You are entitled to hope.
Are you a JAG officer?
No, because They'd be strictly ruling on a constitutional issue. Obama being thrown out of office because of fraud perpetrated on the United States would be consequences of their ruling.
By the people? The US is a Constitutional Republic. The people can change the Constitution by amendment if they have that desire.
When an election was won through fraud, then absolutely we need a safeguard for ensuring honest elections. Whether that's the court system or Congress, we need enforcement of the Constitution. Why would you tolerate fraud??
“Hey! How about Obama be stand-up guy and prove to where he was from?”
He has, to everyone with authority to make a decision. And EVERY SINGLE ONE has decided he was eligible.
The military doesn’t get to overturn the decisions of elected officials, and the courts don’t get to decide Obama’s eligibility.
Read the Constitution before you claim you support it.
I served in the LBJ Army and the Carter Army and I completely agree with you.
Rogers, there’s no proof anyone decided Obama was eligible. They accepted a self-declaration via affadavits for candidacy. It’s an honor system that was abused. It just happens that now we have Americans who are trying to correct that abuse of the system. Just because people were successfully fooled doesn’t make the claims truthful, no offense to you.
gotta citation?
And in that case, the issue of his birth certificate would be irrelevant. No one says that Hitler's orders to wage an aggressive war and kill 6 million Jews were illegal because he wasn't the legitimate ruler of Germany.
“...folks supporting him should be concentrating on fighting Obama where it counts - in elections.”
Except that elections don’t produce change anymore. Time after time we are faced with voting for Tweedldumb or Tweedledumber and time after time we end up dumber than any of them. What is that “old saying” about doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results? Our elections are no longer decided by the people but by the media which is controlled by Big Business— the same Big Business that has benefitted so well from the Obama administration.
I don’t know if we can get rid of that SOB by making him show his birth certificate but I think it’s certainly worth a try. Come November we’ll surely elect a bunch of Republicans but we’ve done that before and the only difference between them and the Democrats is the speed at which we get led, pushed, shoved down that primrose path to socialism.
Aanother thread yesterday suggested that we need more statesmen and fewer politicians. Right now we’re so overrun with politicians that true statesmen can’t be seen in the crowd. November will just see a different group of politicians in power. They’ll carefully read their lines from the teleprompters (lines written by someone else,) gatiously accept the office they’ve been elected to and blithely ignore their constituents... just like the politicians in there right now!
Elections don’t work! Will the birth certificate issue work? I don’t know. Maybe not, but if we don’t try it we’ll never know and it certainly won’t work if we don’t try.
I believe you are incorrect in that. As much as Lakin would like to make it all about Obama, it's not. It is about his refusal to deploy with his unit or his refusal to obey the order of his commanding officer. Obama did not personally pick this officer for deployment, nor did he personally order the unit to deploy. There is no way to tie Obama with these charges other than some vague "but he's the commander-in-chief" nonsense, so there is no way to link Obama's actions with these charges. No judge will allow disclosure of anything relating to Obama based on that.
OOps! Sorry for the misspelled words. I was in a hurry.
What's likely to happen is that when a real birth certificate finally emerges, it will demonstrate that Obama has committed massive criminal fraud against the people of the United States of American. His eligibility may be a secondary issue at that point.
“To do what?”
To stand?
The first duty of a soldier is obedience, and without this there can be neither discipline nor efficiency in an army. If every subordinate officer and soldier were at liberty to question the legality of the orders of the commander, and obey them or not as they may consider them valid or invalid, the camp would be turned into a debating school, where the precious moment for action would be wasted in wordy conflicts between the advocates of conflicting opinions. McCall v. McDowell, 1 Abb. 212 (Cir. Ct. D. California 1867)
He has not. Only koolaid drinking Dems and the duped believe it. Here is another opportunity for Obama again [LoL] for him to prove it in court. He can show his genuine BC.
Read the Constitution before you claim you support it.
More than you do. I don't need a web link since I have my own hard copy and have read it ... many times over.
Your post was fair, well thought out and imo raised a good point.
