Sorry, Orly -- Judge Throws Out Fake Kenyan Birth Certificate

Salon ^ | 8/6/09

[steve-b]

On Saturday, Orly Taitz filed in federal court the forged Kenyan birth certificate for President Obama that she'd discovered. It lasted in the file for less than a week -- on Thursday, a judge ordered the motion that Taitz had submitted stricken from the court record....

In the order, which can be downloaded in PDF form here, the judge says the motion was improperly filed "for the following reasons: Lacks proper notice; improper form and format; Counsel failed to identify her Cal. State Bar No.; description of motion conflicts or differs from that which counsel entered on Court's e-docket."

Taitz could file another motion, accompanied again by the forged birth certificate -- but she'll have to overcome the mistakes she made with this filing, and that might prove difficult. The electronic court record for the case, in which she's representing Alan Keyes, among others, is filled with similar procedural errors on her part.

Not that it would matter anyway -- the document is a proven fake, and the Australian birth certificate on which it was apparently based has already been discovered. Plus, on Thursday an anonymous person came forward claiming to be the source of the forgery, and with evidence to suggest that it was all a hoax, one designed to further discredit the Birthers....

Do we have ONE law professor within the Freeper family who would be willing to proof read for her? This good woman is trying as hard as she knows how.

If Taitz is incapable of following court procedures or understanding then proofreading is the least of her problems. She has no business being in a courtroom.

^^ she's a dentist ^^^

I hope for the sake of her patients that her skills as a dentist are better than her skills as an attorney.

Sorry. All she claims to have is a jpg emailed to her (read here filing or blog if in doubt). She has no paper doc

That would settle it for me.

"She has no understanding of procedure at all, and seems to have slept through all her classes."

Probably because she was in the comfort of her own home when she took those "classes". She's the first, or one of the first lawyers (maybe in the country) that graduated from an on-line law school to be admitted to a state bar. From what I understand (and I didn't know this was possible until last week), California is on of the only states in the country that allows such a thing.

Considering Taitz' performance I'd say that's a good thing for the other 49.

What do you really know about legal litigation in a court room? I know she has been working on this for months.
course, you are a liberal you wouldnt understand, Obama

[Jedidah]

So isn’t there a competent FR attorney of independent means and mind with the time to take this on? Someone literate and articulate? Bet he wouldn’t have a hard time raising legal fees. ;-)

Thanks, Fred Nerks.

misleading headline, one for the ping list

Several trolls on this thread, too. Where there's smoke, etc. ...

[machogirl]

“Anonymous person has come forward to claim” haha, good journalistic source. Some anon blogger.

[FreepShop1]

Bigotry now? You’re really stooping down there.

Uh, have you seen her hair? It is Skank City. How is that "bigotry"? Against hairdressers?

[FreepShop1]

Where to begin with this rank drivel? What have done for your country lately, Nathan Hale?

I think Nathan Hale would have recognized the Shilling impression.

[1035rep]

These BC threads are serious troll bait :)

[CaptRon]

Well, gee. thanks.

[IrishPennant]

Thanks for the ping, LucyT...My money remains on Orly...something just feels right and trolls and/or those who wish to be as aggressive be damned.

[Red Steel]

Maybe Orly should attach Obama’s bogus HI certification to her next motion, see if the Court strikes that too.

Yeah, send it to the court for authentication.

I am dropping out of this movement. It is time for us to wipe after you drop out.

Buh bye.

[RepublitarianRoger2]

That’s a good strategy that I had not considered.

Not that it would matter anyway -- the document is a proven fake, and the Australian birth certificate on which it was appantly based has been discovered.

Memo to Salon's Koppelman: "The Australian birth certificate on which it was apparently based" might have been forged from the template of Taitz' document, rather than the other way around. We have heard that Mr. Bamford (to whom the alleged "Australian birth certificate" purportedly belongs) has a checkered past, including being charged with fraud in a current criminal case in Australia. Furthermore, neither the Taitz document nor the Bamford document are purported to be "birth certificates," but rather are titled "Certified Copy of Birth Registration." Seems that you are gloating a bit prematurely.

How in the world can this discredit the "birthers"???

Only an "after-birther" can come up with such a stupid statement, ROTLMAO!!!

[hoosiermama]

They have one complete thread earlier....They don’t even know who is who on FR.....They have us surrounded, looks like we’re winning.

Had a freeper frmail me with a quote....I knew who wrote it before I clicked on the link....The same person who plays a lawyer on FR and has told three different numbers for the years of experience....can’t even keep the lies straight.
