Dig deep DU - Orly Taitz considering running for Office in CA
Edited on Tue Jan-26-10 05:38 PM by JBoy
http://blogs.ocweekly.com/navelgazing/politics/orly-taitz-to-run-for-office/

According to recent postings on her blog (caution: malware infected), the Laguna Niguel dentist/lawyer is considering a run for either California Secretary of State or Attorney General. Why? To give her standing to sue Barack Obama, of course.

Considering that Judge David O. Carter threw out her Barnett v. Obama lawsuit largely because of "redressability"--meaning that regardless of a claim's merits (Taitz's have none, but that's another issue), courts can't remove a sitting president--it's not clear how being elected would make a big difference. But Taitz is gonna try anyhow.

She recently posted asking whether any of her followers could get her in touch with the California Republican Party or with Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele. She's also looking for someone that can enlist the help of whomever managed the campaign for Scott Brown, the Republican victor of Massachusetts' recent special election for U.S. Senate.

-------------

Freepers are giddy about this:

"If she wins, 0bama will have to prove his citizenship status to get on the California ballot in 2012."

Edit to add: :rofl:

1. These people get more out of touch with reality every day.
She might win a county fair pie throwing contest but never elected office in CA.

2. I want to see her debate
Both Arnold and Arrianna Huffington.

We might need an interpreter, but it sure would be fun!

3. She could run unopposed and still lose

She doesn't stand a chance at a statewide office in this state.

She should move to South Carolina and try there.

7. Uh, did she ever pay that $20,000 fine for misconduct?
Maybe she's hoping for some campaign donations to cover that.

9. Oh lord.
Pardon me while I laugh my fucking spleen out.

If she thinks she has any chance at getting elected to anything she is on some REAL strong drugs.

10. "Orly Taitz" Limbaugh is not eligible to run in California
Edited on Tue Jan-26-10 06:46 PM by meow2u3
He's allegedly from Florida :evilgrin:

edited to add: If Dick Cheney can say he's from Wyoming despite being a resident of Texas, what's going to stop Limbaugh from running in California? :shrug:

13. She's been very quiet lately.
I've wondered what she's up to -- and whether she ever paid that fine.
