Lakin guilty on 3 counts

Lakin guilty on 3 counts, but that's not the real story in this case.

Orly Taitz, one of the attorneys spearheading the legal efforts to compel Obama to produce his birth and citizenship documents, criticized the strategy of conceding guilt on three charges.

"Even if you beat the fourth charge, what have you gained?" Taitz argued. "He's still facing 18 months in prison, loss of retirement benefits and dismissal from the service."

Taitz acknowledged that Puckett's hands are tied by Lind's earlier rulings effectively forbidding what might be the most effective line of defense, the argument that any order originating with Obama might in fact be illegal as long as Obama's eligibility remains unproven.

"He's reduced to arguing a technicality," Taitz told WND. "The whole trial is a sham, a farce. They're not allowed to discuss the only real issue here, Obama's eligibility."

Retired Navy Lt. Commander Charles Kerchner, the plaintiff in an eligibility suit recently rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court, doubts that justice will be done in Lakin's court martial.

"They have not allowed him discovery and exculpatory evidence, which the Constitution affords all of us," said Kerchner. "I don't know what legal rabbit [the defense is] going to pull out of a hat but they're obviously planning something."

Lakin's brother, Dr. Greg Lakin, was more upbeat about Puckett's defense strategy.

"[Puckett] wants to focus on the big issue here," Greg Lakin told WND. According to Lakin, Puckett chose to concede the smaller matters in order to direct the court martial panel's attention on the "missing movement" charge, which is most closely linked to Obama's personal authority because it ties directly to the order to deploy to Iraq as part of Obama's surge strategy.

"The president has taken full credit for the Afghanistan deployment, he signed the order," said Greg Lakin. "Terry will have a chance to say his piece during the sentencing portion of the trial."

The real story is that Military Justice has be co-oped as have many Federal Courts, and 4 out of 5 "Justices" of the Supreme Court.

What Constitution?
