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."
If Obama is a Usurper and these people have knowledge about it they should be tried as accessories.
Me too! It is obvious that Obama is hiding something pretty big and it’s past time to find out what it is.
Jindal is eligible. He was born in Louisiana.
BHO controls the Secret Service, the military, and all other federal law enforcement agencies. They will not remove him IMHO.
She may, but I don’t see her very happy right now. If she had the goods, it seems like she would be leveraging for better treatment.
It wouldn’t take 40,000 troops to make an impact.
There are about 40 brigades in the army. Around 3,500 soldiers per brigade.
A brigade cannot deploy with less than 95% strength and every deployment is close to that number at the time of deployment. (Pregnant females, illness, etc. This is NORMAL.)
If 50-100 people in every brigade refused to go based on this president, it would cripple the entire military.
KEEP IN MIND, we only have half the brigades deployed at any given time.
SO, at a minimum, we’d only need 50 soldiers x 20 brigades (at least 1,000 men) to refuse to go and a real mess would be made.
The military would combat this by pulling people from non-deploying units to fill the empty slots, but if the efforts were organized so that law suits were filed within a couple of days of the unit beginning to deploy, it would turn commanders’ hair gray with a quickness.
The DOD *has* to court martial this guy. If they don’t, many soldiers will gather the courage to follow in his foot-steps. (Trust me, the bulk of the military doesn’t like this guy.) Quite literally, the army will have set the legal precedence to allow soldiers to strike.
Not only that, but precedence will be set to allow solders to come home from a deployment.
Our army could cripple this administration simply by sitting down.
See my post #86.
I understand your allowing that Congress has a function of impeachment, but is eligibilty a high crime? I believe that the SCOTUS must be able to rule on Obama's eligibility for the office. Then it will be up to the Congress to address the matter if Obama is found ineligible.
Remember the clinton’s MO is to sit and wait until the best moment then strike. She will come out of this administration as her favorite “victimhood” status - the leftist theory of the woman who was once again wronged by a man so let’s give her the presidency. It worked for the senate seat she got. She didn’t leave bill whenever he humiliated her in public, she used it to promote her ambitions.
If they did that, why then would they have joined our armed forces - voluntarily - in the first place?
I’ve never heard he was legally adopted by his step-dad.
You underestimate this woman. Why did Obama run from the case by allowing the Major not to deploy? Remember that he was fired from his civilian defense position.... where then lies another case per the Federal Whistleblower’s Protection Act (sp?).
You wrote-
“Looks like Taitz claimed victory too soon.”
Agreed.
But there is no way the Supreme Court would take it upon itself to order him removed. They take the separation of powers very seriously. If it were proven he was born in Mombasa, the Court would shake a stick at Article II, Section 4 and toss the hot potato in Congress's lap. Congress would amend the aspect of the law that makes him a noncitizen if born in Mombasa (mother needing to have resided in the US for five years past the age of 14 or whatever). Obama would sign the legislation, and that would be that.
Unless, of course, the public rose up in an epic uproar over the whole situtation, such that Congress feared for their reelection. Then he'd be impeached, and Roberts would don his fanciest robes and stroll down to the Senate to preside over his removal.

I don’t know what the court martial charge would be.
He did not fail to perform his duty- he only questioned the legality of the order. That is something all military members pledge to do ... carry out only legal orders issued by proper authority.
His request for the CinC to verify himself was respectfully pursued in a court of law, did not impose an unreasonable burden on Obama. Anyone can produce a certified birth cerfificate issued by our state, for about $10.
The Supreme Court has already tossed aside this stuff before....

The justices do not deem it worthy.
Well, I’m not clear on this as well. Was not his name changed from Obama to Soetero which would imply his stepfather adopted him? Even though I’ve read four books on BHO there is a lot about him I don’t know. I don’t know what country he was born in. I don’t know if he became an Indonesian citizen. I have no idea how he got into Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard or what is grades were. There are a lot of unanswered questions about this man and he is very secretive about his past and concealing important documents, records, and transcripts.
You may be proven right in time.
