Press Release: Army Refers Charges Against Lakin To Court Martial
Safeguard Our Constitution ^ | August 2, 2010 | Margaret Hemenway

Posted on 08/02/2010 5:29:53 AM PDT by captjanaway

Washington, D.C., August 2, 2010. The Army has now referred charges against LTC Terrence Lakin for a General Court Martial. This action triggered the appointment of a Military Judge to preside over the trial, which will likely be scheduled before October, and held in Washington, D.C. at Ft. McNair.

On August 6, 2010 at Ft. McNair in Washington, D.C., the court will convene for the purpose of Judge Lind taking Lakin’s plea to the charges which consist of “missing movement” and of refusing to obey orders. Today Lakin stated: “I am not guilty of these charges, and will plead ‘not guilty’ to them because of my conviction that our Commander-in-Chief may be ineligible under the United States Constitution to serve in that highest of all offices. The truth matters. The Constitution matters. If President Obama is a natural born citizen then the American people deserve to see proof, and if he is not, then I believe the orders in this case were illegal.” If convicted, Lakin faces up to four years at hard labor in a federal penitentiary.

"That ludicrous decision by that judge was based in part on an image found on the internet. Beyond ridiculous."

No, that document had absolutely no impact on that particular judge's decision. That judge - Land I believe, granted defendant's motion dismiss for one reason - plaintiff's failed to meet the requisite obligation of standing. That's it.

Land then goes on to editorialize about the case generally - as judges almost always do, irrespective of granting MTD - in what is known as "orbiter dicta" which is Latin legal phrase translated as "said by the way". Dicta has absolutely no precedential value, at all. That's why it's called editorializing.

Obama wrote a book called “Dreams for My Father” in 1995. That was twelve years before he decided to run for president. In that book he wrote that he found his original birth certificate in a box.

“I can't escape the feeling that Lakin’s lawyers are representing their cause, with him as a vehicle for it.”

“I can't help but think that you came up with that feeling, because that it is how you would act.”

I can't help but think you didn't really read much of what I said. Either that or you're one of those who thinks being gratuitously and feebly nasty is a hallmark of the true conservative.

"For example, as his lawyer, you're obligated to provide the best dang Article 32 responses you can."

Why he waived his Article 32 rights is a mystery. If Lakin wants to build an appeal based upon ineffective assistance of counsel, there's a good place to start.

We talked about this already. There was no news release statement from the health director that says that Obama was born in any hospital in Hawaii. The health director wrote in an e-mail that that she had consulted the Attorney General before making her statment to make sure she didn’t say anything wrong.

The publicly released statement says that Hawaii “has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures”. In no where in that statement does the health director say where the birth certificate was from, so my guess is that the the governor has no real clue.

People asked the AG’s office for info related to the public release. The attorney’s office stated that this would violate client’s right to secrecy. However, when someone sued based on the fact that all information related to public statements must be made public per Hawaii law, the attorney’s office immediately denied having contact with the health director on this matter. Either the health director lied or the attorney’s office did.


Is there a constitutional requirement that a president be born in a hospital?
Here are the Director of Health’s statements one more time:”
For Immediate Release: October 31, 2008
STATEMENT BY DR. CHIYOME FUKINO
“There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official birth certificate. State law (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes §338-18) prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record.
“Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.
“No state official, including Governor Linda Lingle, has ever instructed that this vital record be handled in a manner different from any other vital record in the possession of the State of Hawai‘i.”

“I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, director of the Hawaii State Department of Health, have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawaii State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen. I have nothing further to add to this statement or my original statement issued in October 2008 over eight months ago.”—July 27, 2009

Now who do you think that a judge is going to believe? The Governor of the state (who is a member of the opposing political party), the Director of Health, the Attorney General and the Registrar of Records or some plaintiff challenging Obama’s birthplace with no proof.

As one federal judge said: “A spurious claim questioning the President’s constitutional legitimacy may be protected by the First Amendment, but a Court’s placement of its imprimatur upon a claim that is so lacking in factual support that it is frivolous would undoubtedly
disserve the public interest.
CONCLUSION
For the reasons previously stated, Plaintiff’s motion for a
temporary restraining order is denied and Plaintiff’s complaint is dismissed in its entirety. Defendants shall recover their costs from Plaintiff.“–US Federal District Court Judge for the Middle District of Georgia Clay D. Land in dismissing “Rhodes v MacDonald” September 16, 2009

Yup. We also have these PX lifers who do it by the book even though they lost their country to a coup in Nov 2008.

LTC Lakin is a hero. These other jerk wads would be doing by the book for King George back in 1776. This “ain’t” Korea where MacArthur disagreed with Truman. The kenyan muslim usurper is not Truman.

'How many pay checks has Lakin declined, since 20 January 2009, on the grounds that BO is a Kenyan? "

Now, now. There's absolutely no reason to interject common sense into this debate. Please, restrain yourself.

“Please demonstrate how Mr. Obama has violated Article II of the Constitution. And don’t come back with something that you read on the internet.

Here’s something that you can do about this. Get your state to enact legislation requiring that candidates for President present evidence that they are eligible for the Office IAW Art II. When Obama fails to produce the evidence, refuse to put him on the ballot. He will sue to be placed on the ballot without producing evidence. Now, you are in business and can go into court and play show and tell. Short of that, you are just whistlin’ Dixie.”


I think you must be dreaming in La-LA Land or living out there where they grow potatoes, if you thing you are going to get them to do anything. I sent numerous e-mail, letters to Charlie Crist and his SoS on this subject. They never bothered to answer, not even with a computer form letter.!!!

My Congressman is Kendrick Meek, a staunch Soetoro fan, you think I would have any luck there???

But you could try this for a change!!!

In that book he wrote that he found his original birth certificate in a box.


So what? If Obama produced that particular document would you accept that it is legitimate?

The original that is on file at the Hawaii Department of Health is the only document that matters.
All any court will need is a notarized and sworn deposition verifying the following statement from the State Department of Health director.

For Immediate Release: October 31, 2008
STATEMENT BY DR. CHIYOME FUKINO
“There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official birth certificate. State law (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes §338-18) prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record.
“Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.
“No state official, including Governor Linda Lingle, has ever instructed that this vital record be handled in a manner different from any other vital record in the possession of the State of Hawai‘i.”

Also the original birth document can be subpoenaed but thus far no one has sought a subpoena for it.

No — it was Judge Robertson, the twitter judge in the Hollister Case who wrote in his opinion:

“The issue of the president’s citizenship was raised, vetted, blogged, texted, twittered, and otherwise massaged by America’s vigilant citizenry during Mr. Obama’s two-year-campaign for the presidency, but this plaintiff wants it resolved by a court”.

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=90955

What was presented to him from the internet influenced his decision by his own words.

Would you?

I guess not. There are many more missing documents besides his birth certificate that matter.

'What was presented to him from the internet influenced his decision by his own words."

No, it didn't. Legal opinions can be dangerous things when read by people who weren't trained to understand them.

Again, different case, same set of circumstances. Just because a judge writes something in his opinion, it doesn't mean (necessarily) it's relevant to his decision on the matters of law before him/her. That case was dismissed by Robertson because plaintiff's failure to meet the requirements set forth in FRCP 12(b)(6), failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted...

Whatever musings the judge offers up in addition to the legal reason he granted defendant's MTD, are just editorial comments.

Incidentally, in a per curium opinion by the DC Circuit, that dismissal was affirmed.

So when it's actually numbered "Clause 5" (like the house.gov version), what they really mean is that it's Clause 4. And, when the clauses are not numbered (like the senate.gov version), but if you count them you'll see clause 5 is in fact the NBC clause...what that really means is that it's clause 4.

And....since WKA was found to be a "citizen", what that really means is that since it involves Barry O it was really supposed to mean WKA was a NBC and therefore Barry is one too.

Yup. You betcha toc!

To support and defend the constitution of the United States. Thus we swear allegiance to the Constitution, the founding document of the US government and the federated states. We do NOT swear allegiance to an individual or to a specific office/office holder.
