Dead Constitution See other Dead Constitution Articles Title: Lakin's attorney: Conviction 'certain' BORN IN THE USA? Posted: December 02, 2010 By Brian Fitzpatrick WASHINGTON Lieutenant Colonel Terrence Lakin, a distinguished Army flight surgeon, is "certain" to be convicted of disobeying orders, according to his lawyer, Neil Puckett. LTC Lakin will go on trial December 14 for refusing to deploy with his unit to Afghanistan. The senior officer questioned the legal validity of his orders because they originate ultimately with President Barack Obama, whose eligibility to serve as commander in chief under article II of the U.S. Constitution remains unproven. "Based on the evidence available, his conviction is certain," Puckett told WND. "He has no affirmative defense for the offenses he committed." There is not much left to do" in defense of his client, Puckett said. Lakin's previous defense counsel, Paul Jensen, already "sought discovery of documents, and to introduce evidence and expert witnesses, but the judge shut down all those efforts." During a September hearing, Colonel Denise Lind, the judge in the case, censored the last remaining arguments Lakin planned to make in his defense: motive and duty. Lakin had intended to explain his motive for disobeying the order and contend that it was his duty as a good soldier to disobey orders that he believed to be illegal. See the movie Obama does not want you to see: Own the DVD that probes this unprecedented presidential-eligibility mystery! Lind also rejected defense requests to call as witnesses Ambassador Alan Keyes and retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney. Keyes was to explain the constitutional issues involved in the case, and McInerney was to talk about the training soldiers receive regarding when they should question and even disobey orders. Stripped by the court of all possible defenses that might have justified his actions, Lakin has no chance of prevailing at trial. (Story continues below) Poster Comment: Man, here is guts. Here is a man whose shoestrings the Pretender is not worthy to tie. If your cynicism tells you that our "profiles in courage" days are over, you are plumb mistaken. I can add little more to this presentation than to say all of us here need to read this WND article.

The true Patriot here is the Colonel. Let there be no doubt about it. As well ruling all valid defense evidence out exposes the trial as what it is - A SHOW TRIAL with a pre-ordained outcome just as was the investigation of the U.S.S. Liberty Incident. "One of the least understood strategies of the world revolution now moving rapidly toward its goal is the use of mind control as a major means of obtaining the consent of the people who will be subjects of the New World Order." K.M. Heaton, The National Educator
