Major Cook - Majorly Rejected
http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/292/story/779031.html ^

Posted on 07/16/2009 9:59:09 AM PDT by Fizziks

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."

But your words per minutes are probably outstanding!

If the rescending came from less than the WH, you are most likely correct. If, on the other hand, the rescending was instigated from the WH, it is likely the affirmative action figure fraud-in-chief made the move to avoid disclosure at some point in the future.

"Pardon me; but didn’t the Obama guys just set this military man up?"

I'm sorry, I don't understand the question. Set whom up for what?

You might have a point there. But even just questioning an order is usually a fatal career move in the military. However, his career options as a radio talk show host or future book author have dramatically improved!

Bttt!

Bttt!!!

BTTT!!!!

I just read the 08Jul09 restraining order, and to my non-legal mind, I believe you are correct. The Georgia Judge, though, dismissed it on the grounds that there was no longer any order.

Sounds like apples and oranges to me... but then i’m no lawyer.

Soooo, I’ll ask a dumbass question, just how exactly is a military member supposed to ask for discovery in a court regarding chosen1’s NBC status, if all the NCA has to do is rescind any orders issued?

Another dumbass question, why doesn’t somebody in Hawaii just blow the door down, grab the darned long form and air it out?

If this is the case, as you argue, then every Flag Officer now serving knows there's something to this ineligibility assertion.

That does not bode well for the White House should they find themselves in disagreement with the Pentagon.

We'll see more of this.

It would seem if amember of the military has that issue they can sue to ask if any further orders must be obeyed. Cook only asked if that particular order must be obeyed.

The headline is misleading. Obama blinked, wussied out. He didn’t prove he is Constitutionally qualified.

The way I see it, the judge made the legally correct decision because Obama put pressure on the Pentagon to release Major Cook from being deployed thus undercutting the whole basis of the lawsuit.

In other words, Obama gave Cook his remedy before the Court could, thus avoiding having to reveal his BC.

Hey Firmbss! That's another case. Your Boss is still on the hook.

Seems to me a family who lost a son or daughter who was on active duty would have standing.

I mean I would hate to make political hay over our brave soldiers, but we need to have a solid military, a solid chain of command, and a CIC who is unimpeachable.

Precisely!

This lawsuit would only be "unnecessary" if they just produced the long form birth certificate for Barrack Obama -- it's the fact that they have put so many people through so much just to hide it that makes it looks so fishy.

If the birth certificate (or lack of one) shows Obama to be ineligible for the US presidency, it won't just bring down Obama, it will bring down the entire Democratic Party who vetted him and those in the Republican Party (like McCain) who didn't demand proof of eligibility when there were obviously questions -- plus the top levels of the CIA and others in the intelligence community who might have had access to the truth and said nothing. It would prove corruption at the very highest levels of our government. This revelation could produce another violent American revolution that I am not sure that anyone is ready for.

As much as I want the birth certificate to be produced, I am well-aware of the potential consequences if it shows Obama's ineligibility.

But this political genie has been let out of the bottle and I doubt that it is going back in anytime soon!

I thought that he requested clarification of the President's standing to ensure that he was following a lawful order.

And that would appear to me to be the way to go.

Hussein would merely have to prove his standing now, nevermind all that has gone before.

A more simple but elegantly effective request.

Yeah, really, I'm not trolling, I just don't know.

I'd assume that the difference between questioning an order and disobeying one....would be the difference between getting assigned to Minot,ND (or some other Garden Spot) and immediate courtmartial.

So your point is we should all just surrender to King B. Hussein and his corrupt government minions.

The cupie doll winner. You've just answered a few of the many reasons why the resistance to this issue is so high. So many people and institution will be tarred if Obama is a foreigner. You can throw in the sorry Lame Stream Media.

Maj. Cook, the brave patriot, filed suit over a deployment for which he had volunteered.

I don't know if he's going to be punished or not -- beyond being fired from his day job and being called Blue Falcon by his fellow soldiers -- but I hope that no one is dumb enough to refuse to comply with an involuntary deployment on similar grounds.

As you say, the military is not shy about punishing people for refusing to follow orders.

wrong case, wrong court, wrong state and wrong judge

That's ok. Obama's got the wrong ideas, wrong century, wrong country, and wrong constitution.... and no amount of red bull or china white will excuse that!

The judge ruled with a little help from Obama.
