Affidavit In Birther Suit Contains Extraordinary Claims Against Orly Taitz
<snip>

In dismissing Barnett et al v. Obama et al, Judge David Carter, of the U.S. District Court in the Central District of California, voiced concern about affidavits charging Taitz suborned perjury. "This Court is deeply concerned that Taitz may have suborned perjury through witnesses she intended to bring before this Court," he wrote late last month.

The Orange County Register, which obtained the affidavit from author Lucas Smith, runs down the charges, which get seriously into the Birther weeds:

Among allegations made in the affidavit from Smith is that Taitz asked him to say that he was the one who obtained a document that was alleged to be a 1964 Republic of Kenya Certified Copy of Registration of Birth of Barack Hussein Obama II. That document had been called a forgery by experts and in his affidavit, Smith said his research also concluded that the document was fake.

Taitz did not immediately respond to our call for comment, but she told the OC Register the charges in the affidavit are false, and that it was probably written under pressure from unspecified sources.

Keep in mind while reading that this is how Smith describes himself in the affidavit:

I, Lucas Smith, often spend my days and sometimes my nights marshaling evidence which aides in establishing under both standards of evidence, preponderance of the evidence and beyond a reasonable doubt, that US President Barack Obama was born at Coast Province General Hospital, Mombasa, British Protectorate of Kenya and is ineligible to serve as President of the United States.

1. Sorriest excuse for pleadings I've ever seen.
No standing, no proof of harm, frivolous and vexatious litigation, blah blah....I hope the judge throws her under the jail for contempt.

3. Nothing grinds more slowly than the wheels of justice
While I think a lot of this stuff will happen since she's been clumsy enough to be an embarrassment to the powerful people protecting her instead of embarrassing Obama, the pace will be glacial.
