Some years ago LCDR Walter Fitzpatrick was prosecuted and convicted at court-martial and later retired. After that he began a website called JAGHunter. Initially he used the site to lambast any of the Navy JAG’s involved in his case along with his commanders. Over the years there have been other oddities from the retired LCDR.…

I have just returned from watching most of the Article 39(a), UCMJ, hearing. (I left as the last item on the table was a defense request for Alan Keyes and LtGen McInerney.) To say that the military judge destroyed the defense arguments in detail would not be an overstatement. Although the military judge did politely…

safeguardourconstitution reports that: “Obama Administration unleashes Army lawyers instead of releasing birth certificate.” This is shameful hyperbole and utterly incorrect. LTC Lakin is alleged to have committed offenses in violation of the UCMJ. The conduct alleged cuts to the very heart of military requirements of obedience to orders, fidelity to the oath of office, and…

Blogger Rainier4311 has a piece on LTC Lakin which is critical of Anderson Cooper’s interview. Regardless of the merits of the interview, the piece contains some interesting and uninformed comments on the military legal system. This Article 138 discovery process must be done. LTC Lakin now has the right to discovery based on the Articles…

Obama Conspiracy Theories blog has this comment on the CNN LTC Lakin interview: Paul Jensen, tried to imply things that were false by clever irrelevancies and innuendo, but he told one outright whopper: In the state of Hawaii there’s a statute that allows anyone born outside the state of Hawaii, including in a foreign country,…

LTC Lakin has made his CNN appearance. Courtesy of Dwight “ML” Sullivan and CAAFLog, here is a link. Like DMLS I found the comment about protecting the client somewhat odd in light of counsel’s apparent involvement in producing the video which has in effect become LTC Lakin’s public confession of an “intent” to refuse orders.…

Here is another viewpoint, from a civilian, about the need to court-martial LTC Lakin. The (Greeley, CO) Tribune opinion says: When you become a soldier of the United States of America, you lose some of your rights. Except in extreme cases, you no longer have the right to refuse orders of superiors. You don’t have…

GiveUsLiberty blog has this piece. Hopefully Mr. Apuzzo has a similar depth of knowledge about the UCMJ, R.C.M., and Military Rules of Evidence, to his knowledge of constitutional law. Or will he dump that on learned military counsel, that’s another part of Article 38, UCMJ. This comment evidences a lack of understanding of chain of…

Oooops, even his own family appears to be dissing’ him according to this report from The Greeley Tribune. His Greeley relatives are putting distance between themselves and his birther campaign. Lakin’s father Frank told the Greeley Tribune Friday that his son’s video wasn’t representative of the family. “This does not reflect the opinions or the…

Family Security Matters reports: A decorated active duty Army medical officer, Lieutenant Colonel Terry Lakin (selected for promotion to Colonel), is calling upon his chain of command and his Congressional delegation to force President Obama to release his original birth certificate. He is the highest ranking officer to go public over this controversy and in…
