And already, the military judge has said that the Constitutional status of the President is irrelevant to combat orders. That’s a scary precedent right there.

If that's the case, then why not just go through with the trial, be found guilty, and then start the appeals process? At the very least the government would be forced to show its evidence that proves that 0bama is legally qualified to serve as President.

Of course, if the government has no such proof, that will also come out at trial. And if he is still convicted, then he'd have grounds for appeal.

My reasoning is that by even starting this process, this man's military career became effectively finished anyway. If the difference of each possible outcome would be just a change in the size of the cell in which he'll serve his sentence, or the length of that sentence, then there is no good reason to give up if indeed the government has no case. Now he's essentially going on the record and saying the government was right.

I think for most of us, this should end any questions people may have had regarding 0bama's eligibility. While a different outcome would have been preferred, it just has to be accepted that he is eligible, and that it is done with.

“At the very least the government would be forced to show its evidence that proves that 0bama is legally qualified to serve as President.”

“At the very least”? No, at the very least, the Army would prevail in its contention that Lakin’s orders were legal even if the President were ineligible. If that holding were upheld, then any eligibility evidence would remain completely irrelevant.

Since that holding is dictated by law — even Neal Puckett agrees — there’s really no point in provoking a stiffer punishment.

No, this only reveals that the military is guilty.

Hawaii has no legally valid birth certificate for Obama. That is a fact. Every court in the world can sidestep that fact but it is what it is. All these court cases show us is how corrupt the system is.
