[Cicero]

Maybe I’m missing something, but this seems like a pretty stiff sentence considering that he pled guilty and his lawyer presumably made a plea deal before doing so.

He can live with 6 months detention. But the loss of all retirement benefits after 18 years of service is the real killer.

Why did he plead guilty, then?

Because if he wasn't damaged in any way he would have to grounds to appeal....It's Kabuki theater. Each is playing their role to get to the final outcome. Anything decided against BO eligibility would be appealed and take a great deal of time thus throwing the country in complete chaos for a long period of time.

Only the SCOTUS truly has the power to convict, and the congress to remove. Expect it to be done in a few hours not months to "save us from a civil war". Think about it. Timing is everything.

Lakin NOW has standing....others were questionable. The case has a realistic premise (Orders of CiC by a fraud).....others were questionable. Any discovery would not settle the case because BO would have the right to appeal any judgment, therefore, all lower courts have taken ridiculous actions to avoid or as Justice Thomas said evade the proof...pushing it up the ladder to the SCOTUS

Expect any case that the SCOTUS has 'tabled' be returned when this one is before them. BUt not before Boehner is sworn into office as Speaker unless you want Nancy as President.

God bless Lakin.
