Federal judge dismisses reservist's suit questioning Obama's presidency
Ledger-Enquirer ^ | Thursday, Jul. 16, 2009 | Lily Gordon

A federal judge this morning dismissed the suit filed here by a U.S. Army reservist who says he shouldn't have to go to Afghanistan because he believes Barack Obama was never eligible to be president.

Judge Clay Land sided with the defense, which claimed in its response to Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook's suit, filed July 8 with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia, that Cook’s suit is “moot” in that he already has been told he doesn’t have to go to Afghanistan, so the relief he is seeking has been granted.

"Federal court only has authority of actual cases and controversies," Land said. "The entire action is dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction."

You can checkout Orly Taitz site (enclosed below) which she keeps very up-to-date. I’m sure she’ll post the trial date when she gets one:

The thing is, the judge *did* imply that he had standing by taking the case. He only dismissed it after relief was granted. Basically, Cook won by default.

I agree -- the Pentagon (and of course, Mr. Obama) BLINKED.

If the military wishes to prosecute a soldier when he is NOT active duty, EVEN if separated or retired, they will pull the person back on active duty, punish him under the UCMJ, then separate him from service.

In Major Cook's case, he still retains his commission, and therefore the ORIGINAL argument persists — OBAMA’s legitimacy is in question to be his (or anyone in the US Armed Forces) Commander in Chief.

A precedent has been set by the US Army revoking his orders, based upon his TRO, without punishment (rather retaliation) and outside of a claim of being a conscientious objector.

Deployment orders or not — Major Cook still cannot take orders from Mr. Obama until proven legitimate.

Major Cook still has standing.

Jindal would simply show his birth certificate before even running. Like any who is not a fraud would.

So I wish people who are chanting “Where's the birth certificate” would wake up and realize that anything Obama provides cannot be accepted. He (or his designated agents) forged his online COLB.

Exactly! Stop the "Where's the birth certificate?" chant and start the "Arrest them for fraud!" chant. You see, by forging those COLBs, Obama, his campaign, and Factcheck committed Federal (x1) document fraud, Internet fraud, voter fraud, and election fraud, and State (x50) document fraud, Internet fraud, voter fraud, and election fraud.

Throw in a little obstruction of justice as well.

My first question to you is, "What's the Court going to say about all that FRAUD in response to anything Obama hands them?"

"No harm, no foul?"

Now, my second question is, "Are you going to wake up and do something about it, like I have, by contacting your State's Attorney General (if you live in Colorado, Florida, or Michigan, you can rest easy because I've already contacted them.)

It would have been dismissed on lack of standing anyway.

Wrong. not this time.

They could have given this field grade officer a direct order to deploy, and had he disobeyed what would have been a lawful order on its face, he should have been subjected to court-martial. The Army would have been entirely within its rights to discipline and make an example of this officer, should others have the same idea.

I believe to a moral certainty that improper command influence was exerted from the very top of the chain of command to protect this lying crypto Marxist usurper bastard of a counterfeit POTUS from the exposure of trial discovery.

Only applies to criminal law. You may recall Billy Jeff's famous retroactive tax increase. It was upheld unanimously. As far as Congress rewriting citizenship law to cure a technical problem with Stanley Ann's age, that would be minor in comparison.

Normally, refusing an order to a combat zone is a serious breach of military disipline that brings many years in prison.

Read this slowly:

He...Never...Refused...The Order.

He questioned it's legitimacy and asked the Court to help determine that, but he never refused to go.

Then the lawmakers supporting such a bill would have to admit to abetting the success of a lying crypto Marxist demagogue who prevaricated, forged, and defrauded his way to the presidency. There might even be a few Democratic voters willing to put such people out of office.

Who didn’t see this coming? DoD cancels his orders to go to Afghan, then orders his employer to fire him. Case gone, job, too.

I thought that Jindal is the USA born offspring of naturalized parents, which is one definition of “natural born”.

I believe they became naturalized after he was born.

But it doesn't matter. Because of the 14th Amendment, he was a citizen at birth, and therefore a natural born citizen, since the Constitution neglects to provide a more specific definition of that term.

There would have to be more than a few to goad them into impeachment and removal. They would need to fear for their reelection.
