’s consciences.
