The problem for Orly is that the judge's orders dismissing the suit are not under seal, I was just able to retrive them online in under 2 minutes.

The judge used the same line of legal reasoning that pretty much every other court has used in dismissing the suit. It's pretty much just a boiler-plate dismissal, but from over 20 years of practicing law I don't see anything out of the ordinary in it.

As I mentioned the other day in another thread, once Congress certified the election results, this was no longer a "legal" issue, but rather a "political" issue, which almost no court ever wants to involve themselves. (For reference, you can look at the various lawsuits of a similar nature filed against John McCain which were dismissed for similar reasons.) As poster "David" noted in that thread (I believe him to be a lawyer as well) that in reality there is no justiciable question involved in these cases and they are almost all certainly doomed to the same fate - dismissal. This has all been part of the Court system for a very long time, it's not something being cooked up in response to the challenges to Obama's qualifications.

BTW,

Has anyone actually seen any kind of explanation of how Orly Taitz ended up on Tel Aviv, rather than London, which is where she claimed she was going to “authenticate” the kenya birth certificate she is touting? Am I mistaken as to her claim or did she not actually do what she said she was going to do. Obviously, she couldn’t have been in two places at one time and her interview on MSNBC originated in Israel, not England.

“This has all been part of the Court system for a very long time, it’s not something being cooked up in response to the challenges to Obama’s qualifications.”

Assuming you are correct. Then I would say it is time to fix this. That would be “change I could believe in.” What you describe is what I would call judicial cowardice.

Thanks for the explanation! I should have read further before posting my last.
