High Court Turns Away Appeal From 'Birther' Leader
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: January 10, 2011


Filed at 10:03 a.m. EST

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from a lawyer who has been in the forefront of the challenge to President Barack Obama's citizenship.

The high court on Monday did not comment in refusing to hear the appeal filed by California lawyer and dentist Orly Taitz. She was contesting a $20,000 fine for filing what a federal judge determined was a frivolous lawsuit.

11.  Supreme Court Rejects Appeal Filed By Birther Queen Orly Taitz
Source: The Huffington Post

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from a lawyer who has been in the forefront of the challenge to President Barack Obama's citizenship.

The high court on Monday did not comment in refusing to hear the appeal filed by California lawyer and dentist Orly Taitz. She was contesting a $20,000 fine for filing what a federal judge determined was a frivolous lawsuit.

The suit was filed on behalf of Army Capt. Connie Rhodes, who sought to avoid deployment to Iraq by claiming Obama wasn't born in the United States and thus, is ineligible to be president and commander in chief.

12. Vexatious litigant
Why is she allowed to just keep on suing and suing?

Why must this flagrant abuse of the Court system be allowed?

13. Now, charge her for the frivilous appeal costs.
If this woman were a cartoon character, she'd have more credibility.
