THE FOLLOWING IS FROM A BLOG ON PATRIOT ACTION NETWORK.
Lt. Col Lakin writes:
'The conservative may ask the following
questions: if words and other meanings can be
manipulated or ignored to advance the statist's political and policy
preferences, what then binds allegiances to the statists' words? Why should
today's law bind future generations if yesterday's law does not bind this
generation? Why should judicial precedent bind the nation if the Constitution
itself does not? Why should any judicial determination based on judges notion of
what is 'right' or 'just' bind the individual of the individual believes the
notion is wrong and unjust? Does not lawlessness beget lawlessness?' Plain,
great quotes."He also listed as suggested reading materials the U.S. Constitution, the Federalist Papers, the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights.
His military court request for clemency in his case remains pending, as do
any appeals that would be pursued. He's not ordinarily able to speak to the
media. That prohibition will remain in question for some time even after his
expected release, supporters explain, depending on the status of his clemency
request and any appeals.
Retired Cmdr. Charles Kerchner, who took his own challenge to Obama's tenure in the Oval
Office all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, has said Lakin's conviction
and jailing signaled the end of the "rule of law" in the United States.
Lakin was prevented by the military judge from seeking evidence that could
support him, was told he could not talk about his dilemma, could not bring in
the witnesses he wanted and could not introduce evidence that he wanted.
The military panel then convicted him.
Kerchner's legal case, handled by attorney Mario Apuzzo, alleged that Congress failed its constitutional duty to examine the legitimacy of a successful candidate during the Electoral College vetting process on Capitol Hill. The Supreme Court ultimately decided not to hear arguments, leaving standing a lower court's dismissal.
According to a report in the Greeley Gazette, whose reporter Jack Minor has been following the
case because the city is Lakin's home, confirmed Maj. Matthew Kemkes, Lakin's military attorney, is working on submitting a clemency request to superior officers.
Lakin earned the support of several prominent, high-ranking, retired officers during his battle, including Maj. Gen. Paul
Vallely and Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney.
Kerchner had noted Lakin, before publicly challenging Obama's eligibility to
serve as president under the Constitution's "natural born citizen" requirement –
an issue that remains undocumented – had gone through every available channel
seeking resolution.
"Terry had been questioning Obama's eligibility for over two years, and not
only did he go to his elected representatives; he used a formal path available
to soldiers, filling out a form or writing a
letter, to request a congressional inquiry," Kerchner told The Post &
Email at the time.
"If a soldier is having some issue with the military chain of command or for
any reason feels that he has been unjustly treated, there is the Article 138
where you can directly ask your senior chain of command about it. He also filed
another form or letter to request a congressional inquiry; he requested more
than once that an investigation be done about Obama's eligibility because as an
officer, he had sworn an oath to the U.S. Constitution. He had great doubts that
Obama was eligible, and he wanted them to investigate, and they didn't even
answer him," Kerchner explained.
"The Congress did nothing. Terry, as a soldier, had a further right to one,
and he didn't even get an answer. For example, if you allege that your
commanding officer is mistreating you, Congress investigates those allegations.
Terry asked for a congressional inquiry because no one in his chain of command
was answering his questions, and they didn't answer him. He felt he was being
unjustly treated and ignored by his chain of command in their not addressing or
answering his questions about the eligibility of Obama to be the
commander-in-chief and president," he said in the lengthy interview with
Rondeau.
" The Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, states, "No
Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the
time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of
President."
Some of the challenges question whether he was actually born in Hawaii, as he
insists. If he was born out of the country, Obama's American mother, the suits
contend, was too young at the time of his birth to confer American citizenship
to her son under the law at the time.
Other challenges have focused on Obama's citizenship through his father, a
Kenyan subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom at the time of his
birth, thus making him a dual citizen. The cases contend the framers of the
Constitution excluded dual citizens from qualifying as natural born.
Several of the cases have involved emergency appeals to the U.S. Supreme
Court in which justices have declined even to hear arguments. Among the other
cases turned down without a hearing at the high court have been petitions by
John Hemenway, Philip Berg, Cort Wrotnowski, Leo Donofrio and Orly Taitz.
Obama wrote in his own book that he was born a dual citizen of the U.S. and
Great Britain due to the fact his father was a subject of the British crown when
Obama was born.
No hospital has admitted Obama was born in Hawaii, and while state officials
say they have confirmed his birth documentation, they refuse to reveal what it
states. Because of the state's loose laws that required only a declaration by
family members and proof of residency, Obama's family could have registered the
birth as Hawaiian even if he was born somewhere else.
SO HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT HIS BEING JAILED? ABOUT HIS BEING RELEASED? DO YOU WONDER WHY HE'S BEING RELEASED AT THIS TIME? DOES IT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH TRUMP'S QUESTIONING THE ELIGIBILITY? IF BY SOME IMPOSSIBLE HAPPENING, OBAMA IS FOUND TO BE INELIGIBLE, WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN TO HIM AND OTHERS WHO AIDED AND ABETTED HIM IN THE COVERUP?
Polls show that 58% of the American people believe that Obama is hiding something and should disclose his documentation. This is up from just a year ago.
Lt. Col Lakin is one example of how this present administration is taking away the rights of EVERY American citizen. Do you feel his rights were ignored?
How do you feel about this case now that Donald Trump has taken it up? Do you think Lt. Col. Lakin should have been jailed without being able to present defense or call witnesses? Even if you believe Obama to be a natural born citizen, was this case handled according to rule of law as you understand it?
