If Watada & Huet-Vaughn were shown one simple piece of paper that proved the constitutionality of their orders, they would not have relented. But Lakin would have. Where is YOUR sense of proportion? This is a constitutionalist website and you continue to troll for a non-constitutionalist cause.

How do you know? But regardless, wasn't it the responsibility of them to refuse to obey orders they thought were illegal? And would you agree that they were honorable officers in the same vein as Lakin for doing so? And wasn't it the responsibility of the President to present to them evidence that the war was legal and their orders lawful, as Lakin is demanding?

I'm merely pointing out that Lakin is doing absolutely nothing to solve the Constitutional question of Obama's eligibility. He has thrown away his career and most likely will wind up in Leavenworth for misusing his office and trampling Army law. If Lakin is truly convinced that Obama is ineligible and if he honestly feels that he cannot serve under him then the honorable course would have been to resign and carry on his cause outside of the Army. Not to refuse to obey lawful orders.
