Instead of arguing pertinent legal authority supporting her position, counsel reverted to “press conference mode,” repeating political "talking points" that did not answer the Court's questions or address the Court's concerns. Specifically, counsel was unable to explain why this Court should not abstain from deciding this case based upon well-established precedent, and she was unable to articulate clearly how the alleged "cloud" on the President's place of birth amounted to a violation of her client's individual constitutional rights. Rather than address these two important questions, counsel retreated to her political rhetoric. When the Court admonished her for not addressing the legal issues presented by her Complaint, counsel accused the Court of unfairly badgering her and implored the Court to ask Defendants' counsel questions instead of her. Ms. Taitz's performance confirmed to the Court that her focus was not to pursue a legitimate legal cause of action to obtain relief for her client but was to use the Court to force the President to produce a "birth certificate" satisfactory to her and her followers. Her other purpose appeared to be to use litigation as a means of drawing attention to her political agenda. During the hearing, Plaintiff's counsel threatened that if she did not get the opportunity to obtain the relief she sought (discovery of a birth certificate), then a wave of subsequent similar actions would be filed in this Court until she obtained what she wanted.

Sounds to me like Judge Land has accurately pegged Orly Taitz and her legal freak show. She's all about the attention and never about serving her clients. She should be disbarred.

Well Judge Land has also sent the order to the California State Bar.

Obama on birth had dual citizenship, U.S. and British. How can dual citizenship also be a natural birth? Regardless of where Obama wass born, he is does not meet the provision in Art 2 Sec 1 of the Constitution. The courts are the proper venue for rulings on birth.
