This illustrates the consequences of a judiciary that has been compromised by the State, and is too timid to seek justiice no matter how it affects those in power.

We had a similar case almost 10 years ago with a similar outcome:

Julie Foster reports (WorldNetDaily.com, 10/19/00) that “The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces ended its 2000 regular term without rendering an opinion on the case of Army Specialist Michael New, who was court-martialed and given a bad-conduct discharge for refusing to wear a U.N. uniform and submit to the command of a foreign officer.

“While serving stationed in Germany in 1995, New was among a few hundred troops President Clinton sent to Macedonia on a peacekeeping mission dispatched by the United Nations. The soldier chose not to obey what he calls an illegal order to remove his American military uniform patch in favor of the insignia and blue beret of the United Nations, saying he would not serve a foreign power.

“Consequently, New was slapped with a court-martial charging he had refused to obey a ‘lawful’ order. ...

“Oral arguments were heard by a five-member panel of civilian judges on Feb. 4, and expectations were for a quick decision. However, the court concluded its 2000 session on Sept. 30 without making a decision on the case. ...”

A judge in Georgia has dismissed a case brought by a U.S. Army reservist whose orders to deploy to Afghanistan were jerked when he challenged President Obama’s eligibility, telling the officer’s lawyer the case would be handled better in Florida where the lawyer lives.

Well, I’m “keeping my powder dry” until I see what the Judge(a Marine) in Santa Ana, CA rules on a pending case filed by Major Cook & his attorney Orly Taitz.
