Officer's brother: 'Obama could have made this all go away'

WND reported a new trial date has been announced by the military for Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin, the career Army doctor who decided to refuse an assignment to Afghanistan because of his concern that the orders he was issued in a chain of command headed by Barack Obama were not legal.

According to attorney Neal Puckett, who has represented Lakin since a military judge ordered Lakin could not have access to any information about President Obama's eligibility, the trial is scheduled to begin Dec. 14 and run for three days....

Lakin's strategy in earlier court appearances was to seek verification of the legality of his orders under Obama. But the military's judge has ruled he cannot access Obama's records nor can he question those who have custody of Obama's records. She even ruled he could not explain that he believes the orders are illegal.

It is possible that Lakin's case ultimately will end up before the Supreme Court, which may have difficulty ruling that he has no "standing" in the dispute. Virtually every other judge to date has concluded plaintiffs challenging Obama's eligibility lacked standing. But Lakin's case might be different because of the threat of jail time.

The American Patriot Foundation, which has been running the Safeguard our Constitution website and working in support of Lakin, has confirmed the public can use the channel to support Lakin.

There have been dozens of lawsuits and challenges over the fact that Obama's eligibility never has been documented. The "Certification of Live Birth" his campaign posted online is a document that Hawaii has made available to those not born in the state.

Lakin has been charged by the Army with missing a movement, disobeying a lawful order and dereliction of duty....
