No, it was not a Supreme Court ruling - but Lakin testified that his lawyer told him the orders were legal, that he now agrees, and wishes he had obeyed them.

He plead GUILTY to disobeying orders, which required him to accept the idea that his orders were lawful.

Now, how many members of Congress have stated that the military should disobey all orders? Has ANY court ever said that? And how many of these cases has the Supreme Court taken?

I would love to see Obama impeached, but until then, he is the President of the US. Anyone claiming otherwise is delusional.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT about removing Obama from office.

It **is** about the Rule of Law and the Constitution!

If Obama is a natural born citizen then he has every right to be occupying the White House. If he is NOT a natural born citizen then he is a criminal and a usurper.

All members of the military are required to request clarification of orders perceived to be unlawful and must refuse to obey unlawful orders—e.g. an order to shoot that prisoner is clearly illegal and must NOT be followed, must ask, what chu sayin’ sir? and if sir bellows I said shoot him, you better believe shooting him is NOT the answer. If someone known to be a SP4 puts on a COL’s uniform and starts issuing orders: Take that position—no one is required to follow that order—you starting to get the picture?
