What a cast of characters! It’s all way too convoluted for me. Isn’t Taitz suing Berg, or vice versa?
It bothers me that they have, among them, made their act into a three-ring circus when there is a serious underlying Constitutional question with which they have come to be identified. Their antics distract from that serious question and cast those who DO recognize a Constitutional issue as being as nutty as they are. We can only hope that some of the saner attorneys who have had quieter cases that focus on the legal issues will eventually prevail.
This is a non-birther legal dispute between Lincoln and Taitz where Smith was a witness to certain events between the two. Lincoln and Smith are testifying that Taitz is lying regarding legal work that was supposed to be done involving real estate and Berg is representing Lincoln. I believe that Berg may have had a previous dispute with Taitz.
My personal assessment, after reading Smith's affidavit and knowing what Taitz is capable of after she went off on Judge Land, is that Taitz will not be found to be credible.
This, in combination with Judge Carter's refusal today to “transfer” her quo warranto case to DC may well be the end of Taitz’ involvement in birther lawsuits, and even an end to her practice of law.
Although Taitz was able to draw TV coverage to the issue and could articulate the BC/NBC issues if given a chance I must say that she did more to contribute to the circus aspect than anyone with her wild accusations against judges and her ineffectiveness as a lawyer. I say this as a person who sent her a small contribution, which I regretted after she attacked Judge Land and apparently drove Lucas Smith away by asking him to lie as well, depending on who you believe.
Going forward my only hope is with Leo Donofrio's quo warranto filing that is supposed to be coming soon.
