Do you believe that officers who have sworn on their sacred honor to protect and defend the US Constitution from ALL enemies foreign and domestic - and lay their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor on the line EVERY STINKIN’ DAY OF THE YEAR have enough vested interest to get the legal answers necessary for them to carry out their oaths?
If the courts we have now existed at the country’s founding, nobody who signed the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution would have enough “vested interest” to even constitute a case if they questioned the Constitutionality of a foreign enemy combatant in the White House. King George III could have been installed as President and not one of those oath-takers’ lives, fortunes, or sacred honor would be worth enough to these stinkin’ judicial cowards to even make a case.
Is that cool with you? Is that really what you think those Founding Fathers meant when they said that the right of the people to petition the government for a redress of grievances shall not be abridged?
What more can a man lay on the line than his life, fortune, and sacred honor? If that isn’t enough then NOTHING will EVER be enough. What did John McCain stand to lose from a usurper winning the Presidency, that Lakin DIDN’T stand to lose? McCain wouldn’t lose his honor. Wouldn’t lose his fortune. Wouldn’t lose his life. He’d lose the chance to be king for 4 years. Do the courts really believe that 4 years of White House cuisine is worth more than a man’s life, fortune, and sacred honor?
Geez, this country is hopeless. We’ve sold our birthright for a bowl of soup. I hope the Lord spits us out as a nation; we deserve NONE of the blessings He’s given us over the years. I am disgusted and appalled that this is what has come of this nation.
“King George III could have been installed as President and not one of those oath-takers’ lives, fortunes, or sacred honor would be worth enough to these stinkin’ judicial cowards to even make a case.”

And the answer to that one is known to all of us. The Founding Fathers decided that it was the Congress, not the judiciary, who would have the power to act in a case like that. They can call for eligibility hearings at the drop of a hat if they believe there is cause to do so.
They have failed to act. They have made it clear — each and every single one of them — that they had no objection to the vote of the Electoral College. I know you don’t like it, but the fact remains that the only remedies available are the ones prescribed under the Constitution. Your manic diatribes notwithstanding, no one — at least, I hope no one — will attempt to address this issue using unconstitutional means.
And demanding that the military oust the President is about as unconstitutional as you can get.
You bring up a lot of stuff. And that's part of your problem with this case: courts don't deal with lots of stuff, they deal with the specific charge and statute at hand. They're just not going to get into what the Founders meant.
But you didn't answer my question. How does the military function if every individual member has the right to refuse orders until they "get the legal answers necessary for them to carry out their oaths"?
