QuoteU.S. Army Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook is seeking a federal court order to stall and eventually prevent an upcoming deployment to Afghanistan.
In the 20-page document — filed July 8 with the United States District Court, Middle District of Georgia — Cook's California-based attorney, Orly Taitz, asks the court to consider granting his client's request based upon Cook's belief that President Barrack Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States and is therefore ineligible to serve as commander-in-chief of U.S Armed Forces.
Cook further states he "would be acting in violation of international law by engaging in military actions outside the United States under this President's command, and that Plaintiff would thus be simultaneously unable to perform his duties in good Rule 65(b) Application for Temporary Restraining Order 22 conscience and yet be simultaneously subjecting himself to possible prosecution as a war criminal by the faithful execution of these duties."
I hope he enjoys his Court Martial.

And there is this excellent comment from Fark:
Quotenetweavr: Mom: Kid, you failed Political Science.
Kid: No, mom I totally passed that class.
Mom: This report card says you failed.
Kid: Nah, it's a mistake. Ask the school.
Mom: I called the school and talked to the teacher they said you failed.
Kid: No way, I demand to see the report card!
Mom: It's right here!
Kid: No, the real report card kept in the school's records.
Mom: The school can't give that out, that's why we get this copy. I already called the school and they said there was no error, you failed.
Kid: The copy isn't the real thing, I passed. Until you get the true scotsman, you can't say I failed.
Mom: *facepalm*

This quote from freeperville just sums it all up:
QuoteI think Fox is waiting for the evidence to surface along with some court rulings before they touch it.Sounds whimpy of them though
Yeah, what "whimps", relying on evidence like that (makes a nice change from their SOP). What sort of faggot waits for proof before asserting stupid shit like that, huh?
Edit: if the Freepers are to be believed, then this guy is a member of theirs.
A couple of people on Fark said the same thing. Here's the link:

On one hand I would love to see Obama drop copies of his birth certificate all over the country like flyers over Nazi Germany.
On the other hand, it would deprive me of watching these people act like complete loons.

Still seems extremely odd that someone smart enough to reach the rank of Major would do something as idiotic as this.

Major victory for Army warrior questioning Obama's birthplace

© 2009 WorldNetDaily
A U.S. Army Reserve major from Florida scheduled to report for deployment to Afghanistan within days has had his military orders revoked after arguing he should not be required to serve under a president who has not proven his eligibility for office.
His attorney, Orly Taitz, confirmed to WND the military has rescinded his impending deployment orders.
"We won! We won before we even arrived," she said with excitement. "It means that the military has nothing to show for Obama. It means that the military has directly responded by saying Obama is illegitimate – and they cannot fight it. Therefore, they are revoking the order!"
Or maybe they don't want a whiner on the frontlines.

More than likely the motivation is to avoid causing disruption. morale is already low enough from the reports of a few people i know over there. i'm sure they don't want a publicized story of a guy over there spreading dissent....
they very well could court martial him after they figure their spin (or the story simply dies out), but that's less ham fisted than one might expect... i figured they'd have him in the brig pdq...
Not unless he actually refused orders. All I see here is that he filed some paperwork.

Is seeking a court order to delay or overturn orders not a refusal? (idunno the legalities, but the actuality is clear enough...)
also, i should admit that, while i haven't even looked into the arguments on either side of this 'eligibility issue', (even superficially) i support the 'birthers' out of a personal aesthetically motivated choice to support the undermining of the state.
to this end i also propose referring to the POTUS using the amended term 'APOTUS' (Alleged President of the United States)....
that just makes me smile...
I said it before and I'll say it again
the birthers are what makes this decade great

QuoteA controversial suit brought by a U.S. Army reservist has been joined by a retired Army two-star general and an active reserve Air Force lieutenant colonel.
http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/news/story/778482.html
getting better and better.
since the fellow who brought the suit has been excused from duty, and the story is still marching along, i wonder if it will inspire other 'conscientious objectors' to follow suit?
Well, now that they have the new passport requirements to travel to Canada, just hopping the border to avoid duty has become more of a process. So, I guess it's just easier these days to go the nut-job/tinfoil-hat route.
A federal court has already dismissed his case:

QuoteA federal judge this morning dismissed the suit filed here by a U.S. Army reservist who says he shouldn't have to go to Afghanistan because he believes Barack Obama was never eligible to be president.
Judge Clay Land sided with the defense, which claimed in its response to Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook's suit, filed July 8 with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia, that Cook's suit is "moot" in that he already has been told he doesn't have to go to Afghanistan, so the relief he is seeking has been granted.
"Federal court only has authority of actual cases and controversies," Land said. "The entire action is dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction."
The judge is in on the conspiracy!!! :tinfoilhat:

You find this a lot in the courts. An administrative agency will cave, and the judge will toss the case (just like here), specifically to avoid setting precedent (either positive or negative on the issue, believe it or not). This is a containment effort to avoid the issue growing past the original claimant (just like here).

IIRC, this jackass went to jail.
After the long form release, there was a hue & cry that he should be released, because he was "entrapped" by Obama.

Oh, yeah. He was fooled by Obama, you see, who should have released the long form before the officer got all crazy. So it's not his fault that he violated his oath based on a conspiracy theory. And Obama is a Mooooozlim, which is why he tries to put White Christian soldiers in Ft Leavenworth.
(Pretty sure I'm talking about the right guy, I only ever heard of one officer failing to deploy because Obama is a Nazi Socialist Communist Crypto-Muslim from Kenya.)
There were several of them.
Cook is the one who was a reserve officer who VOLUNTEERED to deploy, then filed the case. As he has the right to request a cancellation of orders up until the actual day he deployed, the Army just revoked his orders.
