Orly Taitz loses birther case to an empty table
byharrijeFollow

Orly Taitz represented one of four plaintiffs challenging President Obama's eligibility for placement on the Democratic ballot in Georgia. The President and his counsel were subpoenaed to appear in court to defend against these challenges, but the President's attorney issued a nice letter to the judge stating that the Court had no business or jurisdiction even hearing the case and therefore the defense would not be in attendance.

So Taitz and her fellow attorneys presented their best arguments without challenge from the defense, and requested a summary judgment on the merits.

And the Court's judgment: the plaintiffs have no case and no credible evidence, and there is no law to support their claims. Judgment for the defendant, represented only by an empty table, on the merits. Or in this case, utter lack thereof.

1. Empty table 1, empty head 0

That about sums it up.

[MH1]

2. Or in other words, "laughed out of court"

[tanyev]

3. What has four legs and makes more sense than a team of crazy birfers?

[trof]

7. Wild Ass Guess: A table?

Didn't Barney Frank speak about arguing with a dining room table?
What do I win?

[hobbit709]

4. When you start having losing arguments with yourself

It's time to give it up.

[malaise]

5. They should have strapped that lunatic to the empty table

and dropped her off at a mental health institution for permanent care.
Or better yet - they should now deport her foreign ass.
The best part is that the media ignored all the lunatics this time around.

[Number23]

6. Hilarious and mind blowingly sad at the same time.

[dballance]

8. Why can't she just go away?

The judges should fine her into bankruptcy and get her out of the mix. Not to mention whatever makeup she uses should be appalled and sue her to stop using them.

[underpants]

10. Because SOMEONE is funding her.

Who those people are I suspect we all know. They want to keep this fire burning.

[Faygo Kid]

9. FReepers are deeply upset. Hi-Larious.

I posted just seconds after you, but you went first, so mods are free to scrub mine - BUT, I have to include the link to the whack out FReepers. No matter how many are their losses, they just can't accept that the black guy with the funny name is President of the United States. Ignorance, thy name is Free Republic: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2842152/posts

11. This is hilarious...

Wonder what the judge was threatened with? The fact that he was born in Hawaii and THEREFORE a natural born citizen makes absolutely no sense.

Actually it makes perfect sense to normal thinking people

[renie408]

13. I saw that. They get that Hawaii is actually part of the US, right? n/t

[tammywammy]

17. These are the same people that probably complain

that when Obama goes to Hawaii he's going on an international vacation.

[loyalsister]

16. "Birthers for Hawaiian statehood"

- a sign from John Stewart's rally in DC.

[tammywammy]

18. LOL!

That's perfect!

[greiner3]

27. Ok, so I'm an English nazi when it comes to spelling, punctuation and grammar;

But these people show they dropped out of school at an early age by their use of what they would also call 'English as a national language.'

BTW, whose head is Obama supposed to be holding via a terribly done Photoshop in post #30?

[nxylas]

30. 'Scuse my ignorance, but what's a "Honduran solution"?

Was post #4 a threat?

[ProSense]

12. The title is hilarious.

[workinclasszero]

14. Birthers are the lowest form of teabagger

They love mark rubio whos parents were Cuban at the time of his birth and of course Mittens whos daddy was born in Mexico.

No problems there eh birthers?

[malaise]

20. Don't forget McCain was born in

Panama

[workinclasszero]

21. Oh yeah thats right!

And the lyin scumbag hypocrites have no problems with all of that!

[Lochloosa]

26. And mittens father is Mexican....so therefore...

[Jim Lane]

31. Some of the Freepers love Rubio (want him on the ticket), but there are some who say he's ineligible

Also, in 2008, there was a faction within birtherdom that contended McCain was ineligible.

They all base their arguments on this provision of the Constitution: "No person shall be eligible to serve as President unless he was born in the United States to parents who were themselves citizens of the United States." They might even win a few cases if that provision were actually in the Constitution instead of in their imaginations.

15. Snake Orly

Is delusional. Poor thing is no doubt earning a living.

[fascisthunter]

19. She's a Total Nut

**crack**

[The Genealogist]

22. Cuing the sad trombone for Oily

Poor Oily, her arguments are worth nothing more than grist for the humor mill. So insane is she, trying to same stupid tactic again and again, expecting a different outcome. Who knows? she may eventually find a judge who agrees with her insane ramblings if she just keeps shopping long enough.

[rustydog]

23. So, you have Oily Taitz, arguing a case without anyone to make counter points

and she STILL lost?

Oh Yea, Republican

[NNN0LHI]

24. Play Orly Taitz Off, Keyboard Cat

[ljm2002]

25. Bazinga!!!

Ha ha Orly, you silly person. You're the one who should go back where she came from. You obviously have no understanding of how this country works. If you had your way, none of our birth certificates would mean anything at all, since according to you they can always be questioned.

What an ASS she is. I wish I could have been there just to see the summary judgment come down!

K&R

[Jester Messiah]

28. HAHAHA, you birther dickbags got your asses handed to you AGAIN!

Seriously, you have to wonder how it feels to keep getting your derp force-fed to you every single time. Just give up, morons!

[Capitalocracy]

29. Here's a lovely smiley I have yet to use...
