'via Blog this'Judge Clay Land of the US District Court in Columbus, Georgia, threw out a case brought by US Army Captain Connie Rhodes, who earlier this month sued for the right to refuse deployment orders to Iraq, on the argument that the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, President Barack Obama, was not born in the United States and is therefore not the legitimate head of the army.
According to the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer, Judge Clay stated in his ruling that the plaintiff “has presented no credible evidence and has made no reliable factual allegations to support her unsubstantiated, conclusory allegations and conjecture that President Obama is ineligible to serve as president of the United States.”
The ruling continues: “Instead, she uses her complaint as a platform for spouting political rhetoric, such as her claims that the president is ‘an illegal usurper, an unlawful pretender, [and] an unqualified imposter.’”
As WTVM-TV in Columbus reported, the judge also stated that Rhodes’ attorney, birther leader Orly Taitz, “will be subject to counsel sanctions for bringing any future actions in his court which are similarly frivolous.”

(Why do these crazy anti-sex people wear so much fucking make-up and bleach the ever-loving shit outta their hair? Why? If she didn't look like Tammy Faye Baker she might get laid and find something better to do with her time. And she isn't even FROM here. OMG. Fuck off!)
[edit]Early life and emigration
Orly Taitz was born to a Jewish family in Chişinău, Moldavian SSR in the Soviet Union (present day Moldova).[6] Both of her parents were science teachers.[11] In 1981, Orly immigrated to Israel,[1] where she obtained a dentistry degree at Hebrew University.[1] In 1987, she met Yosef Taitz who proposed four months later. Orly immigrated to the United States in May 1987, marrying the Latvian-born[11] Yosef in Las Vegas, Nevada.[6] Taitz became a naturalized United States citizen in 1992.[2][12]She received her law degree from Taft Law School[11][13] and was admitted to practice law in California in December 2002.[14]
Taitz lives in Laguna Niguel, California[15] and owns dental practices in nearby Mission Viejoand Rancho Santa Margarita.[6] She has three sons,[6] holds a second degree black belt inTaekwondo, and speaks five languages: English, Hebrew, Romanian, Russian and Spanish.[16][17]
Before her national news exposure, Taitz was quoted in The Orange County Register in 2006 supporting Israeli military actions against Hamas and Hezbollah,[18] and downplaying the impact of the espionage trial of two American Israel Public Affairs Committee staffers[19](charges against both were subsequently dropped).[20] Taitz has also said that she lost relatives in the Holocaust and that her grandmother witnessed the Kishinev pogrom.[16][21]
[edit]
(At least she isn't denying the holocaust. Where was she when Bush was stealing the presidency?)
Taitz's claims regarding Barack Obama
Main article: Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories
Taitz alleges that President Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States and is therefore ineligible to serve as President. She claims he was born in Kenya and that he falsified his Selective Service papers and his application to the Illinois bar.[22] "I believe [Obama] is the most dangerous thing one can imagine, in that he represents radical communism and radical Islam: He was born and raised in radical Islam, all of his associations are with radical Islam, and he was groomed in the environment of the dirty Chicago mafia. Can there be anything scarier than that?"[23]
Taitz has made other Obama-related claims, including:
- A number of homosexuals from Obama's former church have died mysteriously.
- Obama has dozens of Social Security numbers, and his passport is inaccurate. Taitz claims that a person who was cooperating with the FBI in connection with Obama's passport died mysteriously, "shot in the head".
- A Kenyan birth certificate with the name "Barack Obama" is authentic.
- Obama's first act as President was to donate money to Hamas, which she claims will be used to build Qassam rockets.
- Obama, or someone connected to him, has made threats to Taitz's life and vandalized her car.[21]
- Obama is having the Federal Emergency Management Agency build internment camps for "Anti-Obama dissidents".[16]
- Osama bin Laden was killed years ago, with his body kept on ice, and the announcement of his death was timed to divert attention from an upcoming court case she is litigating challenging Obama's citizenship.[24]
(I don't even care if Obama was born on Mars. he's better than any Bush or Bush related psycho.)
[edit]
Taitz's other claims
(These are probably true.)
Taitz has also supported a number of other theories not directly related to Obama, including:
- Goldman Sachs runs the United States Treasury.[23]
- Baxter International has developed a bird flu vaccine that kills people.[23]
- Representative Alcee Hastings and the House of Representatives are planning to build at least six labor camps.[23]
- Hugo Chávez owns the software that runs American voting machines,[21]
- FactCheck is untrustworthy because of its links to the Annenberg Foundation.[21]
Keyes v. Bowen
In November 2008, Taitz filed a lawsuit on behalf of independent presidential candidateAlan Keyes, suing California's secretary of state for allegedly failing to ascertain Obama's eligibility for president before placing him on the ballot.
(Seriously? you can't even get a bank account without giving blood, hair samples, and a kidney. Can that be true?)
The case was dismissed on May 4, 2009.[25] A California Court of Appeal affirmed the dismissal on October 25, 2010;[26] theSupreme Court of California declined, without comment, to review the case on February 2, 2011;[27] and the U.S. Supreme Court declined, without comment, to review the case on October 3, 2011.[28] Taitz was not counsel of record for the appeals.
Barnett v. Obama
Taitz filed a lawsuit on behalf of Pamela Barnett, Alan Keyes, other candidates in the 2008 federal elections, several military personnel, and some legislators from various states alleging that Obama is ineligible to be president. On October 29, 2009, U.S. District Court Judge David O. Carter dismissed the lawsuit.[30][31] The dismissal criticized Taitz's legal abilities, stated her behavior was "unethical", and suggested that Taitz "may have suborned perjury".[31][32][33] On December 22, 2011, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the dismissal.[34][35] On June 11, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court declined, without comment, a request by litigants not represented by Taitz to hear the case.[36]
Cook v. Good
Taitz represented Stefan F. Cook, a major in the United States Army Reserve, who challenged orders implementing his voluntary deployment to Afghanistan because of his claim that Obama is not a legitimate president. The case was dismissed when the Army Reserve revoked his order to deploy.[37] Taitz filed an appeal in the Eleventh Circuit, which was dismissed on November 24, 2009, due to a failure to prosecute the appeal.[38]
MacDonald
In September 2009, Taitz was retained by Captain Connie Rhodes, a U.S. Army physician. Rhodes sought a restraining order to prevent her forthcoming deployment to Iraq. In the request for a restraining order, Taitz argued the deployment order was illegal since Obama was illegally serving as President. On September 16, federal judge Clay D. Land rejected the motion and denounced it as frivolous. In his opinion, the judge noted that Rhodes had not previously raised any objections to orders she had received from Obama since he had been sworn in. He noted that while she seemed to have "conscientious objections" to taking orders from Obama, she did not seem to object to serving under him "as long as she is permitted to remain on American soil". Land then upbraided Taitz for using military officers as pawns to further her claims that Obama was not qualified to be President. He also expressed astonishment at Taitz's apparent misunderstanding of American judicial fundamentals, saying that she was trying to make Obama "'prove his innocence' to 'charges' that are based upon conjecture and speculation".[39]
(I agree with this judge, and you won't hear me say that a lot.)
Within hours of Land's decision, Taitz told the news site Talking Points Memo that she felt Land's refusal to hear her case was an act of treason.[40] Two days later, she filed a motion to stay Rhodes' deployment pending rehearing of the dismissal order. She repeated her treason allegations against Land and made several other intemperate statements, including claims that Land was aiding and abetting purported aspirations of "dictatorship" by Obama.[41] Land rejected the motion as frivolous and ordered her to show cause why she should not be fined $10,000 for abuse of judicial process.[42]
Wikisource has original text related to this article: |
A few hours later, a letter bearing Rhodes's signature arrived, stating that Taitz filed the motion without her knowledge or consent, asking Land to remove Taitz as her attorney of record in the case, and stating that it was her "plan to file a complaint with the California State Bar due to [Taitz's] reprehensible and unprofessional actions".[43] On September 26, 2009, Taitz filed a motion with the court seeking to withdraw as counsel for Rhodes, so she could divulge in court "privileged attorney-client communications" since the dismissed Rhodes case "is now a quasi-criminal prosecution of the undersigned attorney, for the purpose of punishment".
(Revoke her citizenship, and ship her back to Latvia or wherever...What an asspain.)

In the media
Taitz received media attention in connection with Obama eligibility questions in late 2008.[109] She was interviewed by co-hosts David Shuster and Tamron Hall on MSNBC on August 3, 2009.[1] Various media outlets described her appearance on the network as an "implosion",[1][110] while Taitz asserted that Shuster, who is Jewish, was a "brownshirt", a charge she would repeat in a phone interview the following week.[21]
Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly called Taitz a "nut". In response, she and pastor James David Manning organized a protest outside Fox News headquarters in New York City in November, 2009, which drew an estimated 15 to 20 attendees.[111] In 2010, artist Dan Lacey produced a widely discussed painting of a nude Orly Taitz after giving birth to an object resembling a pancake; Taitz herself expressed outrage at the painting, and urged Lacey to reveal the identity of his sponsor. Lacey subsequently jokingly "revealed" that he had been funded by George Soros.[112][113]
In April 2011, Lawrence O'Donnell invited Taitz on MSNBC so that she could address Obama's long form birth certificate, which had been released the day before. When Taitz only wanted to talk about Obama's alleged Selective Service papers and refused to comment on his birth certificate, O'Donnell kicked her off the show, stating: "Look, she's crazy. I invited a crazy person on this show to see if the crazy person...could say something responsive, something human, to the document that was released today...and she wants to play with all of her other kid's toys."[114]
After catching Orly's now infamous meltdown on MSNBC last night, I decided to do a little research to see if there was anyone out there who actually agrees with her. Turns out there is, and they all have webcams, aaaand I'm pretty sure one of them is my high school principal disguised as a Blues Brother. Now for the hard part: figuring out who's more insane, Orly "Birther Queen" Taitz, or a bunch of random wingnuts from the internet(s). You decide.
