LTC Lakin update on WorldNetDaily
WorldNetDaily has commented on the recent memorandum issued by the Article 32, UCMJ, IO in LTC Lakin’s case. But Lakin said the result "makes it impossible for me to have a fair hearing." "I cannot even raise the issue of the president’s eligibility, on the grounds that my position has ‘no basis in law,’" he […]
LTC Lakin update
Thanks to safeguardourconstitution.com we have the Article 32, UCMJ, IO’s written ruling on several matters in LTC Lakin’s case. Note, “the Army” did not refuse the defense requests. The IO did, acting in his role assigned under Article 32, UCMJ, and R.C.M. 405. This is what I would have expected MAJ Kemkes, the military defense […]
Another LTC Lakin commentator
Andy Martin, Executive Director, Contrarian Commentary, posits that President Obama is not legally president, therefore LTC Lakin has a legitimate challenge to his orders. Mr. Martin first tells us that: I am completely independent and impartial in so far as the Lakin matter is concerned. So far as I am aware I have not had […]
LTC Lakin’s contumacy
safeguardourconstitution reports that: “Obama Administration unleashes Army lawyers instead of releasing birth certificate.” This is shameful hyperbole and utterly incorrect. LTC Lakin is alleged to have committed offenses in violation of the UCMJ. The conduct alleged cuts to the very heart of military requirements of obedience to orders, fidelity to the oath of office, and […]
LTC Lakin update
Safeguardourconstitution reports that the Article 32, UCMJ, hearing is scheduled for 11 June 2010. The report links to a letter to MAJ Kemkes (a great TDS lawyer from Fort Myer) granting a delay of the hearing from 6 May to 11 June. LTC Driscoll, a lawyer, is the IO. The use of non-lawyers as IO […]
A LTC Lakin piece
Blogger Rainier4311 has a piece on LTC Lakin which is critical of Anderson Cooper’s interview. Regardless of the merits of the interview, the piece contains some interesting and uninformed comments on the military legal system. This Article 138 discovery process must be done. LTC Lakin now has the right to discovery based on the Articles […]
LTC Lakin
Obama Conspiracy Theories blog has this comment on the CNN LTC Lakin interview: Paul Jensen, tried to imply things that were false by clever irrelevancies and innuendo, but he told one outright whopper: In the state of Hawaii there’s a statute that allows anyone born outside the state of Hawaii, including in a foreign country, […]
LTC Lakin update
LTC Lakin has made his CNN appearance. Courtesy of Dwight “ML” Sullivan and CAAFLog, here is a link. Like DMLS I found the comment about protecting the client somewhat odd in light of counsel’s apparent involvement in producing the video which has in effect become LTC Lakin’s public confession of an “intent” to refuse orders. […]
LTC Lakin update
World News Daily reports that LTC Lakin is scheduled to make another (potentially another) potential public confession: A U.S. Army officer challenging President Obama to document his eligibility to occupy to Oval Office will be telling his story to Anderson Cooper on his 360 program on CNN. The interview is scheduled to be broadcast from […]
