Dispatches from Birtherstan - 31 January - 1 February 2012

(Original found here)

In today's dispatches, we have the deadline for the "findings of so-called fact" in the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad. And once again Dr. Orly tries to break the wing nut barrier.

Miki Booth gives her unique spin on things. World Nut Daily's "expert" Herb Titus seems to think that God is a birther. Dr. Orly shows her usual love for ethics and morals. Sharon Meroni and the aptly named Gary Kreep want to change Illinois state law.

Dr. Orly shows the same regard to legal transcripts she does to the actual law. Swiftboat liar Jerome Corsi pulls some conspiracy nuggets out of his rear. A GOP committee member in Alabama with a history of racist comments comes up with a planned birther "White" Paper. Thomas MacLeran shows a decades-long pattern of paranoia. Floyd Brown continues to give his boss a reach-around.

With the help of Zeb Blanchard, Walter Fitzpatrick goes all Sovereign Citizen on Monroe County. Larry Sinclair's attorney wants Obama off the ballot so he can win the election with 13% of the vote. And Dean Haskins continues to rile up the birthers.

27 January - We have the Miki Booth spin on the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad hearing, courtesy of Joseph Farah and GOP dirty trickster Floyd Brown's "Western Center for 'Journalism'".

"The day had its ups and downs and ins and outs and Article II, Section 1.5 Constitutionalist, also known as “birthers,” “racists,” “wing-nuts” and “fringe” were holding our collective breaths and praying like never before."

Well, at least she describes the birthers accurately.

"This time it was not a federal case as in many challenges brought by attorney Orly Taitz and others"

Ah yes. Cozy up to Dr. Orly and ignore all the other birther attorneys out there….

"About the same time I was working diligently to get the latest news out to my contacts including posting the information on Facebook, I got a comment and link to Leo Donofrio’s naturalborncitizen blog. The news was stunning. Leo was alerted to information in the government’s own INS/ICE handbook delineating a distinct difference in “natural-born citizen” and “native-born” citizen. I scrambled. Did my Birther Summit team know about this?"

YOUR Birther Summit team?? Last time we checked, you had tossed Dean Haskins and his Birther Summit under the bus for doubleplus ungood Orly badspeak. Planning to run your own Orly-friendly "summit"??

"It had been a long day and I began receiving emails from friends and supporters saying they would look for me in the live-stream video provided by The Birther Summit and Art2superPAC sites. I didn’t have the energy to tell them I wasn’t going to Atlanta. "

Awwwwwww. She missed out wetting her seat in joy over watching her heroine, Dr. Orly, in action.

"What really happened yesterday was the judge decided to award a DEFAULT JUDGEMENT to the plaintiff’s since the defendant didn’t show up. But an abbreviated hearing took place. The first two cases were heard and Orly presented her witnesses and argued her case and the evidence all went into the record. We had our day in court."

And they're still doing the victory lap even though the judge hasn't made a ruling yet.

30 January - World Nut Daily likes to cite birther "legal expert" and "constitutional scholar" Herb Titus quite a bit.

Well, Titus seems to have a couple interesting takes on Obama's eligibility….

"Titus: What’s important is to realize that being a natural born citizen is based upon the law of nature. Any natural law is based on a law of nature which is revealed by God. And the notion is that no one is accidentally born in any particular nation to any particular parent. You’re not born by accident, you’re born by design. And who’s the designer? Well, God’s the designer. So if you’re born of two parents, that is a mother and father, who are of the same citizenship, then you have been ordained by God to be a citizen of the nation of your parents. That’s why he’s a natural born citizen. So, there’s a design in this that goes all the way back to scriptural principles."

So never mind de Vattel or any such nonsense, it's the BIBLE that decrees that "Natural-Born" equals "two US citizen parents".

Funny, I must have missed that verse in my theology classes…..

"Titus: The people have a responsibility here to make sure that the Constitution is followed as it is written. I mean, if people don’t like the natural born citizen requirement, then they can amend the Constitution. I think in this particular case, it demonstrates why the natural born citizen requirement is so important, because I think this president does have a divided loyalty. I think he is more loyal to his African father than he is to the American nation, and I think that’s been well-documented."

Wow. Racist much??

31 January - Ethics? Dr. Orly? Nahhhh (malware and redirect warning)

"FROM A SUPPORTER DANIELLE
Posted on | January 31, 2012 "

Dear Dr Taizt,
I have lost faith in the judicial system. Because of you, my family have hope again. I worked as Nurse Practitioner in Cardiology. Last week end, I worked overtime to pay my bills. I told my family that $$$ will go to Dr Taizt who is fighting for our freedom and Liberty. Like you I move to this country with a chance to reach the American Dream. I worked hard (still do) and is searching for the truth. We are so lucky to have you as a citizen of this unbelievable country.
I am praying for you
Thank you.
Danielle"

Wouldn't the ethical, professional, and moral thing to do is tell "Danielle" to make sure her family's bills are taken care of *first*???

Of course we're talking Dr. Orly here, and the only thing $he care$ about i$ making that PayPal button $ing…….

Come on Cavity Creep$! Mama Orly Need$ your hard earned birther buck$!!!

31 January - World Nut Daily claims that the aptly-named Gary Kreep and Sharon Meroni are asking for a change in Illinois state law to allow them to challenge that scary black man.

"Whatever the outcome in Georgia, the issue is gaining traction in other states, too, including Alabama, Tennessee, Arizona, New Hampshire, and even Illinois, Obama’s home political base."

O RLY? New Hampshire already told the birthers "No", as did Alabama. Van Irion's case in Tennessee seems to be spinning it's wheels, and his case in Arizona suffers from improper service and a demand for "default judgement" against a political party that went defunct 112 years ago.

"There, in a complaint recently filed by Stephen F. Boulton of McCarthy Duffy LLP and Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation, their client is asking for a change in state law to allow the vetting of political candidates.

Obama isn’t even mentioned by name, but don’t think for a minute that the requested change wouldn’t include his candidacy."

"Rolls eyes" Colour me unsurprised.

"The plaintiff is Sharon Meroni, who long has fought inside the system for a way to challenge the candidacies there. In her new case, filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, she is petitioning for a judicial review of the state’s election procedures as they exist now.

Targeted are the state Board of Elections, members of the board, several county clerks and others, including candidates Dan Duffy and Amanda Howland.

Meroni, a registered voter in the 27th Legislative District in the state, said her concern is that “only candidates qualified for office under the Illinois and United States Constitutions appear on the ballot.”

Particularly if their name is Barack Hussein Obama.

"WND previously reported that cases already have been begun in New Hampshire, where state officials rejected the claims; Alabama, Tennessee and Arizona."

World Nut Daily seems to have ignored that court officials rejected the claims in Alabama as well. A bit dishonest in their reporting I see.

Then again, it's World Nut Daily. "Facts" or "journalism" don't play a part in their game.

"Van Irion, lead counsel for Liberty Legal Foundation, also is working on several of the issues, and has brought the question in court in Arizona.

“We picked the Arizona court for several reasons, but the main one being that it is part of the 9th Circuit. The 9th Circuit has indicated in dicta that an FEC-registered presidential candidate would have standing for this type of suit,” he said. The organization is working with John Dummett, a Liberty Legal Foundation member who is a candidate for the office of president in the 2012 election.

Irion said the other lawsuit was filed in state court in Tennessee.

“The focus of the state-court suit is to prevent certification to the Tennessee Secretary of State. This suit puts greater emphasis on the negligent misrepresentation/fraud aspects of a certification from the DNC. It includes more facts regarding Obama’s Indonesian dual citizenship and fraudulent Social Security Number,” he said.

He said if the cases succeed, the Democrats would not be able to list Obama as their candidate for 2012."

Well, first you would actually have to do proper service against the Democratic Party, not throw papers at a volunteer and drive off laughing, and not against the 112 years-defunct "National Democratic Party".

You know, a good lawyer would actually get the names right of the people and organizations he or she are suing.

31 January - Dr. Orly seems to have a problem understanding what exactly a legal transcript is. (malware and redirect warning)

And Dr. Orly's response to "We cannot alter the transcript now that it has been produced" ??

Dear Ms. Warren,
I will pay for an amended transcript. Please, reflect in the amended transcript this e-mail from Ms. Beal, staff attorney, stating that Judge Malihi agreed to put the exhibits in the record.
It should not take more than 5 minutes to correct the transcript and note, that all of the exhibits are in the record. Please, forward to me a PDF of the amended transcript, reflecting that Judge Malihi agreed to put the exhibits in the record. I, also, need a scan of the last page with the signature."

So she basically ignored the clerk telling her "No, we can't amend a court record to include things that didn't actually happen".

"Additionally, there is a slight error on page 43-44 I talked about “letters Rogatory”, in the transcript it says interrogatory. The correct word is “rogatory.” (it means letters asking for assistance of a court of another jurisdiction, it is not an interrogatory)
I, also, noticed one small issue. Posibly things are done differently in CA and in GA.
On several occasions I was telling the tech assistant, who was operating the projector, to move the image higher, lower and stop. Usually it is not part of the record or there is a notation:
- to the projector operator: higher, lower, stop
- to the witness:
This way people understand, what is going on. In the transcript it was all together and people get confused. Can you please separate those."

So in other words; "never mind what actually happened at the "trial", please change the court transcript so that I don't look like the complete and total incompetent idiot I was. Oh, and make sure the altered transcript states I gave the judge all the evidence I forgot to that day. Do it now or I'll call you an unconstitutional traitor and tell my cavity creeps to harass you. Thanks!"

"As I stated, I will pay again. It is a historic trial, I want to make sure everything is 100% correct, that there are no errors anywhere.
Sincerely
Dr. Orly Taitz, ESQ"

It might help to remember it was a HEARING, and not a "trial".

Dolt.

31 January - Dr. Orly claims another great victory (malware and redirect warning)

"JUDGE MALIHI GAVE ME A LEAVE OF COURT TO PETITION THE SUPERIOR COURT FOR LETTERS ROGATORY TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF HI SEEKING LOCAL SUBPOENA FOR OBAMA’S ORIGINAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE IN LIEU OF THE ALLEGED COPY ATTACHED TO 01.25.2012 LETTER FROM JABLONSKI
Posted on | January 31, 2012"

What did the judge actually say??

"Reply |Kim Beal (redacted) to me, michael.jablon.
show details 6:34 AM (53 minutes ago)
Judge Malihi instructed that you should feel free to petition the Superior Court, if you so choose."

In other words "we can't stop you, so sure, fine, whatever floats your twinkie."

31 January - On conspiracy nutcase Alex Jones' radio show, swift boat liar Jerome Corsi claims that the reason why no records of Obama being born in Kenya is because the Kenyan government has hidden those records.

I suspect this is the birther version of "the dog ate my homework".

31 January - Looks like some people in Alabama are still upset that the scary black man is in the WHITE House. In this case, Hugh McInnish, member of the Madison County GOP Executive Committee.

"For the last several months I have been working on a white paper presenting the evidence that Mr. Obamas so-called birth certificate is a forgery. I have completed this paper and it contains some 30 pages of text and exhibits. I and my colleague Dean Johnson, who is a lawyer, will present it in a press conference on the steps of the Alabama Capitol in Montgomery on Thursday, February 2 at 1:30. The public is, of course, invited, and if you are patriotically inclined please join us. Signs are invited (but please leave your AK47s at home in the closet.)"

What about domestic firearms??

"Many attempts have been made to get the Birthers case laid before the courts, but in ever instance the courts have wimped out and found an excuse not to examine the case on its merits. But now that has happened. And assuming a ruling against Obama, expected in about a week, there may be widespread repercussions.

For one thing, we Birthers can take off our tin hats and wear them as an iconic badges of honor. "

Well, at least he admits to wearing tinfoil hats.

"For another, it should encourage similar actions in the other states, all 49 of themor did I get that right?"

Like a "no" would stop a birther anyway??

"In my white paper I will present what I believe is conclusive evidence that the Obama birth certificate is a forgery and Obama himself a forgetter. Do you realize what that would mean? Just think of it! It would mean that the most powerful nation in the world is under the direction of a felon. It might mean, as some legal expert contend, that all of his executive actions are null and void."

So I wonder how much of his "white paper" is simply stuff copy and pasted from Dr. Orly and other birthers???

McInnish has a past history of saying things like:

""Blacks misbehave on average more frequently than whites do," McInnish said. "(Brown) hasn't shown any evidence to the contrary."

McInnish went so far as to include in his letter a chart that purports to show the "black crime rate as (a) multiple of (the) white crime rate." The chart indicates that black people commit more than six times the violent crime of white people overall; it has them committing about eight times as many murders as white people and more than 14 times as many robberies.

The data he uses, however, comes from New Century Foundation, an organization that the Southern Poverty Law Center cites as playing a leading role in the world of "academic racism.""

And

"McInnish also argued Tuesday that the gap between white and black students' participation in advanced courses is not because black students are not afforded the chance, as alleged in the Justice Department letter.

Instead, he said, the gap exists because black students are not able to perform as well in advanced classes."

Or this:

"And this brings us back to the question of why the Republicans don't pick up the silver bullet, load and fire it. Doing so would stop Mr. Obama in his reacts, deal the Democrat Party a serious blow, and save our country from socialism."

He also wrote a book defending Arthur Rudolph, a former NASA rocket engineer brought over from Germany after World War II though Operation Paperclip, and later stripped of US citizenship and deported after it was found he was involved in using slave labour from the Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp.

31 January - Showing a level of reading comprehension unusually poor even for birthers, World Nut Daily spins the court telling Dr. Orly "fine, file what you want" into it's somehow a green light to give Dr. Orly permission to look at anything she wants.

"Now California attorney Orly Taitz, who has brought a number of major legal challenges to Obama’s eligibility in various courts up to the U.S. Supreme Court, has told WND that when Obama and his lawyer wrote a letter to Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp last week refusing to attend the hearing on Obama’s eligibility status, they included a copy of the image that the White House released last April.

They also sent a copy to the court of Judge Michael Malihi, the hearing officer, whose ruling is expected to be made available in the next few days.

That act, Taitz explained, effectively gave the court a copy of the White House documentation, and under ordinary rules of evidence the opposing side is supposed to have access to the original to verify the authenticity of the purported copy.

“They submitted a copy and said this is a copy of the original birth certificate. Now the other party has a right to examine the original,” she said."

Yes, the original certified copy, not a treasure hunt to harass Hawaiian State Officials. Again.

1 February - Sometimes Thomas MacLeran is simply pathetic.

"When I was a little tyke, eight and a half, I remember my first Cub Scout Jamboree when I was looking forward to my first night away from home and my first night in a sleeping bag. Very exciting, and I wanted everything to go as smoothly as possible. So when I was checking my equipment the night before, I noticed an annoying tag on the outside of my rolled-up sleeping bag, or in today’s PC jargon, REM inducer unit, that proclaimed the removal of the tag was “Punishable by Law.” My brother said, “You better not! You’ll get in trouble!” at which point I ripped the tag off and waited for the retribution. And I waited. After around five minutes I figured the authorities planned to ambush me when my guard was down, but I never let my guard down, and here it is, 50+ years later, and I can testify that if you never let your guard down, it’ll be okay."

So you're saying you've been paranoid and waiting for retribution for over 50 years?? Wow. That's a long time to be paranoid.

"Then there are some things that can be corrected, and often times should be. An example is having an unqualified employee in a job slot. Maybe this employee lied on his application, and, upon further examination, it was discovered that he or she had a history of identity theft: using multiple aliases with accompanying addresses and Social Security numbers. Maybe this employee was given a position of policy-making decisions that had a demonstrably adverse effect on the economic health and safety requirements of the enterprise that was affected. What to do? It’s called a “No-brainer.” You fire the lying employee, in this case the person who calls himself “Obama,” and eliminate and reverse every decision, regulation and law that was enacted while he was in office."

Ah yes, the magic reset button. What he doesn't mention is "what if the employee is being harassed and lies told about him by a group of people who either wanted someone else in that position, or objects to the race of that employee. What when??"

1 February - It looks like John Sampson is another "I'm not a birther, but…." birther.

"I thought a birther was someone who doesn't believe Obama is a citizen. That's what Sampson is saying when he testifies that he doesn't know if the President is a citizen. Same thing. A birther.

I mean, the entire birther movement is about not being satisfied with the citizenship documentation provided by Obama. Where's the birth certificate?

That's exactly what Sampson is saying."

Turns out John Sampson is also a GOP candidate for Colorado State Senate. So let's see. Of that hearing in Georgia, we have:

A GOP State Representative representing a GOP county chairman, and a failed GOP candidate for California Secretary of State and future GOP candidate for US Senate using a GOP candidate for State Senate as a witness.

I detect a theme here.....

1 February - GOP Dirty trickster Floyd Brown gives his boss, Joseph Farah, a reach around after Farah's recent appearance on Sean Hannity's show.

"I always admire the courage of our founder and the CEO of WND.com, Joseph Farah."

Try a little harder Floyd, your nose isn't brown enough and Farah's butt isn't tongue -buffed to a high-enough sheen.

"He walked right into FOXNEWS and questioned the eligibility of Senator Marco Rubio to be VP."

The funny thing is they post the video.

And it shows that Farah got completely blown off by Hannity and everyone else on the panel.

1 February - From the Greybar Hotel law offices, Walter Fitzpatrick files a lawsuit in US District Court against the Monroe County sheriff and the State of Tennessee "a corporate entity, alter ego of the BANK and the FUND the real parties in interest.". It was filed for Fitzpatrick by old time birther and militia member Zeb Blanchard.

I'm getting a whiff of Sovereign Citizen here.

(Scribd link here)

(Scribd link to exhibits here)

The case itself is 105 pages. Most of this is nothing more than pure, uncut, 100% crystal sovereign citizen crapola.

Wow. Fitzpatrick has gone SovCit on us. That's a surprise.....well, no, no it's not.

The exhibits are another 196 pages. Including the classics, like Exhibit #13 (Fitzpatrick's original nastygram to Obama), #14 (his October 2009 nastygram about Obama to the FBI), and #29 (his announcing his extent to perform a citizens arrest on just about everyone in the courthouse.

And the SovCit stuff in the exhibits starts off with the very first paragraph. In fact, the first 91 pages of the "exhibits" are nothing more than Blanchard mumbling SovCit incantations at the court.

"I, MJ Blanchard, a free man, on the land, a follower of Yahshua the Messiah in the laws of The Almighty Supreme Creator, fIrst and foremost and the laws of man when they are not in conflict (Leviticus 18:3,4). Pursuant to Matthew 5:33-37 and James 5:1 let my yea be yea, and my nay be nay, as supported by your Federal Public Law 97-280 96 Stat. 1211."

And later:

"42) Affiant is not aware of and has not seen any competent documentary evidence from a competent witness with firsthand knowledge, establishing that subject matter jurisdiction in Walt Fitzpatrick Ill's Incorporated Cases 10-213 and 11-018 is present pursuant to USC 40 § 255 territorial jurisdiction and other reasons stated more fully herein. Walter Fitzpatrick III and his next friend named herein are one of the Sovereign people of Tennessee who's status is defined in Chisolm v. Georgia and 2 Corinthians 5:20 and are not a legal fiction, US INC. vessels, in rem constructive trust, corporate entity or any other artificially constructed fraudulent construct as denoted by the unauthorized spelling of affiant's family name and Walt Fitzpatrick Ill's family name in all capital letters as spelled on State Identification paperwork without explanation. Affiant and Walter Fitzpatrick III reserves all rights in law and equity /commerce and wishes to compel production of documentation specific to the establishment of the jurisdiction of the agent, principal and or agency and agents causing the incarceration of Walter Fitzpatrick III and ascertain the evidence of any constitutionally compliant oath of office, proof of bonding and delegation of authority for or on the record in their possession before a neutral notary officer to verify identity of anyone responding to this writ and representing himself or herself as a government officer or agent prior to the commencement of any proceeding challenging the claims on this writ to avoid implications of "de facto officer doctrine".

Oy Freaking Vey.

"70) It is readily apparent that unregistered foreign agents assume they can arbitrarily and capriciously determine the value of another living soul's time. However, when the matter involves Walter Fitzpatrick III, the unregistered foreign agents have no concept of what the actual value is. Indeed, all the resources of all the unregistered foreign agents in MONROE COUNTY and the STATE OF TENNESSE could not purchase a single nanosecond from Our Heavenly Father. Therefore they need to reconsider their actions and make restitution."

And

"74) Is the "WORD OF GOD" adequate for MONROE COUNTY and STATE OF TENNESSE employees OR would the employees make a public declaration that they know better than GOD ALMIGHTY!!?? Forgiveness is available where there is repentance, therefore affiant is praying for the employees because God's Law is just like gravity, it works whether you believe in it or not!!"

And

"106) The return to Walter Fitzpatrick III of any and all fingerprints, photographs, and information sheets and/or data storage to expunge the record of this travesty, and 100 dollars U.S. per fingerprint card, photograph, or information sheet, per party, per day until ALL his property is returned to him ."

Bonus - Exhibit A is what he read to the court before he got up and tried to leave.

Exhibit #4 is a "Notice regarding default I dishonor regarding matter of Habeas Corpus filed by MJ Blanchard into the Monroe County Court Record regarding cause fi Ie # 11366 Notice and demand to cure default/dishonor by ordering the immediate and unconditional release of Walter Fitzpatrick III and vacate cases # 11-018 and 10-213 and void all judgments against him" by one "Michael Lerman, C/O Office of the Republic Citizens' Ombudsman", and sent to the Chief Justice of the Tennessee Supreme Court.

"Walter Fitzpatrick III, a Retired Commissioned Officer, was under lawful duty when he discovered our nation is being subverted by hostile subversives and was in pursuant of these Domestic Enemies when he was unlawfully obstructed from carrying out that lawful duty by the grand jury foreman and others. During this process fraud by grand jury foreman and others was exposed. Our nation is under extreme duress and harm from enemies abroad and from domestic enemies within and if they are allowed to carry out to completion their war plan because of your obstruction of Walter Fitzpatrick III's investigation you and those that aided and abetted this obstruction will be held fully liable.

You have three days from receipt of this notice to obey the law and order the immediate release of Lt. Cdr. Walter Fitzpatrick III (U.S. Navy, Ret) and notice myself and my office, ℅ of the notary acceptor who sealed this correspondence. on behaliofWalter Fitzpatrict III and myself that you have done so "

There is so much wankery in this document it's amazing Blanchard didn't grow hair on his palms.

1 February - Larry Sinclair's attorney files a "first amended complaint"

(PDF here)

He's still operating under the delusion he can win the presidency with 13% of the popular vote, but he demands, as a candidate, that Obama be removed from the ballot.

Oooookay.

1 February - Today is the deadline for all parties in last week's Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad hearing to submit their proposed findings of fact and law.

And first out the door is Dr. Orly. Who manages to misspell her own name on the first page. Most of it is standard Orly blather, but with a few gems.

(Scribd link here)

"Plaintiffs seek their attorneys’ fees and costs. Plaintiffs also assert that evidence of criminality as well as contempt of court and rule of law exhibited by the defendant, Obama, is so egregious that it warrants forwarding of the evidence and findings of this court to the Attorney General of Georgia for criminal prosecution of Obama for elections fraud, uttering of forged and altered documents, Obstruction of Justice and Social Security fraud. Additionally, the evidence submitted to this court warrants forwarding to the immigration and deportation services of the Department of Homeland Security for criminal prosecution; as well as to the U.S. Congress for impeachment for High Crimes and Misdemeanors committed by Defendant, Obama. Furthermore, Defendant and his attorney should be held in contempt of court and properly sanctioned for failure to comply with the subpoena duly issued and served on the defendant by the Plaintiffs counsel, Orly Taitz. Aforementioned subpoena was found to be valid when this court denied Defendant's motion to quash the subpoena and Defendant was obligated to appear in court and provide certified copies of his identification records. Obama and his attorney, member of Georgia bar Michael Jablonski, are in contempt of court, as they failed to appear and did not produce any documents attesting to Obama's eligibility."

And a pony??

"Defendant did not produce any evidence, any documents verifying his birth. The only thing he is relying on, is that on April 27, 2011 he posted a computer image on line and claimed that this computer image is a true and correct copy of his birth certificate, issued in 1961. He posted this image on mugs and T-shirts and sells them for $25 apiece, claiming it to be a verification of his eligibility. It is possible, that an image on a mug constitutes a prima facia evidence in Mombasa, Kenya, maybe an image on a T-shirt represents a competent, admissible evidence in Jakarta, Indonesia, however in the United States of America, where we hopefully retained a rule of law, an image on mugs and T-shirts represents neither prima facia evidence, nor competent, admissible evidence. The only thing it represents, is complete disrespect of law and of 311 million American citizens."

Well, yes, if Obama had actually entered a mug or t-shirt as proof. Since he didn't…

She really does seem to believe those shirts and mugs are a direct slap at her personally, rather than birthers in general.

"The evidence, produced by the Plaintiffs, is so incriminating, that it warrants not only removal of Obama from the ballot, it warrants his criminal prosecution. Watergate pales in comparison to Obama's culpability."

You just have to ignore the slight little fact absolutely none of it is credible.

"Witness Linda Jordan testified that on August 17, 2011 she personally ran Obama's E-Verify."

Did Linda Jordan note the little fact she broke the law in doing so??

"Defendant's behavior shows guilty mind. Defendant had an opportunity to appear in court and provide certified copies of his vital records. He chose not to show up and not to produce any records. An inference can be made, that he does not possess any valid records, which would explain his behavior."

Or, for those in the reality-based community, he didn't consider an invalid "subpoena" worth the hassle.

"There is a pattern of behavior by the defendant, showing attempts to obstruct justice, submit forged or fraudulently obtained documents, hide his prior identity under the named Soetoro and Soebarkah"

This coming from the woman who has routinely submitted forged and fraudulently obtained evidence in her court cases.

"5.Due to Defendant's failure to comply with a duly issued subpoena court issues an order to show cause, why Defendant and his attorney should not be sanctioned for contempt of court."

Are you going to ask for one against Sheriff Joe Arpaio as well??

1 February - Next up, Van Irion

(Scribd link here)
(Scribd link to motion for contempt here)

What's interesting to note is that he repeats the Neo-Confederate / white nationalist claim that 14th Amendment citizenship isn't the same a "Natural Born".

And I'm a bit puzzled as to why he would be asking for a motion of contempt against Obama when it was Dr. Orly who filed the invalid subpoena in the first place. Is he going to ask for one against Arpaio as well??

1 February - And finally, Hatfield.

(Scribd link here)

Hatfield is upset that Obama ignored his "You better show me your papers, BOY" notice to appear.

(Scribd link to motion for contempt here)

At least this one isn't trying to ride Dr. Orly's coattails.

1 February - Dean Haskins asks the question to his fellow birthers "why are we still such gullible fools".

I will pause a moment to savor the irony.

(Bold face mine)

"Where the law concerning birth certificates from the State of Hawaii are concerned, it is certainly disheartening to see so many people within our movement play the part of utter dunderheads. Because we so want to believe that there is some legal maneuver that will grant an attorney license to walk into the Department of Health in Honolulu and inspect whatever may or may not exist pertaining to Barack Obama, we are easy prey for the deceptive legal claptrap of a narcissistic attorney, and the online sources that echo those snake-oil sales pitches."

You mean like Duncan Sunahara??

"Furthermore, a photocopy of the certified copy being sent to a judge in Georgia does not produce a legally valid reason for inspection of an original possessed by Hawaii. At most, the Georgia judge could request to see the certified copy from which the photocopy was made. Legally, that would be the extent of the judge's authority."

If you're expecting your fellow birthers to be dazzled by the blindingly obvious, forget it. Their eyes have been closed to the facts for a while now.

"Article IV of the Constitution (the Full Faith & Credit Clause) requires every state to consider documents certified as valid from every other state to be valid. In regards to birth certificates, a certified copy (with raised seal) must be viewed as equal in authority and validity as the original."

Gee, I've only been telling the birthers that for over three years now.

"If everyone in our movement could at least act like he comprehends these very simple laws, we might actually make some progress toward resolution."

Doubtful.

"As long as we continue to behave like moths drawn to a counterfeit light of deceptive lunacy, we will all be viewed as nut whacks by association"

Too late.

"As much as we all might wish that someone could walk into the Department of Health and be given access to inspect whatever documents may exist there, it would plainly be against the law for the DOH to allow such access."

See above comment about Duncan Sunahara.

"Not until we have a brilliant attorney who can construct an argument against the Department of Health in Hawaii that, somehow, would allow that access within the law, will that ever happen. So far, such an argument has not even remotely been made."

Case in point, Sunahara v Fuddy.

Haskins is really starting to cheese off his fellow birthers.

Orly was lawyer and witness in Georgia and now she wants to be the court reporter as well.

"1 February - Sometimes Thomas MacLeran is simply pathetic.

"When I was a little tyke, eight and a half, I remember my first Cub Scout Jamboree when I was looking forward to my first night away from home and my first night in a sleeping bag. Very exciting, and I wanted everything to go as smoothly as possible.""

Reads like a Penthouse letter to NAMBLA. That's not so much pathetic as it is down right creepy, IMHO. Not an accusation, just an observation. Creepy. *shudders*

As far as I'm concerned Haskins is a sleaze ball, he harassed an 80 yr old mother on her dead infant daughter. He (and Orly too) Insisted he will find evidence of Obama stealing little Virginia’s ID and BC,then he found that Obama is not named Virgina Sunahara , that was a bummer. All he did is prove Virginia was born on the same day, in a different city, a different hospital with a different BC number. That’s his great case! Idiot!

I guess McLaren was never told that it's the mattress dealer who's forbidden to remove the tag, not the purchaser. Or, like his other paranoid delusions, he was told but he refused to believe it.

Estiveo, I agree that MacLeran's missive about his Cub Scout days is extremely creepy, not to mention dumber than a bag of hammers. On another front, upon seeing Swift Boat Liar Corsi's bloated mug yammering away on video with the same old long-debunked birther memes, my first, and natural reaction was intense revulsion, but the second was that this guy is nothing more than a clown at this point. He has thrown everything at the wall, nothing has stuck, and now he's just going through the motions. Sad, sad clown.

"Case in point, Sunahara v Fuddy." Agreed.

Although I continue to applaud the more sensible writings of Dean as of late, the sheer irony of his "sensible" words in light of everything he has done leading into "Sunahara v Fuddy" is overwhelming. One of these days, he seriously needs to look in the mirror and get a clue...

ALSO, re: Walt Fitzpatrick... egads! What a steaming pile of SovCit Crazy that was!

I don't get how the SovCit movement has "survived" as long as it has on the legal circuit. I can't imagine that any of their crazy talk ever flies in any real court...

Further, this wasn't just standard SovCit nuttery in Walt's latest filing - it blends all sorts of extreme theocratic fundamentalist claptrap into the mix.

I find it so utterly ironic that these delusional folks can't see that they have more in common with the Taliban than they do with American principles and the Constitution that they proclaim to worship...

Add one to the list of GOPers at the hearing in Georgia. In 2010 Irion ran for congress in Tennessee as a ... Republican!

You know, a good lawyer would actually get the names right of the people and organizations he or she are suing.

Yes, but a good lawyer wouldn't get within a country mile of a case like this.

[democratista]

So...the President's counsel ignores the case and it's because he has no proof, but for three years it's been "He spent $2 million dollars to obstruct us from finding out the truth" (which also is untrue). Why is it I'm not surprised that NO MATTER WHAT...the actions of our dear President and/or his counsel are construed to mean he's lying. Sheesh...

[ScottRS]

I'm sure y'all will see it soon, but Judge Malihi ruled in favor of the defendants. So, that's Empty Chair 1, Orly 0.

Tomorrow's White House Press Release Today:

I WON!!! I WON!!! I WON!!! JUDGE MALIHI RULED IN MY FAVOR

[Jayray]

Orly is already claiming that Obama "got to the judge", and all the comments are end of the world type of stuff. It is funny and sad at the same time.
