Oh John McCain. Now there is a guy who has a lot of credibility on FR. Hahaaha. Palin wanted to go after Obama about his past but old and dingbat McCain said no. The people were duped. The electoral college were handpick and partisan Rat electors. The courts like everyone else in society has find their backbone to do what is right.
Through the courts...not by military fiat, and that is the difference.
Quick question, shouldn’t it be “Article something-or-other” rights and not “Miranda Rights”?

You REALLY want courts thinking they have the right to throw out the results of our national elections? You want government, not of and by the people, but of judges?
Are you allowed to speak to me? ;p
Then in your opinion every man and woman should feel free, should have the duty, to refuse any order given? And is this true under all circumstances? Let's take the case of Lieutenant Ehren Watada, who believed that the war was illegal and refused an order to deploy. Did all the members of the armed forces have the duty to refuse any order given them by claiming that it might support an illegal war in Iraq until the President certified that the war was legal?
Absolutely I would. I took an oath to the Constitution - not you.
I served in the Carter Army. As much as I loathed that peckerwood it was unthinkable that I would not obey orders.
I suppose you haven't noticed Obama and the Dems in Congress are trying to turn the US of A into a banana republic. That's probably ok by you since you like it.
Hey! How about Obama be stand-up guy and prove to where he was from? He won't dooooo that because of why??
OUnds like an oath to the president, not the constitution.
I hope they lock you up in his place for spreading false information!
Lakin will have standing because you say he does? Now who has they crystal ball? Well, let’s make sure the judiciary is aware that Red Steel has spoken and has rewritten the definition of standing for them.
In a court-martial, the defendant has basically the same evidentiary rights, and the right to discovery, as someone in a civilian criminal trial.
The military judge will have two decisions to make in regard to the Obama BC. First, he will have to make a ruling on whether LTC Lakin can obtain the BC....then, there will have to be an additional ruling on whether Lakin can use it as evidence during his trial
The judge risks having the case overturned on appeal if he rules that Lakin cannot get the real Obama BC...or rules that he cannot use it. Since Lakin’s defense is based on Obama not being a legitimate CIC....any conviction would more than likely be overturned....
The Army will do everything possible not to Court-martial Lakin....but I believe Lakin will turn down all forms of Non-judicial punishment.
“Maybe I am naive...”
You are not pretentious. Very admirable.
Since Roberts is Lakin's brigade commander and immediate superior, it means that standard procedure is being followed, no more.
Oh, really? I'll bet you a Morton's steak dinner that Obama's name does not appear on any of colonel Lakin's deployment orders.
The courts do not certify elections. Congress does.
Suggest THE FEW “pseudo experts” on this thread read the UCMJ.
Most of us, I believe, support the Colonel!

The excessive laughter brings tears to my eyes.
