Absolutely, I agree he was ordered to support a directive provided BY THE WHITE HOUSE, thus it was ignorant and incorrect for Judge Lind to rule that Obama and his lack of eligibility were irrelevant.

William Winthrop, who is the "Blackstone" of US military law stated this:

Military law and precedents (1896)


Judge Lind was not being truthful.

Judge Lind was correct in the law. Yes, military officers represent the POTUS, but the legality of their orders comes from statutory law written by Congress, specifically Title 10. Their commissions are granted by Congress and signed by the POTUS.

Remember basic Goverment 101 from elementary school? The Legislative branch makes law. The Executive enforces law. The Judicial interprets law.

Congress makes officers' orders legal. The CIC enforces their orders through the chain of command.

“Judge Lind was not being truthful.”

And a cowardly/souless functionary as well. Thanks for posting that. However, the attorney’s here, and former JAGs, like OldDeckHand don’t respect anything but their own opinions.
