“Justice Samuel Alito on Monday rejected Taitz’s second request” —
The AP article, which most of the news sources have picked up, has it wrong. Alito last week referred the matter to the full court, and it was the full court that turned it down.
You’re absolutely correct, and Alito did it that way so this lunatic wouldn’t be able to pester the other judges one by one and waste their time. There are more important things for them to do than waste their time on this nutcase who got her law degree in some cheesy online program.

Sometimes it pays to get one’s information from “the horse’s mouth.”
