Ping to an Orly Taitz whack-a-mole thread.
Fair to Orly or not, Judge Carter admonished Orly Taitz in his ruling clearly based in part on Smith's affidavit alleging wrongdoing by Taitz. Carter was fully aware that Smith had also placed before the court the Kenya BC. Carter did not consider Smith's well-publicized background and claims about the BC to have impeached him as a witness.
A second federal court validation of Smith, by extension, can only enhance the credibility of Lucas Smith's representations regarding how he came to acquire Obama’s Kenya BC.
If Smith was actually a fraudster, the last and most foolish thing he would be expected to do would be to expose himself to a felony charge of making false statements or giving false testimony in federal court.
Yes, stranger things have happened, but I have read Smith's affidavits, viewed his videos, and read his blog in which he defends the authenticity of the Kenya BC and I have found him to appear to be extremely careful of what he says about it.
If Taitz is found to have lied in this case based on the preponderance of the evidence, including Smith's testimony, it will be the second federal court where her honesty has been called into question. A loss in this case by Taitz would seem to threaten her CA Bar membership even more than it is threatened already.
Any shortcomings of Orly Taitz have no bearing on what the original HI vital records of Obama show, whether or not Obama was actually born in Kenya, or whether SCOTUS would find him to be an NBC despite having a Kenyan national as his father. It will fall to others to try to litigate these matters.
