Birther in Winter

Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin, the Army surgeon who is facing a court martial for refusing to deploy to Afghanistan until President Obama shows him his birth certificate, had a key legal hearing yesterday. It did not go well. Army Judge Col. Denise Lind ruled that all witnesses and evidence Lakin wanted to raise at trial relative to President Obama’s citizenship are irrelevant to his case and therefore inadmissible.
