Orly Taitz Fights On


You can say many things about Birther Orly Taitz, but she is not a quitter.

In October Judge David Carter threw out a lawsuit by Taitz and others challenging the right of President Obama to issue orders to military personnel.

In his ruling Carter was scathing of Taitz:
This Court exercised extreme patience when Taitz endangered this case being heard at all by failing to properly file and serve the complaint upon Defendants and held multiple hearings to ensure that the case would not be dismissed on the technicality of failure to effect service. While the original complaint in this matter was filed on January 20, 2009, Defendants were not properly served until August 25, 2009. Taitz successfully served Defendants only after the Court intervened on several occasions and requested that defense counsel make significant accommodations for her to effect service. Taitz also continually refused to comply with court rules and procedure. Taitz even asked this Court to recuse Magistrate Judge Arthur Nakazato on the basis that he required her to comply with the Local Rules... Taitz also attempted to dismiss two of her clients against their wishes because she did not want to work with their new counsel...


Taitz encouraged her supporters to contact this Court, both via letters and phone calls. It was improper and unethical for her as an attorney to encourage her supporters to attempt to influence this Court’s decision. Despite these attempts to manipulate this Court, the Court has not considered any outside pleas to influence the Court’s decision.

Additionally, the Court has received several sworn affidavits that Taitz asked potential witnesses that she planned to call before this Court to perjure themselves. This Court is deeply concerned that Taitz may have suborned perjury through witnesses she intended to bring before this Court.

While the Court seeks to ensure that all interested parties have had the opportunity to be heard, the Court cannot condone the conduct of Plaintiffs’ counsel in her efforts to influence this Court.
The allegation of suborning perjury hasn't gone down well with Taitz. So on 2 December she filed a motion requesting that Judge Carter investigate the misconduct of others involved in the proceedings.

In that document she accuses other of perjury, and makes further allegations about the alleged Kenyan birth of Obama and his possible Communist indoctrination.

On top of that she says she has been the subject of regular death threats, and implies that Obama and his attorney general Eric Holder are either behind those threats or are deliberately ordering the FBI and police not to investigate them.

The attachments to Taitz's application are dazzlingly random at best, and appear mostly to be bits and pieces she found on the Internet.

The application is a masterpiece in incoherent rambling, and a textbook example of how not to plead a case.

She will fail, inevitably.
