UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

Western district of Texas

CPT Connie Rhodes MD,
Plaintiff,

v.

Dr ROBERT GATES, UNITED
STATES SECRETARY OF DEFENSE,
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, de facto
PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES,
Defendants.

APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER

Plaintiff Captain Dr. Connie Rhodes has received what appear to be facially valid orders mobilizing her to active duty with the United States Army in Iraq on September 5th, 2009 (Exhibit A). Captain Rhodes is both a US army officer and a medical doctor, a flight surgeon. On May 15th of this year 501 brigade out of Fort Campbell, KY, currently stationed in Iraq, has requested a support of medical personal in Iraq. Two days ago, August the 23rd, an order was given through the chain of command via e-mail for Captain Rhodes to arrive in San Antonio TX, Fort Sam Houston for Tactical Combat Medical Care Course (TCMC) to be held from August 30th till September 4t and next day, on September the 5th to arrive in Fort Benning in Columbus GA for immediate deployment to Iraq for a period of one year and twelve days from September 5th, 2009 until September 17th 2010. Captain Dr. Connie Rhodes wants to serve her country and fulfill her tour of duty, however as a US army officer and a medical doctor she has severe reservations regarding legitimacy of Barack Obama as the Commander in Chief and repercussions of her service under his orders, particularly in light of mounting evidence of him having allegiance to other Nations and citizenship of Kenya, Indonesia and Great Britain.

“It’s not spelled out as an allowable affirmative defense in UA cases according to the manual for courts-martial, or in any case law in which I’m familiar.”

My only caveat would be that it is a defense to disobedience of a lawful order that the order was not lawful - in fact, that’s one of the elements the prosecution has to prove, and if a proper defense motion was filed, OR the 32 officer (ought to be a JAG, but the Army doesn’t normally do that) had the stones, it might be come an issue at the 32.

For crying out loud, can’t the man simply show the public his birth certificate?

[jagusafr]

I’m guessing as just a Captain, she probably still owes them some time.

Agreed - and a Med Corps Captain is a baby officer - most of them make O-4 in less than 2 years. And the “volunteer” part is over once you’ve committed, until your commitment is up. I know YOU know that, just making the observation.

I believe Obama will be removed from office...don’t know what calamity it may take or what kind of power he will try to weild before it happens.

[jagusafr]

Two’s in, OldDeckHand. You have it exactly right; however, if I were defending this one, I’d demand that the disobedience of a lawful order charge and spec be addressed before anything else. If the order’s determined to be unlawful, all the other charges go away.

Colonel, USAFR

Obama has a document that is prima fascia evidence of his birth in HI.

Does he?

No one who is not FIRMLY in his camp claims to have seen the actual document. Even his political supporters have never claimed to have seen the full birth certificate.

All we peons have ever seen, all a "neutral" judge has ever seen, all any federal government official has seen is a few images on a computer screen.

And each reissue an image of the several versions of that alleged document 'magically' filling in details that someone (usually Polarik or Beckwith) pointed out were missing in the latest version.

Don't you think that it's the teensiest bit suspicious that the second version at 1/4 the resolution of the first version shows the impressed state seal (wrong version for the date issued, btw) while it was invisible on the high rez version????

[null and void]

but it’s an ALL VOLUNTEER Army.

LOL!

wow, just wow.

“what happens if Obama gives orders to commit a war crime?”

Thanks for asking that question. We (JAGs) brief the troops on the Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC) a minimum of once a year, and one of the major issues is disobedience of orders. Basically, you disobey an order at your peril, but an unlawful order (to violate the Geneva Convention) needs to be reported immediately, and we tell them exactly how to do that (up the chain, report to the IG, tell the chaplain, etc.).

The soldier can't refuse involuntary deployment orders

A soldier must refuse unlawful orders.

Remember Mi Lai?

You have done and are doing a superb job in legal efforts to protect the US Constitution against fraud and resultant tyranny. It is ironic but understandable that you a former subject of communist despotism should as an American citizen lead the battle in defense of our Constitutional representative government against a usurper led or abetted growing socialist tyranny that many of our fellow citizens seem not to recognize. You know the face of the enemy, while most of our people do not. We American people overall do not begin to understand or appreciate what you are doing for us. I do. You have the strength of moral right and the letter of the Constitution on our side, and eventually, you will prevail. Thank you for your courage, patriotism and zeal in addressing what appears to be a horrendous political crime against our republic.

“The law is obviously not my area of expertise, so I’m just curious, what happens if Obama gives orders to commit a war crime?”

Whether he is legitimately POTUS or not, an order to commit what one knows to be a “war crime” must be disobeyed. If not, you become just as subject to prosecution. However, his being of an extreme liberal bent, I don’t POTUS Obama would ever issue an order to commit a “war crime.” He is actually going to extreme measures, IMO hurting the military, to ensure that none are committed. The rules of engagement in Afghanistan, to “protect” civilians, are in my opinion putting our military personnel in a dangerous situation and setting them up for tactical failure. That, of course, is my opinion and carrys no weight.

There must be something on that LFBC that prevents him from doing as McCain did, and just releasing the Long Form. Love to know what it is. If it’s a big issue, he will regret not letting it out when he was popular, and he would have gotten a pass, and called it old news.

Lt. Quarles Harris (passport break in) was killed and there's been no investigation that I can find. That's a red flag. I'm not so sure the problem is the long form. The natural born status didn't get any traction from the COLB but then we all know he's not natural born by his personal statements and his books. Sure, it would be great if there's no authoritative witness, hospital, etc. but I suspect the bc is just more smoke and mirrors he's so skilled at. Remember, he's locked down everything from the bc to the day he walked into Congress. What else is out there that we're missing while focusing so much time on the bc? Of course we can multi-task with the college records and his not so good buddies and his passports but the majority of the focus (well spent and all but...) is on the bc and his delaying it is also delaying us getting into other suspicious areas. He and his handlers have had years to work on their play book. They aren't dumb. They'll drag it out and drag it out and let the media have a field day with the kooky right-winged Birthers and when it can't be delayed any longer, he'll triumphantly whip out the vault bc showing everything we've asked for. He will be victorious and lord it over anyone who has ever questioned him. That will shut down any further questions into the passports and college scholarships and social security numbers and real estate scams and dual citizenship and selective service and his muslim faith and everything else. That will be the end of the republic and America.

One would think that every US citizen would have a “tangible interest in the vital record” but apparently HI and Hussein don’t.

Many times, what might be perceived as a simply logical argument with respect to a criminal defense is the polar opposite from what defense is actually allowed. It's tough to swallow for law school students, and sometimes impossible to grasp for the layman.

But but but isn't this court where justice is applied???

No, young man, this is a court of Law, where law is applied, sometime we achieve justice, but out goal is to follow the law.

Cook’s orders being rescinded made some waves; what happens when dozens of our military file suit, all to have their orders revoked?

If only they would en masse.

[Sola Veritas]

I checked CPT Rhodes out on AKO (Army Knowledge Online). She is an Active Duty (regular army) Medical Corps CPT. That means they just can’t blow her off like they did MAJ Cook because he was a reserve “volunteer.” I think she is very brave to do this, as was MAJ Cook. I don’t what to denigrate Dr. Taitz, she is a sincere person, but I do wished CPT Rhodes had an attorney with a little more gravitas.

Posters like you are the reason I monitor FReep. Thanks for the excellent clarification.

"Would that not cause the state of Hawaii to open the sealed "birth certificate" for examination? "

Not at all. What the State of HI now issues called - Certification of Live Birth - is prima fascia evidence of birth, and that has been tested in court, all the way to the Supreme Court - it's settled law. Now, the only other hurdle to get over would be to verify the authenticity of such a document. For that, all Obama would need to supply would be a sworn affidavit from an appropriate HI officials stating that the document was genuine and hasn't been altered in any way. That's it. Case over.

Don't shoot the messenger.
