The birther movement is in tatters, reduced to following the pitiful fate of three of the bravest military officers what ever lived.
Lt. Col. Terry Lakin, U.S. Army
Most birthers, for some odd reason, haven't yet realized that Lakin has
STOPPED BIRFING. They won't be happy, when they find out. He hired a respected civilian lawyer, Neal Puckett. On Oct. 19 in WingNutDaily, no less, Puckett confirmed that the judge's order denying Lakin access to President Obama's birth certificate was "
the proper legal ruling".
.
"She was right on the facts and right on the law," he said ... "All those issues concerning the president's eligibility to hold office are completely irrelevant as to whether Lt. Col. Lakin was issued lawful orders and whether he obeyed them," he said.
.
Does that sound to you like his defense is still "an illegal Usurperin' Mofo can't send me to Afghanistan"? But just yesterday on ResistNet, one of the hatriots wrote, "
Terry is hanging on with the tenacity of a bull dog." They're going to be SO SURPRISED when he pleads guilty and takes a plea bargain offer.
Lt. Cmdr. Walter F. Fitzpatrick, U.S.N., retired
Walt is in jail in Monroe County, Tennessee, waiting for his upcoming trial on Dec. 1, on the charges relating to his attempt to make a "citizens arrest" of the grand jury foreman. His trial may be postponed because of the new charges of resisting arrest and assault on a police officer, that resulted from the scuffle when they took him into custody. The Post & Email has pretty much dedicated it's entire operation to him. Walt himself keeps saying there needs to be "federal intervention," meaning the Obama administration that he tried to overthrow. His friends are trying to organize a large enough group to break him out of jail. Sadly, they can't even make a date for this public, because we'll have the town swarming with cops if they do. And Walt is refusing to allow a local lawyer to represent him, but the judges are refusing to let him bring in some idiot birther lawyer from out of state. So he may go to trial without one.
Bottom line: Walt will be convicted and sentenced to prison, and the hatriots will weep and wail.
Cdr. Charles Kerchner, U.S.N., retired
Kerchner's case,
Kerchner v. Obama, is coming up for conference in the Supreme Court a week from tomorrow, Nov. 23. His lawyer, Mario Apuzzo, made all the same arguments before the Supremes that he made before the Third Circuit Court of Appeal, which damn near sanctioned Apuzzo for filing a "frivolous appeal". The only issue before the court is, does Kerchner have 'standing' to sue the president over eligibility or lack thereof. This is settled law, and the court won't touch it. Apuzzo's main argument is that the case is so gosh darn important that they should ignore the doctrine of standing. That has a 0.00% chance of prevailing.
Orly still has two cases (she thinks 3). One is the appeal of the $20,000 sanctions she got for her antics in
Rhodes v. MacDonald, pending in the Supreme Court. The court won't hear that one either. They actually have some important cases to work on.
Second is her appeal of Judge Carter's decision in
Barnett v. Obama. That's pending in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The only issue there, too, is standing. But Orly seems to think the issue is whether Judge Carter is a dirty dog low-down snake who done her wrong. The court will affirm Carter's dismissal in the next couple months.
She also thinks she has a "Rule 60b" motion pending in the federal district court in Washington, D.C., but the clerks there insist, "That case is closed."
And that's it, until President Obama announces his campaign for re-election ...
