“Are you so stupid that you don’t realize your beef on this issue is with Congress? If you can read, try reading about the DADT vote. Do you realize who is taking the vote? Do you realize who will make it a matter of law? It’s not the JAGs, idiot. Constitutionally, they have no say in the matter.”

My beef is with CONGRESS or ANYONE that helps carry out the homosexualization of the military; even indirectly. Lind is the souless type that will help persecute moral people in the name of the constitution and doing her duty....just as the SS did. This isn’t a far reach in logic.

You need to get your head on straight, stop insulting me, and see reality not “lawyer think.” You are part of the problem that enables the immoral and illegal to proceed under the guise of law. Destroying LTC Lakin has done NOTHING to enforce military discipline, it has only made holding a commission meaningless and further degraded the concept of the POTUS being CINC since he/she is somehow magically removed from the process? I wonder what LTC West (congressman elect) thinks about all this?

Attacking me for a legitimate analogy just shows you lack wisdom.

I think even Mr. Robinson made clear the other day that following orders is the foundation of military discipline. The statutory authority by which orders must be obeyed is well-established and derives directly from the Constitution. It's not new, and Judge Lind articulated it correctly. It's willful ignorance to deny the clear letter of the law obvious to anyone versed in it.

What you propose is that individual military officers get to personally vet a duly elected President certified by Congress to see if he, and ultimately any other officers in the military, deserve their loyalty and obedience. That's radically anti-Constitutional. If you think that's how our system of government is established, that the military officer's oath can override the roles and responsibilities defined in the Constitution and statutes enacted thereof, then you have a poor understanding of the Constitution, the intent of the Founding Fathers and the military.

And, again, if you think anything going on with Lakin is equivalent to the SS and Nazi death camps, you are a hysterical fool at best. I'd try and explain to you why morally based legal systems have laws in the first place, with all their inevitable imperfections, but I'd clearly be wasting my time.
