'Birther' attorney Orly Taitz just won't give up on Obama

Posted on Friday, July 30, 2010

By Alan Riquelmy | Columbus Ledger-Enquirer

COLUMBUS, Ga. — Orly Taitz, the so-called "birther" attorney who’s led charges across the country against President Barack Obama's legitimacy to hold office, continues to defy a federal court order to pay $20,000 in sanctions and to challenge the judicial system.

The California attorney/dentist/real estate agent has risen to the national stage with her arguments that Obama can't be the president because he wasn't born in America.

Two of her cases in Columbus challenging Obama's legitimacy to hold office were tossed out by U.S. District Court Judge Clay Land. Then her second client, Capt. Connie Rhodes, wrote a letter to the court in September 2009 claiming that Taitz exceeded her authority as an attorney and that she no longer wanted the California lawyer to represent her.

Taitz kept pushing the issue of Obama’s legitimacy with Land, who ultimately gave her a warning and then a time limit to explain why he shouldn’t levy a hefty fine against her. In October 2009, when Taitz did reply, though not to the judge’s specific command of why he shouldn’t sanction her, Land then issued $20,000 in sanctions against her.

Taitz appealed to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta, and the appeals court upheld Land’s sanctions in May.

She then forwarded U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas a brief for stay, in which she asked that the sanctions be reversed.

According to the Supreme Court’s website, that application was received July 8 and denied by Thomas on July 15.

On July 20, Taitz posted a motion requesting that she be allowed to verify that it is, in fact, Thomas’ signature on the denial of her application. She’s also sent her request for stay to Justice Samuel Alito, though she said a clerk told her it had been returned because of a small technical issue.

“So, they’re playing a new game,” Taitz said Wednesday. “This cannot happen in the Supreme Court of the United States.”

7. LOL!

She also strikes me as having a similarity to Glenn Close's character in "Fatal Attraction".

Why this person is not in a straitjacket in an institution somewhere is beyond me. There must be a Nurse Ratchet out there just waiting to give her the TLC she deserves. :)

10. "She really thinks she's Al Pacino in a skirt"

Brilliant comment, Xipe Totec. I guess I'm showing my age with that reference. I saw the film when it first came out in theaters (1979), and before Pacino's hair got "weird."
