Judge Lind ruled that whether a valid President approved the use of force is IRRELEVANT to whether the deployment orders are lawful.
If that is true, then any brigade commander in the country could lawfully order troops to invade Iran today, and if anybody disobeyed those orders they would get the sentence Lakin got. They would not even be able to BRING UP the small, “irrelevant” fact that the only person lawfully able to authorize combat in Iran had never done so.
That’s what we’re talking about. That is how far the military leadership was willing to go in order to protect King Obama. They are willing to decree a lawless command structure to cover for Obama.
Obama’s coup has extended to the military, with the military leadership happily taking off her clothes and bending over for the perpetrator.
butter, the problem with your Iran theory is that such a deployment order would clearly be in violation of the War Powers Act and the AUMF. And anyone in the military would know that a brigade commander cannot issue deployment orders.
