I admit that I was born at night, but not last night. You clearly aren’t listening to what I am saying. I don’t have an argument against the issue. The point that I made and will continue to make is that active duty military personnel do this at their peril, especially commissioned officers.

The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court swore the man in, the Congress accepted the votes of the Electoral College. The military’s job is to follow the orders of their Commander-in-Chief. The Congress and the Judiciary have the responsibility to deal with a usurper.

And you would do well to limit your comments to the points of your argument, rather than attacking those who disagree with your view.

My understanding is that these fine men and women do a lot of things at their peril.

Lt Col. Lakin trying to get this into court so that the judicial system can have a say in the matter. That's exactly how it's supposed to work. Other people have tried to do this for many months, but are typically told that they "have no standing".

The judicial system cannot act until someone with standing steps forward. Looks like Lakin may be the one.

Yes, but many of the cases that have been brought have been killed in their infancy because of "lack-of-standing" on the part of those bringing suit. The civilian courts are clearly ducking the whole issue. Perhaps it's going to take a military court-martial to break the dam?

I respect what you're trying to say, however.
