Lakin’s lumps

LTC Terry Lakin and his civilian counsel Paul Jensen took their lumps at the pre-trial hearing today on charges that Lakin refused to deploy with his unit to Afghanistan because he could not be sure his orders were legal because President Obama had not proved to his satisfaction that he was eligible to be President and Commander in Chief. The military judge stated as a matter of law, that Lakin would not be allowed to offer issues of Obama’s eligibility in his defense because Lakin is obliged to follow orders anyway. The judge reminded Lakin that the authority for the military chain of command derives from the power of Congress under the Constitution. This means no school records, no birth certificate and no depositions from Hawaii Department of Health officials.

Any competent military attorney could have told LTC Lakin that this was going to happen. One continues to ask, pondering the blank and impassive Lakin, WHY?

Dwight Sullivan wrote at the CAAFlog blog:

I hear very good things about LTC Lakin’s detailed [military] defense counsel, MAJ Kemkes.  While obviously I have no way of knowing for sure, we can very safely assume that he advised LTC Lakin that there is no way his request for discovery would be successful and that he should explore available avenues to protect himself from the consequences of his deliberate decision to disobey orders on a basis that the law will not recognize as a defense.

Military attorney Phil Cave attended the proceeding and wrote a detailed report at the Military Law and Justice blog. Phil described attorney Jensen as “beaten down” following the Judge’s ruling about which Phil said:

The military judge’s findings and rulings seemed also to put a stake through the heart of LtGen McInerney’s affidavit and its relevance to the trial (by inference this would include MG Vallely and MG Curry).

Fox News consultant weighs in on Lakian trial

Lieutenant General Thomas G. McInerney (USAF Retired), military affairs analyst for Fox News Network, has filed an affidavit with the US Army in support of LTC Terry Lakin’s “civil disobedience” (my phrase) challenge  to Barack Obama’s disregard of birther demands to prove that he is really president. McInerney urges the Convening Authority to allow Lakin discovery into records related to Obama’s eligibility both to prove Lakin’s guilt or innocence, but also to reassure all others in the military about the legality of their orders.

McInerney says that what Lakin did, refusing to deploy with his unit, is exactly what ever officer is trained to do if he has the slightest doubt about the President’s paperwork (my words). McInerney is the highest-ranking officer to have questioned the eligibility of President Obama, describing questions about Obama’s eligibility as “legitimate”.

If you would like to hear it in McInerney’s words, keep reading below and and here for commentary from the Military Law and Justice blog. (more…)

Berg reschedules rally for October

Philip Berg

Crusading anti-Obama attorney, Philip J. Berg has set the new date for his massive rally to promote his opposition to everything Obama, including the president’s ineligibility and what the right wing call “Obamacare.” (They will have to eat that word if Obamacare ever becomes as popular as Medicare is today.)

In a letter emailed to supporters just minutes ago, Berg announced that The Obama Birth Certificate / Eligibility / ObamaCare Rally will be held in Washington on Saturday, October 23, 2010 – U.S. Capitol – West Front, unless it gets postponed again.

You can meet Phil Berg in person tomorrow. He will be handing out leaflets at the Glenn Beck rally in DC. The full press release is on Berg’s ObamaCrimes web site.

Post & Email suffers from too much success

Some web hosting plans limit the bandwidth (the total amount of information allowed to be transferred during a period of time) and when that’s exceeded, they either cut you off, or they charge you extra.

The Post & Email appears to have hit the bandwidth wall on a cheap plan.

Taitz pays up

Despite what you may have heard, erstwhile attorney Orly Taitz, her appeals exhausted, has paid the $20,000 in sanctions imposed by federal judge Clay D. Land in Georgia, for her misconduct in the Rhodes v. MacDonald case.

Taitz still hopes to get her money back, having asked the District Court to reconsider (again) in a filing last Wednesday (Aug 26, 2010). I must say that she does a much better job redacting her bank account number than she does Barack Obama’s Social Security number.

On the back of the check she wrote:

paid under protest as illegal extortion to cover obama’s fraud

Fake grand jury writes real FBI

The “American Grand Jury” a set of volunteers with a political agenda, have written a letter to the FBI, expressing alarm about an ineligible president, and “demanding justice.” What is remarkable about the letter (which has been passed around in emails) is that it contains the names of 3,058 signers.

I don’t feel comfortable publishing names, but the rest of the letter follows: (more…)
