You just can’t question anything about this President’s past without ramifications.

Look at every political race he's ever entered and see what happened to his opponents. Joe the Plumber dared to question him and we all know what happened to him. Then there's the Trinity Church gay murders. And we just thought the death panels were only for his healthcare program. Heil Soetoro!

“When will our Congress and Justices grow some and try him for treason?”

When “We the people” get numerous enough and LOUD enough to force them into doing something.

The usurper could have ended all of these court cases two years ago with a $10 bill.


...”In fact, there is more than a certified, long-form birth certificate — a lot more — about Barack “Barry Soetoro” Hussein Obama that no one outside the hermetic world of sworn-to-silence hospital personnel, state vital records workers, and college bursar-level functionaries has ever seen. A partial list would include, in addition, Neolani kindergarten records, the Obama-Dunham marriage license, the Obama-Dunham divorce records, the Soetoro-Dunham marriage license, Soetoro adoption records, the Punahou School application and records, Noelami Elementary School records, the Soetoro-Dunham divorce records, consistent selective service registration info, SAT scores, LSAT scores, Occidental College records, financial aid records, passports, Columbia University records, putative Columbia thesis on “Soviet Nuclear Disarmament,” Harvard University records, Harvard Law Review records, any writings as president of the Harvard Law Review beyond one tough anti-fetus fragment, Illinois bar records, certificates of baptism or adoption, medical records, Illinois State Senate records from 1997-2004, Illinois State Senate schedule, law practice client list while at Davis, Miner, Barnhill and Gallard, University of Chicago scholarly articles, and more. Oh, but we do have a document from the Fransiskus Assisi School in Jakarta, a Catholic institution, which shows him enrolled as Barry Soetoro — as a Muslim and an Indonesian.”

After the Convening Authority review the findings...

The first level of appellate review, the US Army Court of Criminal Appeals, is an automatic appeal, unless waived by the accused.

Insubordination.

He refused a direct order, that comes under the direct authority of the Commander In Chief of the military. As to the authority and legitmacy of our current President - this was an attempt to force that hand.

However, Pres. Obama is not on trial (yet). Pres. Obama has not broken the law (or been charged with it), yet.

This man actively and with conviction disobeyed a direct command, and a lawful order from a superior officer. This is not without consequence.

So this opens up an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, the highest military court, which is composed of five civilians.

I am not a military lawyer, but my understanding is that the appeal is to the Army Court of Criminal Appeals, a military court. If that court affirms the conviction, he can ask the CAAF to review the conviction, but that court has discretion to take the case or not.

Further proof he has no respect for our military or their families. Surely, the bigwigs of the various brances can see this.

re: Don’t be too confident of that.

Sad to say but I fear you’re quite correct. I have never seen such a total lack of testicular fortitude as what we’ve seen from those in office who are charged with oversight of what goes on in this country.

I have been convinced for several years now that the only way out will the total collapse of our way of life. And the truly sad part of it is that it didn’t have to come to that. Our Founding Fathers gave us more than enough ways to prevent the madness we are seeing in Washington these days. What they couldn’t give us were the elected officials with an ability to deny themselves the spoils of a public life and work for the good of the country.

His appeal will likely be based on his denial of the right to take any discovery or admit any evidence at trial to establish that his disobediance of orders was justified, i.e. that Obama is not a natural born citizen.

He pleaded guilty to the disobeying orders charges. In doing so, he said, under oath, that his orders were legal and he knew they were legal when he disobeyed them. The only charge on which he went to trial was the missing movement charge, and the only defense he put up to that charge was the claim that he hadn't been ordered to be on a specific flight.

At the very least it shows what utter contempt Obama has for the military.

No, but he had to show it to enter the military, which is ironic because the Pretender-in-Chief didn’t.

Do they? And...If the "big wigs" do, are they willing to put lives, fortunes, and sacred honor on the line to do so?

Surely... I can not be alone. I pray daily, with all my heart, that God will raise up a few brave men and women who defend the Constitution.

This is sad. One more courageous act he performed for our country and gets slaughtered for it.
