Orly Taitz, the queen of the Birthers, loses yet again


Orly Taitz might want to think about getting, you know, a life.

On Thursday, this queen of the Birthers lost yet again in her bid to challenge President Barack Obama's legitimacy. In an eight-page decision, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth rejected Taitz's extreme long-shot of a second request for reconsideration of an earlier opinion.

In other words: Taitz lost her initial claim, asked for it to be reconsidered, lost that, asked for the reconsideration to be reconsidered, and then lost that. For a flavor of Taitz's claims, consider her assertion that the president is using a stolen Social Security number to disguise his true identity. She further says she has evidence that Obama has used "an additional last name."

And, she says, the fact that she has been slapped with a $20,000 sanction for filing frivolous claims is actually proof that she has the legal standing to bring such claims. You see, the only reason a judge thought Taitz's claims were frivolous was that Obama had falsely denied them, thereby causing Taitz harm.

"In her second motion for reconsideration, plaintiff adds nothing but further allegations of the President’s ineligibility for office. She offers no new factual or legal argument meriting reconsideration," Judge Lamberth wrote, with commendable restraint.

1. Is she still doing her thing?
I thought she had given up or something.

In my opinion, either she's somehow making money off of this, or she has mental health issues.

2. Make her the Ambassador to Kenya.
She can do all of her research while she's there.

And be out of everyones hair.

If not Kenya, maybe say, Antarctica.

3. Has she paid the fine?

6. I'm sure that when she gets this resolved
She'll immediately begin working to have Grampy McCain removed from the Senate, since he wasn't born in "the states".

:sarcasm:

8. ... Plaintiff contests the dismissal of her complaint for lack of standing, asserting that new
evidence now gives her standing. First, plaintiff presents a letter from the Department of Justice regarding her $20,000 sanction for frivolous filings in a separate suit challenging the President’s eligibility for office. Plaintiff contends that this sanction is evidence of injury resulting from “fraud committed by Obama, which caused Judge Land to believe that Taitz’s action of doubting Obama was frivolous” ... Plaintiff’s sanction does not constitute new evidence under Rule 60(b)(2). Judge Land imposed a Rule 11 sanction on plaintiff on October 13, 2009 ... Plaintiff filed her first amended complaint with this Court on March 22, 2010. Plaintiff cannot now use her Rule 60(b) motion to allege facts known to her at the time she filed her amended complaint ... There is no causal connection between plaintiff’s sanction for frivolous filings and the President’s alleged conduct, nor can this Court redress the alleged injury by vacating another court’s sanction ...

... Plaintiff points to this Court’s recent decision in Agudas Chasidei Chabad of United States v. Russian Federation ... as a “new legal finding” that supports the Court’s jurisdiction in the instant action. Chabad involved a default judgment under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act and simply has nothing to do with plaintiff’s claims ...

9. Orly! Nearly forgot all about her during the Palin media monopoly.
Good to see she's still fighting her crazy fight.

11. This chick's still around?
I thought she'd fallen into a meat grinder and died long ago.
