Birthers Meet John Roberts
Monday, March 16, 2009 at 7:26 am
A quick follow-up to Friday’s post: Obama “Birther” Orly Taitz did indeed confront Chief Justice John Roberts at a forum at the University of Idaho-Moscow. From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
At one point during the audience question period, Orly Taitz, a woman from Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif., said she had documents proving that President Obama was not born in the United States and thus could not be president. While audience members laughed, she said she had half a million signatures of people demanding the Supreme Court hear the matter.
Roberts cut her off by saying that if she had documents with her, she should give them to security officers. He also said he could not discuss the issue.
Well, sure. That’s what the lying liberal media reported. On her blog, Taitz had … a lot more to say.
I was the first to run to the microphone and told Roberts. ” My name is Orly Taitz, I am an attorney from Southern California. I left home at three o’clock in the morning and flew and drove thousands of miles to talk to you and ask you a question”. Roberts seemed to be impressed by that and I continued. “Are you aware that there is criminal activity going on in the Supreme Court of the United States. I have submitted my case Lightfoot v Bowen to you. You agreed to hear it in the conference of all 9 Justices on January 23. Your clerk, Danny Bickle, on his own accord refused to forward to you an important supplemental brief, he has hidden it from you and refused to post it on the docket. Additionally, my case was erased from the docket, completely erased one day after the inauguration, only two days before it was supposed to be heard in the conference. Outraged citizens had to call and demand for it to be posted. On Monday I saw Justice Scalia and he had absolutely no knowledge of my case, that was supposedly heard in conference on January 23rd. It is inexplicable, particularly knowing that roughly half a million American citizens have written to him and to you Justice Roberts demanding that you hear this issue of eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama aka Barry Soetoro to be the President of the United States.” At that point I have shown to Roberts a stack of papers, that I held. Those were my pleadings and printouts that I got from WorldNetDaily. It contained your names, names of about 350,000 that signed the petition. (there were others that have written individual letters,) . Roberts stated “I will read your documents, I will review them. Give them to my Secret Service Agent and I will review them”. His Secret Service Agent approached me and stated ” Give me all the documents, I promise you Justice Roberts will get them”. I had a full suitcase of documents. The agent went to look for a box, he found a large box to fit all the documents, he showed me his badge, and introduced himself as Gilbert Shaw, secret Service Agent assigned fto the security of Chief Justice Roberts.
Success!

I can't believe that she is willing to predicate her whole argument on the charge that “there is criminal activity going on in the Supreme Court”!

If what she says is true , What would you call it , other than criminal activity ?

LOL, I'm not talking about what she calls it. I'm talking about the fact that she has staked her credibility on a very specific claim, and if she has no facts to back it up she will make herself look very foolish.
That strikes me as a risky strategy, to say the least.

If you review the YouTube clip, it shows the truth to be far closer to what the press reported than what Orly reported.

Yes. It is soooooo likely that this man went through a bar application process using false information about his birth and citizenship.
And I'm sure that the Clintons just decided to let this go back in primary season.
No, it isn't about having an 'opinion.' It is about believing something that isn't supported by any facts. Most of the allegations about Obama's birth certificate (it doesn't have a seal, it doesn't show he was born in Hawaii, etc.) are observably false. Yet some folks seem to have a vested interest in perpetuating them.

Honestly, how stupid can you get? Obama was born in Hawaii. I realize for some of you, its just unfathomable that your country could vote for a black man with muslim roots. Instead of seeing it as a shining example of how Americans can look beyond race and creed, you hateful fringe people see it as a bad thing. Well continue your sad little fantasies…thankfully the majority of Americans are not with you and never will be.

If ever there were a person in need of a straitjacket, it would be Ms. Taitz. She makes Michelle Bachman look sane.
