Eligibility Update: SCOTUS a No on Clinton, Lakin 32 Waiver, Taitz No on SoS, Alien in the White House

By Phil

HuffPo is reporting (via NativeBornCitizen) that the Supreme Court has dismissed a case brought about by JudicialWatch challenging Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s eligibility for her cabinet position:

(ORDER LIST: 560 U.S.)
MONDAY, JUNE 7, 2010

APPEAL ? SUMMARY DISPOSITION
09-797 RODEARMEL, DAVID C. V. CLINTON, SEC. OF STATE, ET AL.
The District Court dismissed for lack of standing, 666 F. Supp. 2d 123, 127?131, and n. 10 (DC 2009), so it did not enter ?any interlocutory or final judgment, decree, or order upon the validity of the appointment and continuance in office of the Secretary of State under article I, section 6, clause 2, of the Constitution.? Joint Resolution on Compensation and Other Emoluments Attached to the Office of Secretary of State, §1(b)(3)(A), Pub. L. 110-455, 122 Stat. 5036, note following 5 U. S. C. §5312. The appeal is therefore dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

From HuffPo:

Judicial Watch filed the suit on behalf of State Department employee David Rodearmel. It says Rodearmel would violate the oath he took as a foreign service officer in 1991 to ?support and defend? and ?bear true faith and allegiance? to the Constitution by working for Clinton. ?

The suit is based on a largely overlooked section of the Constitution on compensation for public officials, the emoluments clause. The clause says no member of Congress can be appointed to a government post if that job?s pay was increased during the lawmaker?s current term.

Lieutenant Colonel Terry Lakin’s Article 32 “preliminary hearing,” originally scheduled for this Friday (per his PR), has been waived. According to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center (courtesy TPMMuckeracker via Court-Martial-UCMJ.com):

LTC Lakin waived his Article 32 hearing on 4 June 2010.  Once the Article 32 was waived, the charges were forwarded by Walter Reed commanding general with a recommendation as to disposition to MG Horst, the Military District of Washington Commander, on 8 June 2010. It is now up to MG Horst, to determine if the case will go to court-martial and the level of court-martial. MG Horst could also decide that some other disposition is more appropriate than court-martial.  MG Horst is the General Court-Martial Convening Authority for Soldiers assigned to Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

Here is LTC Lakin’s latest presser:

PRESS RELEASE

DECORATED ARMY DOCTOR LTC TERRY LAKIN WAIVES PRELIMINARY HEARING AND ANNOUNCES NEW YOUTUBE VIDEO

____________________________

CASE TO NOW PROCEED DIRECTLY TO GENERAL COURT MARTIAL

_____________________________________

HEARING WILL NOT PROCEED ON JUNE 11, 2010

Washington, D.C., June 9, 2010.  Saying that the Army has made it ?impossible for me to present a defense?
at the Article 32 ?preliminary hearing? previously scheduled for June 11, 2010,  Lt. Colonel Terrence Lakin has officially waived ?cancelled?that proceeding.  Therefore, the case will move inexorably on to a General Court Martial.  The punishment for the charges filed against LTC Lakin carry a maximum term of four years in the penitentiary.  Lakin expects the trial to be held in the early fall, but this has yet to be determined.  The next step will be the formal referral of the charges by Lakin?s Commanding General, Major General Carla Hawley-Bowland, followed by his arraignment before a Military Judge, both of which are expected before the end of June.

Lakin, through his legal defense team, requested the testimony of Dr. Chiyome Fukino of the Hawaii Dept. of Health, and all of that agency?s records that exist concerning the president?s birth.  Lakin had also requested the testimony of the custodians of records of, and the records relating to Obama?s admission and financial aid that exist, of the Punahou School, Occidental College,Columbia University and Harvard Law School.  All these requests were also summarily denied, leaving Lakin without any ability to mount a defense at the hearing.  However, in that this hearing was preliminary in nature in the first place, Lakin will renew his requests to the Military Judge at the appropriate time.

Lakin also released a new 5-minute video on Youtube explaining why he believes there are reasonable arguments that President Obama is Constitutionally ineligible to serve as Commander-in-Chief. The video can be viewed athttp://www.safeguardourconstitution.com/video2.html.

The video is being released under the auspices of the American Patriot Foundation, a non-profit group incorporated in 2003 to foster appreciation and respect for the U.S. Constitution, in the one month since establishing a fund to provide a legal defense to LTC Lakin, has received generous donations from more than 1,200 separate individuals. Further details are available on the Foundation?s website, www.safeguardourconstitution.com.

As a part of last night’s primary results (which I’ll be highlighting in the next posting), Dr. Orly Taitz failed to receive the GOP nomination for California’s Secretary of State position:

Damon Dunn 1,075,337 74.3%

Orly Taitz 372,490 25.7%

As Prof. Jacobson points out, we appear to have an alien in the White House (and we’re not just talking from outer space or even birth certificates):

Dorothy Rabinowitz, writing in The Wall Street Journal, says what has been on so many of our minds, The Alien in the White House:

For it was clear from the first that this president?single-minded, ever-visible, confident in his program for a reformed America saved from darkness by his arrival?was wanting in certain qualities citizens have until now taken for granted in their presidents. Namely, a tone and presence that said: This is the Americans’ leader, a man of them, for them, the nation’s voice and champion….

Those qualities to be expected in a president were never about rhetoric; Mr. Obama had proved himself a dab hand at that on the campaign trail. They were a matter of identification with the nation and to all that binds its people together in pride and allegiance. These are feelings held deep in American hearts, unvoiced mostly, but unmistakably there and not only on the Fourth of July.

A great part of America now understands that this president’s sense of identification lies elsewhere, and is in profound ways unlike theirs….

Rabinowitz points out that it is not just Obama; his administration has become a repository of people with ideological axes to grind, from Eric Holder to Janet Napolitano to Michael Posner on down:

The beliefs and attitudes that this president has internalized are to be found everywhere?in the salons of the left the world over?and, above all, in the academic establishment, stuffed with tenured radicals and their political progeny. The places where it is held as revealed truth that the United States is now, and has been throughout its history, the chief engine of injustice and oppression in the world.

They are attitudes to be found everywhere, but never before in a president of the United States….

The Professor ends his posting accordingly:

Unfortunately, there are no do-overs. So we just have to win in November and two Novembers after that.
