The Best Bad News of the Day - Can We Say Mousetrap?

This is rich and comes from U.S. Army Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook, a reservist who received orders mobilizing him to active duty in Afghanistan in June.

Soldier balks at deploying; says Obama isn’t president - Tuesday, Jul. 14, 2009 - his legal action seeks a temporary restraining order and status as a conscientious objector. Do not be deceived, however.

Cook asserts he 'would be acting in violation of international law by engaging in military actions outside the United States under this President’s command. ... simultaneously subjecting himself to possible prosecution as a war criminal by the faithful execution of these duties.'

Maj. Cook's lawyer has filed a motion with the U.S. District Court to grant his client’s request based upon Maj. Cook’s belief that Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States and, therefore, ineligible to serve as commander-in-chief of the U.S. Armed Forces.

What's different, this time? Obviously, Cook's manuever is a clever attempt to have previously sequestered evidence produced in respect to details of President Obama's birth. There is little doubt that the bases upon which courts declined (dismissed) previous legal efforts to release pertinent documents in the past may not suffice this time.

Certainly, were the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia to be coerced by Obama's lawyer-replete administration to dismiss Cook's motion, appeals and countersuits may be brought to hold Obama-era military personnel harmless from possible prosecution as war criminals by faithful execution of their duties. Does this motion proceed then to a world court?

You betcha! Does Maj. Cook, an engineer, come out of the deal with a book deal? Right again! Major Cook is a brave patriot to personally undertake his challenge. As Obama's lawyers attempt to suppress and finesse the court's decision, supporters of Major Cook, inside and outside of the Obama administration will provide ammunition making the book a blockbuster, creating a major political scandal, and perhaps both. That is the mousetrap.
