Court to Orly Taitz: Pay Your $20,000 Sanction
Monday, March 15, 2010 at 5:33 pm
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals affirms, as expected, the decision of a lower court to fine birther lawyer Orly Taitz $20,000 for her conduct in a lawsuit on behalf of Capt. Connie Rhodes.
“We have fully considered Taitz’s arguments,” the court finds. “We find them unpersuasive and therefore affirm the district court’s sanctions judgment.”
Taitz is currently a candidate for the GOP nomination for secretary of state in California.

I love this country!!!
Orly will explode, not just because she lost, but because the 11th Circuit gives her the back of its hand in — count them — eight lines of text, six of which are devoted to describing Orly's appeal. That is how a busy appellate court deals with teh crazy.
Epic fail. One for the ages.
(Barely) shorter 11th Circuit: “See Orly. See Orly pay. Pay, Orly, Pay.”

Bwwwwwwhahahahahaha! Guess signing her fellow Taft Law Skool alum, Jonathan Harris Levy, didn't help much. I hope his is as embarrassed by this as he should be, but I suspect they will file a Motion to Recuse the 11th Circuit panel now for treason.
Comment posted March 15, 2010 @ 11:36 pm
Actually, this decision goes a considerable way down the path to declaring Taitz a “vexatious litigant” who is “venue shopping”. It's unlikely that any judge will be patient with her in the future if those labels tend to stick.

I suppose we're seeing the beginning of the end for Orly Taintz (no, that's NOT a typo).
Her “quest” is fizzling and the followers can't accept that they have no more vig in regards to the Constitution. Everyone else has accepted that Obama is legally elected as President, including the courts, but hey, the Moldavian Shrew won't stop there. To her own personal and “professional” peril.
I wonder what's next. She keeps pulling ridiculous nonsense out of her a**, and gets stomped for it. Repeatedly. Her followers are still stuck on the 14th Amendment. Good try, folks, but it's done. If orly had more than a degree you can get for sending in cereal boxtops and a couple of bucks, it might have been different, but the damage has been done. By her own hand, no less.
But look at it this way, “UFO Hunters” is still looking for grays……

It's hard to tell if she wants to file RICO against the bloggers or against the people that comment.

What did she file with the Supreme Court, and when? And how did she manage to file 144 pages? The Supreme Court's rules include limits on the number of words in filings. Let's just say that 144 pages would be in excess of the limits.

Cuccinelli backs off birther statements
By Eric Zimmermann – 03/15/10 05:17 PM ET
Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R) issued a statement this afternoon clarifying remarks he made describing how to legally challenge President Obama's citizenship.
This morning, audio surfaced of Cuccinelli telling a supporter how to successfully take Obama to court on the issue, but Cuccinelli now says he's confident Obama is a citizen.
“I absolutely believe that President Obama was born in the United States,” he said in a statement. I don't buy into the claims that he wasn't. On the recording, I was asked a hypothetical legal question, and I gave a hypothetical legal answer in response…As I said previously, this issue was not a part of my campaign, and it is not part of what I am doing now as attorney general.”
The Virginia Republican had been quoted telling a supporter how to successfully challenge Obama's legitimacy to be president.
“It will get tested in my view when someone–when [Obama] signs a law, and someone is convicted of violating it and one of their defenses will be it is not a law because someone qualified to be President didn’t sign it,” Cuccinelli said.
He even suggested it was “not beyond the realm of possibility” that someone could provide proof that Obama was born in Kenya.

It is more than obvious, at this point, that the overwhelming majority of? Americans are operating/proceeding under the impression that a 'natural born citizen' of the United States is one who simply may have entered the world, by happenstance, on this nation's soil. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, the? American? Revolution was carried out, in an effort to shed such feudalistic, tyrannical, 'barbaric' & regressive notions.
Being born within the territorial limits may be part of the equation but it is secondary. Of primacy, is the issue- TO WHOM- an individual in question was born. This is the Law of Nature The very foundation upon which the American “experiment” was constructed.

Totally wrong. Under the U.S. Constitution, any child born in this country is a citizens of the country by birthright (i.e. natural born). Thus a child born in a shotgun shack in a migrant camp at a California avocado orchard to two illegal aliens has just as much right to grow up to be president as does a white, anglo child born in Salem Massachusetts to parents who can trace their ancestry back to the pilgrims.

Well, since everyone who was a citizen of the colonies at that time, (i.e. a former british subject) was automaticly an American citizen at the adoption of the concstituiton, every baby born was then an American citizen. (excluding, of course, all nonwhites, which is the criteria that tom wants to go back to).

“II. The fundamental principle of the common law with regard to English nationality was birth within the allegiance, also called “ligealty,” “obedience,” “faith,” or “power” of the King. The principle embraced all persons born within the King's allegiance and subject to his protection. Such allegiance and protection were mutual — as expressed in the maxim protectio trahit subjectionem, et subjectio protectionem — and were not restricted to natural-born subjects and naturalized subjects, or to those who had taken an oath of allegiance, but were predicable of aliens in amity so long as they were within the kingdom. Children, born in England, of such aliens were therefore natural-born subjects. But the children, born within the realm, of foreign ambassadors, or the children of alien enemies, born during and within their hostile occupation of part of the King's dominions, were not natural-born subjects because not born within the allegiance, the obedience, or the power, or, as would be said at this day, within the jurisdiction, of the King.”
US vs. Wong Kim Ark 1898
So, there you see how the court views allegiance. Glad to clear that up for you.

Treating all people born in this country as citizens is not barbaric. It is enlightened and far-seeing, and has created a nation with a vibrant and diverse population of citizens from whom we can draw our leadership.
What's barbaric is demanding some kind of pedigree of the children born in the United States, as if people were poodles. The idea that this agricutural view of human beings would represent some kind of advance in civilization is ridiculous on its face.
But that's the whole birther movement: ridiculous on its face.

I think that might be difficult; she would first have to gain access to the logs of all these “Marxist garbage” blogs, assuming the logs exist. But then how to tie each IP to a person? Many people use broadband services with dynamically assigned IPs, and the user behind an IP is going to require further legal saber-rattling at companies like Verizon and AOL Time-Warner.
It isn't inconceivable that Verizon would dump their customer's identities at the threat of a lawsuit, but they tend to buckle under pressure from huge entities like the recording and motion picture industries, who have arguable legal justifications for acquiring that information. They're probably not going to hand it to some crazy lady who wants to sue the Internet for laughing at her.

You have no idea what you are talking about.
The law of citizenship in the United States has always been based on English common law. We did not “shed” all of that with the Revolution. If you had any knowledge of history, language and law, you would know how much we took directly from England:
(1) Obviously, we kept the English language (not French, the language of de Vattel, the Swiss writer birfers seem to love but know nothing about).
(2) We kept the English laws of property, trusts, and inheritance, including some truly arcane rules, such as “the rule in Shelley's case,” a case decided in an English court in 1581, and the “rule against perpetuities.” When we talk about “owning fee title” to land, we are using English common law.
(2) We kept the English common law of torts. Ever wanted to sue someone for “trespass” on your property? Ever been in a car accident, and sued or been sued for “negligence”? Those are tort law concepts we inherited from Britain.
(3) We kept the English rules of citizenship. Read, if you can, the majority opinion in United States v. Wong Kim Ark. It explains quite nicely how our rules of citizenship are based on the common law of Britain. It also explains that the term “natural born citizen” simply adapts (for a republic) the term “natural born subject” used in Great Britain and the colonies, and which simply meant a person born within the dominion of the King, regardless of the citizenship of that person's parents (with two exceptions — children born to foreign ambassadors, and children born to foreign occupiers, both of which owed their allegiance to a different sovereign).

In my opinion this is what the small portions of the republican party of “birthers, baggers and blowhards” have brought you. They are good at “Follow the Leader” of their dullard leaders, they listen to Beck, Hedgecock, Hannity, O’Reilly, Rush and Savage and the rest of the Blowhards. Are you surprise at what they do when you know what they think? The world is complicated and most republicans (Hamiliton, Lincoln, Roosevelt) believe that we should use government a little to increase social mobility, now its about dancing around the claim of government is the problem. Although most republicans are trying to distant themselves from this fringe they have a long way to go. And as they said in WACO “We Ain’t Coming Out”.
