Col. Lakin threw away his career, its accrued benefits, and (assuming this sentence holds) will spend six months in Leavenworth, and all his erstwhile supporters can say is “Lakin is done.” and let’s move on ?
Thanks for that clarification. All I’ve read in the various Lakin threads over the past few months was ‘Leavenworth.’ I guess everyone expected he’d do more than 6 months. That part, to me, is the brightest aspect of all this. Or least horrific. From what I’d read (and all I know is what I read here) he would have been lucky to get 18 months.
This whole thing has me depressed tonight. In all the civil actions, if the case was dismissed, it was dismissed. This is the only case where someone’s career is going up in smoke for challenging Obama’s eligibility. Well, except for Taitz, I guess. But her worst penalty is money and possibly loss of license to practice law; I’m not so sure that’s necessarily such a bad thing. She won’t be behind bars.
