will be forced to prove his citizenship (or not).

U.S. Army Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook, set to deploy to Afghanistan, says he shouldn’t have to go. His reason? Barack Obama was never eligible to be president because he wasn’t born in the United States. Actually, Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961, two years after it became a state. Cook’s lawyer, Orly Taitz, who has also challenged the legitimacy of Obama’s presidency in other courts, filed a request last week in federal court seeking a temporary restraining order and status as a conscientious objector for his client. In the 20-page document — filed July 8 with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia — the California-based Taitz asks the court to consider granting his client’s request based upon Cook’s belief that Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States and is therefore ineligible to serve as commander-in-chief of the U.S. Armed Forces. Cook further states he “would be acting in violation of international law by engaging in military actions outside the United States under this President’s command. ... simultaneously subjecting himself to possible prosecution as a war criminal by the faithful execution of these duties.” Cook, a reservist, received the orders mobilizing him to active duty on June 9. According to this document, which accompanies Cook’s July 8 application for a temporary restraining order, he has been ordered to report to MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla., on Wednesday. From there, the Florida resident would go to Fort Benning before deploying overseas. A hearing to discuss Cook’s requests will take place in federal court here Thursday at 9:30 a.m.
I understand the argument, it’s just not the time or place.
Somebody should have mentioned in the title in brackets () that the dtory made Drudge! Maybe mods can fix it. Hopefully Rush and others will mention it - Savage, Levin.
What happened? DOes the LA TImes have it right?
Does JAG get involved since he is MIL?
excellent
As Rush has said, neither God nor Obama has produced a birth certificate
Unfortunately, not my favorite freeper, NonSequitur is right (ouch, that actually hurt to say).

That should read (Soldiers) not Vets.
The article misstates the suit that was filed. It does not request “conscientious objector” status for the major other than his objection to taking orders from an illegitimate authority. The entire suit can be seen here:

This is the suit that on pages 9-10 raises the question of whether Obama used 39 different Social Security numbers. Nobody seems to have realized this could be the thing that could have more impact than the long form BC.
The Major is an idiot. He needs to do his job - the President is the CinC.
I would like to suggest that you read the case concerning Freeper Major Cook so you will know what is going on. When you read the case information you will also find that the article posted above is full of untruths. Unless you read the information from Major Cook you will not have a clue as to what is happening.
You may also be interested in what happened yesterday in another case with Dr. Orly in California. The case will be heard.
Major Cook's hearing is this coming Thursday and he has support of Freepers across the US. God Bless Major Cook.
No court will ever help turn this rock over for fear of what it will find. The doctrinaire judiciary fails America yet again.
How do we know? Nobody has seen proof of this.
I'll bet this soldier could provide proof of his birthplace in minutes, as could all of us on this thread.
C'mon Barry. Cough it up.
Anyone notice how certain people never post here and as soon as a legal case comes along threatening Obama his legal team crawls out of the sewers.
Should there be a class action suit?
“What happens to this case if Orly isn’t accepted to practice in GA since it is already filed?”
Please tell us why you think Orly would not be allowed to practice in GA?
Need to see/read the material on this thread.
Frantzie, did you read the LA TImes article?...Sotry was also picked up by AP.
Actually, missing movement would be dealt with on an individual case basis. I don’t think an E-2or3 would get this kind of publicity, or concern at the level this guy is. Nowadays, they would probably just give him a discharge, and we would never hear about it again.
Here’s the problem with trying to take care of this after the fact: how difficult would it be for the POTUS to get a well made forged copy of his birth certificate?
