And that statement shall be made, by Military, via public rally in favor of an opposing Commander in Chief?
Isn't it made public, that more military personnel support Ron Paul than any other candidate? Doesn't that show opposing the Commander-in-Chief?
Check the Operating Instructions.
The men and women in the military aren't inanimate objects, they are U.S. citizens and they, too, have unalienable rights just like the rest of us. After all we are told over and over again, they are fighting for our freedom, correct? So they fight for our freedom in some foreign land and yet at home their freedoms get taken away? Of course if you tell a lie big enough and long enough people will believe it...so the quote goes.
Article I, Section 8 says the Congress shall regulate the Army and Navy and militias. It does not say they can dictate or take away any of their unalienable rights. Unalienable rights are rights that cannot be bartered, contracted or taken away. They have a right to peaceably assemble,
to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
And it Artilce I, Section 8 says:
"To raise and support armies, but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than two years;
To provide and maintain a navy;
To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces;
To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the states respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress..."
Military code, is not the supreme law of the land. A code is not a law, it is the color of law:
"Color" means "An appearance, semblance, or simulacrum, as distinguished from that which is real. A prima facia or apparent right. Hence, a deceptive appearance, a plausible, assumed exterior, concealing a lack of reality; a disguise or pretext. See also colorable." Black's Law Dictionary, 5th Edition, on page 240.
"Colorable" means "That which is in appearance only, and not in reality, what it purports to be, hence counterfeit feigned, having the appearance of truth." Windle v. Flinn, 196 Or. 654, 251 P.2d 136, 146.
"Color of Law" means "The appearance or semblance, without the substance, of legal right. Misuse of power, possessed by virtue of state law and made possible only because wrongdoer is clothed with authority of state is action taken under 'color of law.'" Atkins v. Lanning. D.C.Okl., 415 F. Supp. 186, 188.
"The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."
