Cook v. Good Filed on July 10th 2009 Taitz i Attorney

[Selene]

Fascinating case:

The Major has already had his orders for deployment recalled or revoked.

The TRO seems to have gotten before a very serious Judge out in California.

This is scribd and 38 pages long, but a hell of a read.

Too much legal mumbo jumbo. Could you please summarize this in 500 words or less?

Thank you.

The case has been dismissed because of a lack of standing.

In other words, the injunctive relief demanded in the TRO [Temporary Restraining Order] was rendered moot by the military reversing his deployment orders.

His suit was to restrain the government while it was determined whether his "officer's oath" [versus the enlisted man's oath] which states:

"I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;

that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion;

and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."

Their contention is that the litigant was defending the Constitution by demanding proof that the order came through a "legitimate" chain of command.

It was a nice wrinkle, but the military just cancelled his deployment.

Oh well, this one had legs too, and I do not mean the weird looking female attorney Taitz.
