“This court’s declaration is tantamount to declaring that all officers have authority inherent in themselves and independent of the President.”
The way I see it is that all military personnel have authority flowing from a legitimate President; and all military personnel - E1 and up - are charged with obeying legitimate orders.
The legitimacy of Obama’s “Presidency “ is the question being avoided.

Are you also questioning the legitimacy of every order given in every branch of service since January 2009?
