Supreme Court upholds 'birther' sanction (Alito & Thomas okay fine of Taitz)
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 08/16/2010

Posted on 08/16/2010 9:34:44 AM PDT by LonelyCon

The Supreme Court has upheld a $20,000 fine against a leader of the movement challenging President Barack Obama's citizenship.

The high court on Monday refused to block a federal judge's October 2009 ruling that required California lawyer and dentist Orly Taitz to pay the $20,000 fine for filing a "frivolous" litigation. The judge said Taitz attempted to misuse the federal courts to push a political agenda.

Taitz sued in Georgia federal court on behalf of Army Capt. Connie Rhodes. Rhodes sought to avoid deployment to Iraq by claiming Obama wasn't born in the United States.

Justice Samuel Alito on Monday rejected Taitz's second request to block the sanctions. Justice Clarence Thomas had rejected the request earlier.

Last chance may be Mario Apuzzo’s case which is supposed to go to SCOTUS soon. He was denied at the appeals court and it is the best case of all that has been filed.

Also McCain or Palin have standing if they brought a case.

At the absolute bare minimum....there is no question Biden is Constitutionally qualified (i.e. a Natural Born Citizen).

Therefore, replacing the usurper with the far less than "ideal" Biden would be a win for the Constitution and therefore for America.

b.t.w. Since removing Barry from office for being unqualified from the beginning would be uncharted territory...who's to say for certain that Biden's having been selected as a running mate by someone who was unqualified for office to begin with...wouldn't be challenged as well?

This Supreme Court is a pack of cowards.

BUMP! America's robed mullahs have spoken. Those Check$ and Balance$ on the totalitarian branch must be rolling in.

Wrong. Apuzzo’s case was filed before he was POTUS and after he was POTUS. The case is being tee’d up for SCOTUS because it has gone through the appeals court.

We don’t have a chance either but surrender in not an option. I contributed a few times to the patriotic Dr. as she sees where we are headed through her own experience.

Of course its absurd to you. Thats because you do not know really what the context of what we are facing. LOL .
The only difference between Ory Taitz and her supporters is that they understand what the nation faces. Her detractors do not, and you do not obviously.Itwas thesamein 1774, so many were content to think that judging thoise who actto preserve liberty are just idiosyncratic unskilled unsophisticated neophites. Inn the end those very people turned out to be ignorant cowards. It will be the same once again.

Maybe a little reading might assist you.You are on the wrong side of history.And so is SCOTUS.The world to which you relate no longer exists.Paragigm shift required.But then cowards rarely have the kind of courage to bring that about, they have to suffer the desperate personal loss of liberty due to our current government predation before that happens.

>"Is he a natural born citizen."

His father is British. So NO, he is NOT NBC. He is a dual born citizen at best.

If Osama Bin Laden got an American woman pregnant, would that child be eligable? How about Adolph, Stalin, or Mao?

That is the reason and logic for the NBC clause. To prevent foreign influence\usurpation.

Are you suggesting that Thomas has seen Zero’s long form birth certificate? If so, then he really ought to tell everyone what he saw to clear this whole mess up...

I'm guessing that all Justice Thomas needed to see were the facts of the case. That, and maybe a copy of the brief Taitz filed with the 9th Circuit week before last.

I know it sounds crazy on the surface, but if I can get some urgent stuff done in the next couple weeks I’ll document and elaborate on my reasons for thinking this - not the least of which is that GW honestly seemed to believe that if TARP wasn’t passed the entire Western World as we know it would cease to exist.

Ping me when you do please.

Precisely. Regardless of where ever he may have been born, he (Barry Obama) was born a subject to the crown of her majesty the Queen of England and therefore never was and never could be a “Natural Born Citizen” as known and intended by the framers when they put that requirement in place for the Commander in Chief of the armed forces.

Get over yourself.

One only needs to read the details of Taitz's antics to realize she is a legal buffoon. That is regardless of the merits of the larger birther concerns, for which I have sympathies, although they are just part of my larger concerns of just about the entire Constitution being usurped.

If you are so wedded to this issue that you cannot step back far enough to discern Taitz's clear legal problems, then you really need to get a grip.

I suppose you fully support addressing judges as, “Your Honor” too.

So tell me again what that has to do with Taitz’s legal hijinks as noted in post 35. Y’all keep assiduosly avoiding those leetle details, for some strange reason.

We all have our answer on that. This question needs to be answered by the supremes.

If Zero couldn’t/shouldn’t have been elected, Biden wouldn’t be in the VP seat.

“Gee, do you think that maybe, just maybe, if rock-ribbed conservative jurist Clarence Thomas finds that Taitz’s actions were out of line, that they actually were?”

Bah, that’s crazy talk.

C'mon, dirtboy. Justice Thomas is either "in on it" - "a Marxist" - "an Obama supporter" - or all three of the above.
He had us fooled but thank God for the birthers and Orly he has now been exposed.

IMO any judge that has had this subject brought to his court and has shuffled it off is a coward. I also think that the Republican congressmen and senators are TOTALLY corrupt because they haven’t stood up and demanded to see Zeros full history. Just the fact that he is hiding it is a full indication that corruption and fraud exist in the matter.
