In reply to the discussion: Orly Taitz Orders Prosecution of Everyone Who Disagrees With Her [View all]Lasher
(29,580 posts)46. She and other birthers want to be Ken Starr
Orly wants a court to grant her the right of discovery. She believes such a privilege could be exploited to pursue a perpetual witch hunt against Obama. Consider this quote by Joseph Farah, the founder and editor-in-chief of World Net Daily:
"It'll (birther conspiracy theories) plague Obama throughout his presidency. It'll be a nagging issue and a sore on his administration, much like Monica Lewinsky was on Bill Clinton's presidency," and, "It's not going to go away, and it will drive a wedge in an already divided public."

World Net Daily is a conservative blog where birthers' fantasies have long been promoted.
The Republican investigations against the Clinton Administration lasted 12 years.

For a time Orly used disbarred attorney Charles Lincoln III as a legal assistant.

It must be very taxing for her- being the only sane one in a world full of Obama conspircies...

Wouldn't one first be required to have a brain in order to have a brain tumor?

I think you have a point, or maybe it's just intense hatred that's made her this crazy.

Such wanton abuse of the common comma. Has she been reading Jane Austen?

There have been rumors in the past but as far as I know she has never been investigated by the bar.

One does not need to be an expert to recognize that Orly is a certifiable lunatic
