And NO MILITARY COURT is going to rule on the validity of an election for President!

That's perhaps the only correct thing you typed in your Obama-supporting diatribe.
Here you go ... you've earned them:

Photobucket


First of all, it's not about the “validity of an election for President,” rather to have the SCOTUS define “natural born citizen.” It's to answer an UNANSWERED question.

As John W. Guendelsberger — who Barack Obama appointed to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) in August — said regarding US v. Wong Kim Ark (169 U.S. at 653):

“In particular, the Court noted the Constitution's requirement that the President be a “natural-born citizen,” a condition whose meaning could be derived only by reference to English common law in existence at the time (1992) – see US v. Wong Kim Ark (1898), referencing Minor v. Happersett (1874).

Second of all, to get to the Federal Court system, Lt Col Lakin needs injury to derive legal Standing. And that's what the “MILITARY COURT” will give him ;)

Unless they should determine him innocent because the order was illegal.

Maybe not likely, but with a jury or the non JAG members of a Court, you never can completely predict what might happen.

Feel free to stuff your knee pads where your noggin is - deep in your rear.

The intent of the ‘natural born citizen’ phrase was, if you read folks who ratified the Constitution, to prevent someone from Europe moving here, becoming a citizen, and then running for President. It was to prevent someone whose natural loyalty might lie elsewhere from taking office.

It has since then been defined by Congress.

Obama was born in the US, with a US citizen for his mother. To argue having a Kenyan father who abandoned him means his primary loyalty moved to Kenya is stupid. To argue that a presidential election - and yes, the question WAS raised during the election - should be overturned because Obama’s father was Kenyan - IF Obama Sr WAS Barry’s father, is also stupid. No court in the land would consider it for a moment.

“Second of all, to get to the Federal Court system, Lt Col Lakin needs injury to derive legal Standing. And that’s what the “MILITARY COURT” will give him ;)”

Not a chance in hell. The only thing the military court will look at is “Has the LTC disobeyed a lawful order?” And the civilian court is not going to overturn a conviction based on the idea that Obama isn’t really President.

Y’all live in fantasy land. You’d have better odds if you prayed that God would smite Obama with an asteroid.

“No one will be asking them to rule on the validity of the election, but rather of eligibility of the winner of that election.”

No military court will consider investigating or ruling on that issue. Neither will any other court. Obama won the election. By a comfortable margin. The courts would rule that the people had ample opportunity to investigate Obama and decide for themselves if he qualified - and they said yes.

At best, they would defer to Congress. And no, Congress isn’t going to overturn the election either.

Obama was born in Hawaii. His mother was an American. Fantasizing that he was born in Kenya, and that a court will overturn the election based on his really being a Kenyan is STUPID!

Now you're thinking like Orly! (the court may decide he injured himself with his own behavior)
