Just because she's spent the past few months campaigning to become California's next secretary of state doesn't mean that "birther" queen Dr. Orly Taitz has given up her many court battles seeking to prove that President Barack Obama is not an American citizen. On May 19, Taitz filed a "motion to reconsider" in her mostly failed lawsuit against Obama in DC federal court. And one basis for the motion was none other than a Mother Jones article! Yes, Taitz told the court that she has discovered new evidence of "intimidation and harassment" against her in my story on Dan Lacey, the Minnesota "Painter of Pancakes," who has painted some nude portraits of Taitz giving birth to a pancake.

Taitz told me in May that her opponents have sent copies of the painting to her children and family along with threatening emails in what she believes was an attempt to scare her into dropping her insurgent campaign to be the GOP's candidate for California's secretary of state. She suspects that one of Obama's powerful allies commissioned the painting. I asked Lacey about that and he was cagey on the subject. So Taitz wants to subpoena him to force him to out his benefactor. She writes:

4. Has She Paid The 20Gs Yet???

If not, they should drag her sorry ass and throw it behind bars for a few...it'll do our court system a whole lot of good.

8. Q: "Why do you think Obama was born in Kenya?" A: "Look! A pancake!"

I don't doubt the poor whackadoodle has gotten some harassing mail or phone calls: there are plenty of other whackadoodles to do that. But it would be good for Orly if she got psychiatric help, good for the courts if she got sanctioned again, and good for the legal profession if she got disbarred

9. Where are the RW-hating lawyer people who always complain about

lawyers looking to litigate everything and clogging up the courts with frivolous court filings and lawsuits?

10. DSM-V may be further delayed 'til they get to the bottom of this

The revisions to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders were scheduled for 2013, but it may be later than that before they figure out Orly Taitz Syndrome.
