Oh, For Goodness Sake

For Birthers, nothing like a good mutiny

Our favorite dentist-lawyer in all of Birfistan, Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq., sent out a call on her website, dated July 9:

Important

An officer has contacted me a few days ago (I will not provide his name), stating that he is about to be deployed to Afghanistan on July the 15th from Fort Benning. We were supposed to file an injunction, a stay of the deployment of this officer to Afghanistan until the eligibility of of Barack Hussein Obama as Commander in Chief is verified. The documents were supposed to be filed in the middle district of Georgia today. Due to personal reasons this officer cannot be the plaintiff at the moment, however all the pleadings in the case are ready to go. If you know any enlisted or officers, who are ready to be deployed, but want to stay their deployment until Obama’s legitimacy for the posittion of Commander in Chief is verified, please have them contact me. As the case is ready, it can be filed within hours.

Mutiny?, I thought.

From Below the Beltway came the answer:

Yep, that’s right, she’s actively encouraging members of the United States military to disobey orders, and, apparently, she’s succeeded in finding a member of the military sufficiently delusional to sign on to a lawsuit that could subject them to discipline under the UCMJ.

I’ve always thought that, one day, Orly and the other birthers would do something that would be just a step too far that would get them in serious trouble. Encouraging, some would even say facilitating, desertion by a military officer just might fight fit the bill.

It seems Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. found a martyr for the cause yesterday and a hearing has been scheduled July 16 for an Emergency Restraining Order Against Deployment.

Since Major Stefan Frederick Cook is due to report for active military duty on July 15, the day before the scheduled hearing, and his ass will belong to them, I’m not sure how this civil restraining order works for Cook. He doesn’t have Conscientious Objector status, yet, according to Birther-mouth World Nut Daily, who, in an amazing coinkydink, interviewed the late-breaking stand-in mutineer, Major Stefan Frederick Cook, in time for a five minute after midnight release.

I’ve never been a soldier or a lawyer, so there is a lot I don’t know, but how does it add up? Does the military simply allow a precedent to develop which could weaken morale and discipline? In wartime, no less? From the Plaintiff’s standpoint, why not an emergency hearing before July 15, when a civil action might make some teeny bit of sense? Can’t the judge now say this is a matter for the military to decide before any remedy can be sought from a civilian court?

But, hey, that’s Birthers for you. The day Birthers start making sense to me is the day I’ll start to worry.

Uh oh.

JAG HUNTER here:

For Dr. Taitz: You are a fool. One very simple government response to Major Cook’s request is to grant Cook’s administrative request, wave the magic wand, delcare Cook a “CO,” then move along.

Meanwhile, no one’s laid a glove on OBAMA.
