Michael New vs. U.S. Department of Defense > >Subject: SPC Michael New gets D.C. Appeal! > >(Washington) - The U.S. Court of Appeals has denied the Department of >Defense's request to throw SPC Michael New's case out with a "summary >affirmation," and has granted New a full hearing. New was the soldier >who reported to duty in Schweinfurt, Germany, in October, 1995, >wearing an authorized U.S. Battle Dress Uniform, in disobedience of a >direct order to wear unauthorized United Nations insignia. The >military judge, Lt. Col. Gary Jewell, refused to allow New's attorneys >to present any evidence to the panel concerning the legality of the >orders, the uniforms, or the deployment itself. He was >court-martialed and given a Bad Conduct Discharge in 1996. His case >is on appeal in the military courts as well. > >The 3rd Infantry Division has been supplying 550 men to the United >Nations for six month deployments into Macedonia since mid-1993, >without Congressional approval or authority. President Clinton >maintains that he doesn't need Congress' permission to send troops. >In mid-1993 Clinton issued Presidential Decision Directive #25 giving >himself the authority to act without Congress. While he provided a >summary of that directive to Congress, he classified the actual order, >so no Congressman is allowed to read it. A controversy has developed >over this practice. > >Virginia attorney Michael Farris said Thursday, "This ruling means >that Michael New's arguments will now get the full hearing they >deserve. The Constitution and the laws of this country make it clear >that the President cannot unilaterally assign soldiers to fight under >a foreign commander in foreign uniforms. Michael New has courageously >stood on the side of our country and our laws. We will now have an >opportunity to demonstrate the clear illegality of the Clinton >decision to unilaterally commit our bravest men and women to foreign >commanders who have the power to place them in harm's way in a battle >zone." Farris is head of the Home School Legal Defense Association, >and is New's lead attorney in the civilian courts. > >For more information: Michael Farris 540/338-1835 > Daniel New 409/539-1917 > > > > > >Nick Ivanovich, National Coordinator > > NATIONAL STATE SOVEREIGNTY COALITION > "Information/Action, Of, By and For the People" > > Visit the New NSSC website at: > http://ai2a.net/~ldelclef/nssc/index.htm > > $$$$$$$$$$$$ "BUY AMERICAN" $$$$$$$$$$$$ >* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * > > > > ======================================================================== Paul Andrew, Mitchell, B.A., M.S. : Counselor at Law, federal witness email: [address in tool bar] : Eudora Pro 3.0.1 on Intel 586 CPU web site: http://www.supremelaw.com : library & law school registration ship to: c/o 2509 N.
