I’m just going to kick back and wait for OldDeckHand to step in and tell us all (again) why this just doesn’t matter and why we should all just run along...

I'm not Old Deck Hand, but I am a lawyer and I will predict that the Supreme Court will deny certiorari in this case with no recorded dissent.

This case does not raise any eligibility issues, although Orly Taitz doesn' seem to understand that (she raises all kinds of eligibility arguments in her brief, but that issue isn't in the case anymore). The plaintiff in this case who challenged Obama's eligibility was Connie Rhodes. Rhodes dropped the case, fired Taitz and didn't appeal. Because there is no plaintiff in the case anymore, the eligibility issue is no longer part of the case.

The only person appealing to the Supreme Court is Orly Taitz, and the only issue, therefore, is the $20,000 sanction against her. Taitz also seems to misunderstand why she was sanctioned: it was not for bringing the eligibility case. The sanctions order specifies exactly what she was sanctioned for: accusing the judge of "treason" (that's called "contempt of court," for those of you following along at home), and accusing the judge of meeting with Attorney General Holder in a coffee shop across the street from the courthouse in Georgia (on a day when Holder was appearing publicly in Los Angeles).

Judge Land (a conservative Republican appointed by President Bush at the recommendation of Senator Chambliss) specifically held that Taitz was not sanctioned for her original Complaint, but only for the frivolous and contemptuous language in her motion for reconsideration (a motion she legally had no right to file at all, since her client had already fired her).

You don’t understand. The Old Deck Hand knows that the legal system is far above and superior to a Constitution written by a bunch of gay founders(according to Harry Reid).
