It doesn't really; Lincoln was trying to embarass Orly and get her in trouble with her husband. But Orly was nuts to hire a convicted felon as her de-facto law partner, so I have little sympathy for her.

As Judge Carter said of Orly: “Plaintiffs (Orly) have encouraged the Court to ignore the mandates of the Constitution; to ignore the limits put on its power put in place by the Constitution; and to effectively overthrow a sitting president who was popularly elected by “We the people,” over sixty-nine million of the people.
Plaintiffs have attacked the judiciary, including every prior court that has dismissed their claim, as unpatriotic and even treasonous for refusing to grant their requests and for adhering to the terms of the Constitution which set forth its jurisdiction. Respecting the Constitutional role and jurisdiction of the Court is not unpatriotic. Quite the contrary, this Court considers commitment to that constitutional role to be the the ultimate reflection of patriotism.”—US District Court Judge David O. Carter, Barnett et. al. v Obama, et. al. 10/29/09
