“Yeah. I am just grasping at straws.”
YES, you are. Why?
+++++++++++++++++++
Because I held hope that this case would bring the issue to the forefront of the MSM in such a way as to force Obama to reveal his documentation. Obviously that will not happen with this case.
+++++++++++++++++
It makes me sick to my stomach knowing that LTC Lakin is going to be punished for doing the right thing.
“...doing the right thing?
Lakin just pled guilty to committing a crime. What “right thing” are you talking about?
+++++++++++++++++++++
He refused to deploy because he believes that Obama is not constitutionally eligible to issue the orders which eventually made their way down the chain of command to Lakin. From this perspective, Lakin was acting honorably in the act of disobeying orders he did not believe were legal. This is one of the duties of an Officer.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I was hoping that there would be some positive resolution out of his case.
We all were. It is shame that Lakin gave up.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I agree, but I don’t know anywhere near enough about the Military Code of Justice to have anything remotely to be considered as informed. I was obviously pinning some hopes on a lost cause. I too am sorry he gave up.

Danae,
Lakin may have had honorable motives when he refused to deploy alledgedly because he did not believe that BO’s orders were lawful, but after his guilty plea, his original motive is questionable.
You are now making an assumption.
I can’t and wont take that as anything remotely factual until it comes out that way in the court.
Jim Robinson is correct, as much as I hate to agree with it. He based his choice on reasonable doubt created by an as yet un-proven theory, which on its face can be called a conspiracy theory.
Personally I am certain that this conspiracy theory is correct, Obama is NOT a Natural Born citizen. But until some resolution comes out of SCOTUS regarding the legal meaning of Natural Born Citizen, Lakin had no legal basis upon which to make his choice. Not within the UCMJ which he must abide by. In hindsight, the UCMJ might not have the ability to decide this issue. It cannot rule based upon SCOTUS findings which have not yet been made, and it is looking like this case is un-appeal-able to SCOTUS as a mechanism by which to create such a ruleing.
But again, I do not know enough about the UCMJ or constitutional law at this level to even hazard a guess as to what I do not know. I just do not know what I do not know.
sigh.

Here is an excellent article regarding the legitimacy of BO’s presidency:
