The group backing Birther Army Doctor Terrence Lakin as he makes his way through the military justice system announced today that Lakin is waiving a preliminary hearing that was set for Friday.
Lt. Col. Lakin refused orders on the grounds that Barack Obama is not eligible to be president. It is now up to Maj. Gen. Karl Horst, Military District of Washington Commander, to decide if the case will go to trial, said Chuck Dasey, spokesman at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, where Lakin is assigned.
The American Patriot Foundation said in a press release: Saying that the Army has made it "impossible for me to present a defense" at the Article 32 "preliminary hearing" previously scheduled for June 11, 2010, Lt. Colonel Terrence Lakin has officially waived -cancelled--that proceeding. Therefore, the case will move inexorably on to a General Court Martial.

BS troll.
and this court isnt going to subpoena Obama or his records. Its just a waste a good man is doing this to himself.
You should redirect your efforts against the Kenyan in the White House Obot. Lakin is a strategic thinker. He obviously thinks it is a worthy cause.
If there is a general court martial conviction, Obama could pardon Lakin and look very good and benevolent. He would be using Lakin. It would be another invite the Cambridge, Massachusetts police officer over for a beer moment. Ya gotta study Obamas M.O.
That will be the day in a pig's eye. LOL! The Kenyan clown is thin-skinned.
“He isn’t going to convince anyone who isn’t already convinced and this court isn’t going to subpoena Obama or his records.”
He’s is not issuing a subpoena for Obama’s records. The record belong to the People. Obama is using his right of privacy to keep the records maintained and controlled by the People sealed.
Lakin is entitled to a vigorous and affirmative defense. We assume the records Obama can’t let the public see will, in fact, be made public. But, it’s not necessary. The records can be entered as evidence and sealed by a closed court after Lakin uses them to defend himself.
This Dasey character leaked it to the web site you posted.
In this case, it appears that TPM was the first media source to make an inquiry and Dasey issued a statement. Whether it was a formal press release or not remains to be seen but he appears to have responded to a media request for information about the cancellation of the Lakin Article 32 hearing.
I do not know if Dasey’s response was over the phone, via email or in a written statement. But it certainly appears to have been a written statement in format.
If you have just a bit of patience, we should all know with 100 percent certainty in pretty short order whether or not Major General Karl Horst, Military District of Washington Commander is truly going to be the person to decide if the case will go to trial.
Yeah, imagine stupid stuff like self-sacrifice, bravery, standing up for the truth, having convictions that don’t melt when conflicting with self interest. How last century. I mean, what’s the future of the country compared to a pension!??!
Every man for himself, and who cares about principle or truth.
Yeah!
The de facto officer doctrine does not apply to Lakin because he made his concerns as to the eligibility of the CiC publicly know before POTUS was sworn in.
The de facto officer doctrine applies to defendants who raise concerns about the officer’s authority AFTER he is convicted. Lakin raised concerns before he was even charged.
Betcha a steak dinner that’s not how it comes out.
TPM is a left wing site...but guess you knew this.
Very left and it knew it.

My gut is telling me this stinks. The connection to TPM and the Army is alarming. There is nothing in the news regarding this so called press release.

“FREE THE LONG FORM!”
Standing is the legal right to initiate a civil lawsuit. This is a criminal trial. If Lakin is convicted then his right to appeal his conviction is guaranteed.
The officer presiding over Lakin's Article 32 hearing has already said Obama's documents are irrelevant to the charges Lakin is facing.
FREE THE LONG FORM!
Obama pays the Huff-Trolls to do just that - troll:
Huffington Post, Obama, Obama campaign paid Huffington Post $ 55354 in 2008
So it would seem.
Nathan Hale threw away much more for just such ephemera, and only regretted he had no more to give.
