Everything I’ve read says that he’s a very capable surgeon. Financially, he’ll do well no matter what. The problem will be imprisonment. Honestly, though, he shouldn’t receive any greater punishment than what is the norm for missing movement.
If you miss movement because you’ll lose your girlfriend, or because you flee to Canada, that seems much more punishable than missing movement because of a significant political issue that you took a stand on (and with bad legal advice.)
You're just plain wrong. The military, in this case the Army, operates under the laws of Title 10 of the U.S. Code. Congress has granted authority for various military functions to various military officers via Title 10. Congress grants commissions to officers, which are signed by the POTUS. Those officers have statutory authority under Title 10 for their command.
That means their orders are lawful regardless of Obama's eligibility. An ineligible POTUS does not make Title 10 null and void.
The full sentence - and it helps to be able to read an entire sentence - runs:
"And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens: Provided, That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States: Provided also, That person heretofore proscribed by any State, shall be admitted as a citizen as aforesaid, except by an act of Legislature of the State in which such person was proscribed."
“He’s probably going to get hammered at sentencing.”
Time to disband the JAG Corps in all services. In the Lakin case they were just like the SS operating NAZI death camps. They were just “doing their job.”
If we want souless government functionaries then they need to be separate from the military. COL Lind is a disgrace to the uniform - there is nothing honorable in her. IMO she has spit on the constitution.
That's a disgraceful comment.
Major Dobson had to pack his bags on short notice, taking Lakin's spot in Afghanistan and tending to American soldiers wounded in battle He's the one true hero in this whole pitiful affair.
The military, the courts, all conservative media...the list goes on and on.
“How about including the links for that and the other data you post?”

” Also, as quoted in Wong Kim Ark, Justice Joseph Story once declared in Inglis v. Trustees of Sailors; Snug Harbor, 28 U.S. (3 Pet.) 99 (1830), that “Nothing is better settled at the common law than the doctrine that the children, even of aliens, born in a country, while the parents are resident there under the protection of the government, and owing a temporary allegiance thereto, are subjects by birth.” Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. at 660, 18 S. Ct. at 461 (quoting Inglis, 28 U.S. (3 Pet.) at 164 (Story, J., concurring))...
...Based upon the language of Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 and the guidance provided by Wong Kim Ark, we conclude that persons born within the borders of the United States are “natural born Citizens” for Article II, Section 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of their parents. Just as a person “born within the British dominions [was] a natural-born British subject” at the time of the framing of the U.S. Constitution, so too were those “born in the allegiance of the United States [] natural-born citizens.”15
Notes: 14 We note the fact that the Court in Wong Kim Ark did not actually pronounce the plaintiff a “natural born Citizen” using the Constitution’s Article II language is immaterial. For all but forty-four people in our nation’s history (the forty-four Presidents), the dichotomy between who is a natural born citizen and who is a naturalized citizen under the Fourteenth Amendment is irrelevant. The issue addressed in Wong Kim Ark was whether Mr. Wong Kim Ark was a citizen of the United States on the basis that he was born in the United States. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. at 705, 18 S. Ct. at 478.”
As a military retiree, I know that we shouldn’t have a debate and a vote every time we get deployment orders because someone questions them. That why the MCM states that orders given through ones normal chain should be presumed to be valid orders.
An Army at wartime is not a debating society.
what are a few lives to the great obama
Talking about nuts on the Internet:
I appreciate and honor Ltc. Lakin’s replacement’s service
and sacrifice as I always do for all our awesome troops.
And I’m sure the prosecution would make sure
that, in light of their mission, his replacement
would give a very rich testimony.
God bless and protect all our brave troops.
And it is an absolute embarrassment that such posts (and those who wrote them) are allowed to remain here on Free Republic.

bull hockey
you never presume they are valid
you are supposed to question any order you think may be illegal
The military, the courts, all conservative media...the list goes on and on.
... and half or more of all Free Republic users. Boy, you nailed that one. The Birther Narrative has significant collateral damage.
How about including the links for that
and the other data you post?
Just let me know what else that you would like a link to.
