Denise Lind knows that the Constitution allows Obama to “act as President”?
Seems to me that others have said that the military couldn’t decide this issue, that the military isn’t supposed to interpret the Constitution. How, then, could Denise Lind know how the Constitution applies to the situation with Barack Obama and Joe Biden? There are still pending cases for the federal judiciary to deal with this, so how can a military court decide such a thing?
This totally violates what everybody has been saying about the military not being able to interpret the Constitution. Are you saying the military court-martial system is able to interpret the Constitution?
And also, Lind’s decision was that the POTUS is irrelevant to the lawfulness of Lakin’s orders. If that precedent holds, then brigade commanders can deploy combat troops to foreign countries independently of the POTUS. All because this one judge says so. Do you agree with her, that brigade commanders can deploy combat troops to foreign countries regardless of what authorization a Constitutionally-valid POTUS does or doesn’t give?
To come up with that decision, Lind had to totally ignore the last 3 of the 4 elements of “lawfulness” for Article 90 - particularly ii. Do you agree with her that those elements don’t apply?
