'Birther' movement attorney Orly Taitz keeps fighting legal battle, thinks Obama can't be the president
By ALAN RIQUELMY - ariquelmy@ledger-enquirer.com


Orly Taitz, the so-called “birther” attorney who’s led charges across the country against President Barack Obama’s legitimacy to hold office, continues to defy a federal court order to pay $20,000 in sanctions and to challenge the judicial system.

The California attorney/dentist/real estate agent has risen to the national stage with her arguments that Obama can’t be the president because he wasn’t born in America.

Two of her cases in Columbus challenging Obama’s legitimacy to hold office were tossed out by U.S. District Court Judge Clay Land. Then her second client, Capt. Connie Rhodes, wrote a letter to the court in September 2009 claiming that Taitz exceeded her authority as an attorney and that she no longer wanted the California lawyer to represent her.

Taitz kept pushing the issue of Obama’s legitimacy with Land, who ultimately gave her a warning and then a time limit to explain why he shouldn’t levy a hefty fine against her. In October 2009, when Taitz did reply, though not to the judge’s specific command of why he shouldn’t sanction her, Land then issued $20,000 in sanctions against her.

Taitz appealed to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta, and the appeals court upheld Land’s sanctions in May.

She then forwarded U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas a brief for stay, in which she asked that the sanctions be reversed.

According to the Supreme Court’s website, that application was received July 8 and denied by Thomas on July 15.

On July 20, Taitz posted a motion requesting that she be allowed to verify that it is, in fact, Thomas’ signature on the denial of her application. She’s also sent her request for stay to Justice Samuel Alito, though she said a clerk told her it had been returned because of a small technical issue.

“So, they’re playing a new game,” Taitz said Wednesday. “This cannot happen in the Supreme Court of the United States.”

1. Well, she ran for CA Secretary of State in the GOP primary

It should not surprise you that she lost.

It should also not surprise you that she is challenging the result, claiming the other candidate was not qualified to run.

4. A RW nut denied by Thomas? Should be a sign
to give up Orly.

5. If there was a "liberal media" ... she'd be on it ...
Think about it ...

Fox runs "New Black Panther" nonsense 24/7.

If MSNBC was a "liberal" ... they would have her on over and over, presenting her "legal theory" ... then make the GOP denounce her, then make the Tea Party denounce her ... then start over.

7. It's getting to be mean to keep reporting on a women so seriously suffering
from a variety of psychiatric disorders.

And please, for the health of the nation, never again let us hear that voice of hers. It's melting icecaps and mutating the chromosomes of frogs.

8. She appears to be a woman who licks
Edited on Fri Jul-30-10 08:50 PM by saltpoint
toads.

Seriously -- there's some kind of toad or frog or other whose skin secretes some sort of mind-altering slime which when licked by humans causes psychedelic reactions.

Which would account for Orly Taitz's conduct and public remarks over the last couple years or so.

Of course I'm not ruling out her licking toads which are not hallucinogenic. I'm not sure I would know the difference, and my guess is she wouldn't either, and in any case toad-licking would be a lot more productive and substantive a pastime than the legal circus she's generating in the courts.

If you've already lent exhaustive attention to the possibility of Taitz's being a toad-licker, please disregard this post.

10. When I posted I rec'd this thread to '5.' Right now
it's at '2,' which suggests to me that there are a startlingly high number of Orly Taitz freepers afoot on the boards this evening.

babylonsister, you rock, and this OP is terrific.

And to hell with the lurking freeps.

Thank you.

:thumbsup:

11. I wonder if the SCOTUS justices ever read her briefs and laugh until they pee in their robes.
