as most of you know, Sage and myself have joined forces to fight against the birthers. Recently, it has become clear that their leader is one Orly Taitz, and that she is willing to do anything to get a court to force Obama to reveal his Birth Certificate. Not caring that the court is not the place, Taitz is on a political mission to take out Obama. Today, she lost

The court ruled that she was frivolous, that they were not the location, and that she should stop. Basically, they gave ammo to a board to disbar her, and keep her from practicing. They also sanctioned her 10,000$ for waisting time, and various other problems.

Long story short, I have decided to include some choice quotation, along with my responces – just expand the post to see them.

Was the court right to rule against Orly?

no reasonable attorney

Well, there is the problem, Taitz is not a reasonable attorney. Rather, she is a person who has a clear political (and racist) agenda, and will do anything she can to get it.

frivolous and outrageous conduct on the part of Ms. Taitz.

While this doesn’t tell us much, it is pretty much the main idea of the entire decision.

The absolute absence of any legitimate legal argument, combinedwith the political diatribe in her motions, demonstrates that Ms.Taitz’s purpose is to advance a political agenda and not to pursue a legitimate legal cause of action.

When a lawyer uses the courts as a platform for a political agenda disconnected from any legitimate legal cause of action, that lawyer abuses her privilege to practice law.

Sounds like a disembarrign ceremony is coming up soon

These allegations were based on counsel’s conclusory allegations that the President was not born in the UnitedStates. As a national leader in the so-called “birther movement,”Plaintiff’s counsel has attempted to use litigation to provide the“legal foundation” for her political agenda. She seeks to use theCourt’s power to compel discovery in her efforts to force thePresident to produce a “birth certificate” that is satisfactory toherself and her followers.

Forcing the court to do something that is political, and outside of the scope, is not possible. This helps to indicate that she doesn’t understand the court system and is having major issues.

During the hearing,Plaintiff’s counsel threatened that if she did not get the opportunityto obtain the relief she sought (discovery of a birth certificate),then a wave of subsequent similar actions would be filed in this Courtuntil she obtained what she wanted.

Tantrum much?

Although counsel’s present concern is thelocation of the President’s birth, it does not take much imaginationto extend the theory to his birthday. Perhaps, he looks “too young”to be President, and he says he stopped counting birthdays when hereached age thirty. If he refused to admit publicly that he is olderthan the constitutional minimum age of thirty-five, should Ms. Taitzbe allowed to file a lawsuit and have a court order him to produce hisbirth certificate?
See U.S. Const. art. II, § 1, cl. 4.

Or perhapsan eccentric citizen has become convinced that the President is analien from Mars, and the courts should order DNA testing to enforcethe Constitution.

Or, more to the point, perhaps the Court shouldissue a nationwide injunction that prevents the U.S. Army from sendingany soldier to Iraq or Afghanistan or anywhere else until Ms. Taitzis permitted to depose the President in the Oval Office.

Basically, the court is saying that there is no merit to her claim, and to even begin to force this would lead to nothing but a quagmire.
