You left out one group. The panel which convicted this Birther know it, too. All that is needed for evil to triumph is that good men do nothing. Maybe these were not good men; which only makes it worse!

I am hard-pressed to understand what exactly he would be guilty of.

"Missing a movement" is a crime in all military branches, very punishable. His contention is that the order for the movement was invalid because Obama had no authority to give it.

Silly man, I learned early on that you obey first, complain later. The only exception is if it's an order to commit an act that is obviously illegal in itself, like summarily executing a prisoner of war. A military movement is not in itself illegal, so this was a dumb move.

~~~~~~

Note: During sentencing deliberations, the members may each propose a sentence.

The sentences are then voted on in ascending order – i.e., from the most lenient to the most severe. Once a proposed sentence receives at least a 2/3-rds vote, that becomes the sentence of the court.

There are different rules in capital cases and cases in which the possibility of confinement exceeds ten years, but those rules don’t apply here.

There are eight members of the court-martial. To reach the two-thirds threshold requires six votes.

Sure you will. If you’re advising Lakin, you’re doing a great job of getting him hanged.

“If you remember Limbaugh & Liddy from back in the 90s, that was seriously great radio. It’s gone. “

Only once did Rush mention Mena, in much the same manner as he mentions the birth certificate.

George Putnam and Ray Briem had Larry Nichols and Carl from Oyster Bay on a lot. THAT was good radio.

"Hear this. Lakin's commanding officer has NO authority over Lakin unless it comes from that commander's superior officer and that chain of command continues going up until it rest with ONE man, POTUS."

The Chevelle on your home page is a work of art. Perhaps you should concentrate your efforts on something at which you excel.

I think he should be forced to listen to Michelle Obama delcare Kenya as Baraks home country, repeatedly on an endless loop for three weeks in solitary confinement. That’ll teach the little prig.

You just hit on something. Lakin should announce that he’s not a citizen and therefore was ineligible to join in the first place thus the Army court has no jurisdiction. And all he has to do is refuse to allow his BC to be released.

If his father was a citizen of Kenya, then he is illegitimate as President.

It is pretty simple.

Maybe his father was an American and his mother was a slut. That would make him illegitimate but not illegitimate as President.

That is the only rational reason that I can think of for him withholding the COLB.

Our Indonesian citizen President is not the son of a slut.

You cant be spreading rumers like that or you’ll end up in Leavenworth. So be careful, please.

Lakin should have argued that, Obuttma has openly claimed that Obuttma sr was his biological father and never was a US citizen, therefore Obuttma is at best a dual citizen. Because he is a dual citizen Obuttma can never legally hold the office of POTUS.

This is just...wrong. Under the laws of this country, a child born of American parents is an American citizen, regardless of where he/she is born. By the same token, any child born in this country of any parentage is also a citizen as well. Many other countries have similar laws. The whole concept of "dual citizenship" appears nowhere in the Constitution, and isn't really addressed under U.S. law at all because all we care about is what OUR laws say, not what citizenship criteria other countries may have.

Your "dual citizenship" argument would mean that any military brats born overseas, or any other American born to their 100% American parents overseas, would be ineligible to serve as President. Because under the laws of the country in which they were born, that country would consider them a citizen as well, just as we do in the U.S..

To: Red Steel; Non-Sequitur

IMHO, Lakin was used as a pawn, merely to intimidate other soldiers not to question BO’s legitimacy. I suspect Lakin will be sentenced to 24 months in prison for all 4 counts.
Of course, Lakin will appeal, but like Non-Sequitur, I think that his may be denied.

I totally agree.

On the video LTC Lakin explains to posterity, with journalists and the court reporter taking notes, that “The Emperor has no clothes” (of eligibility).

And now Mo Dowd has foolishly articulated both Lakin’s charge and the pathetic bare knuckle Obama defense: “I don't have to show you losers anything. Make me!”
