High court turns away appeal from 'birther' leader
Associated Press ^ | January 10, 2011 | Associated Press

Posted on 01/10/2011 10:22:46 AM PST by Lurking Libertarian

The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from a lawyer who has been in the forefront of the challenge to President Barack Obama's citizenship.

The high court on Monday did not comment in refusing to hear the appeal filed by California lawyer and dentist Orly Taitz. She was contesting a $20,000 fine for filing what a federal judge determined was a frivolous lawsuit.

“So he should send you a hard copy personally?”

Obama should do just that. A certified copy for every household in America.

Then we can complain about his wasting taxpayer money to do this rather than just posting a copy on the Internet.

When did military officers that have combat service ( and one, to my knowledge, highly decorated) become “kooks”?

( just wondering)

Fact: A **real** natural born American president would have had these military men ( and at least one military woman) over for a beer in the Rose Garden and personally presented **all** of the **best** evidence to them and made this evidence fully available for examination by all courts.

Personally...I think you owe our military an apology. They deserve to have a president who has been properly vetted. Since Obama can NOT present the very high standard of having U.S. citizens testify of his origins, he should do the next best thing. Obama should promptly release **all** of the **best** evidence proving his natural born citizenship.

But...I doubt that Obama will willing release anything. To do so would likely prove that he is a usurper and a criminal fraud who took MILLIONS of dollars from trusting Americans.

Well! That's the truest thing you've posted!

Internet images are NOT NOT NOT legal validation of anything!!!

And...They won't get your kid on a Little League either! :-)

Gee! There you go again with the highly masturbated Lingle statement! ( eye role).

Next time you need a drivers license get Lingle to call the DMV. Or...If you kid wants to play Little League get her to phone the coach.

Since it is sooooooooo clearly straight forward, then Obama should simply release all of the best evidence proving his natural born citizenship.

Obama won't because he can't. If he did, it likely would show that he is a usurper and criminally defrauded millions of Americans out of MILLIONS of campaign contributions.

Internet images are NOT NOT NOT legal validation of anything!!!

Are you really so out of it that you think anyone has ever said an image on the Internet is acceptable as court documentation? That this self-evident point deserves three capital words and two exclamation points? Have you really missed all the discussions where the most basic evidence of Polarik's fraudulence was his attempt to definitively state that the document was not authentic based on examination of an Internet image only, something no competent forensic document examiner would do?

Obama did not post an image of his COLB on the Internet to provide legal proof of birth. He did it as an informational courtesy for people to whom he is under no legal obligation to prove anything. To believe otherwise is to admit that you are a moron.

Your hysterical repetition of the Little League line is equally stupid. Neither you nor Obama are legally obligated to provide any birth documentation to anyone on the street who asks for it. If you voluntarily chose to join an association that stipulates production of birth certification as a requirement for entry, that's a completely different matter. And an actual COLB would get your kid into most Little Leagues.

Again, if you think realizing that Internet images are not legal documentation makes you clever or insightful, or makes any relevant point in this case, you are mistaken. Your root mistake appears to be confusing your desire to personally see proof of someone else's birth with anyone else's legal obligation to provide it. Sadly for you, Obama's legitimacy as President does not require your personal validation.

And here I thought you were the patron saint of civility. I guess you're about as good at that as you are legal reasoning.

Yes, Little League is a critical component in this intricate tapestry of lies. At least for morons.

I am common citizen...And...It seems that Chrissy Matthews has finally joined those common Americans who are asking the very simple question, “Why doesn't he ( Obama) just release his **long form** birth certificate?”

Obama won't voluntarily do this because he can't. If he did, it would likely show that he is a usurper and that he criminally defrauded millions of Americans out of MILLIONS of dollars in campaign contributions.

As for Lingle and Fukino’s statements. As a common citizen I recognize highly massaged ( masturbated) blather when it is spewed in an effort to obfuscate the truth.

No.

It’s another stupid birther falsehood that needs to be left on the ash heap.

Don’t you think we would have heard by now from at least one person in Hawaii who tried to use a short form COLB to get a driver’s license or a US Passport and was turned away?
At the bottom of every COLB issued by the state of Hawaii it says: “This copy is prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court proceeding.”

No one (except possibly you) who is invested in Obama’s ineligibility on “jus soli” grounds (birth in Hawaii) is going to trust any document released under Obama’s authority.
The best way is for a neutral party, like a prosecuting attorney, to obtain Obama’s birth records under a subpoena.
That way Obama would have absolutely nothing to do with the release.
Hawaii Revised Statutes 338-18(b)(9): A confidential birth record can be released without the permission of the person named on the record to: “a person whose right to inspect or obtain a copy of the record is established by an order of a court of competent jurisdiction.”

I think when people repeatedly bleat nonsense,...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So?...Just exactly which **fact** is nonsense and deserving of personal insult? Hm?

Fact: It really is very simple to absolutely prove that one is a natural born citizen. Unanointed Americans do this routinely for many reasons.

( These reasons are far far far less critical than being Commander in Chief of the most powerful military since the dawn of humankind.)

Fact: Obama hasn't proven that he is a natural born citizen with all of the best evidence.

(Personally.... I conclude it is because it is likely that he can't. If he did release these **common** documents, they would show he is a usurper and criminally defrauded Americans out of MILLIONS of donated dollars during his campaign.)

I think you meant “eye roll” not “eye role.”

Don’t you think we would have heard by now from at least one person in Hawai’i who tried to use a short form COLB to get a driver’s license or a US Passport and was turned away?

At the bottom of every COLB issued by the state of Hawai’i it says: “This copy is prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court proceeding.”

No one (except possibly you) who is invested in Obama’s ineligibility on “jus soli” grounds (birth in Hawai’i) is going to trust any document released under Obama’s authority.

The best way is for a neutral party, like a prosecuting attorney or a legislative committee to obtain Obama’s birth records under a subpoena. That way Obama would have absolutely nothing to do with the release.

Under Hawai’i Revised Statutes 338-18(b)(9), a confidential birth record can be released without the permission of the person named on the record to: “a person whose right to inspect or obtain a copy of the record is established by an order of a court of competent jurisdiction.”

Since it is sooooooo plainly evident, then Obama should nod his head to his secretary, and promptly give permission to release all of the best evidence.

Fact: The little 14 and 15 year old spandex clad gymnasts, or cute little teens ice skating in fluffy pink costumes, representing the U.S. in the Olympics are better vetted than the purported “president” occupying our White House

Fact: Verbal statements from Lingle and Fukino ( highly massaged or not) will **not** get anyone a driver's license in my state.

Fact: It really is very simple to absolutely prove that one is a natural born citizen. Unanointed Americans do this routinely for many reasons.

( These reasons are far far far less critical than being Commander in Chief of the most powerful and potentially most destructive military force since the dawn of humankind.)

Fact: Obama hasn't proven that he is a natural born citizen with all of the best evidence.

(Personally.... I conclude it is because it is likely that he can't. If he did release these **common** documents, they would show he is a usurper and criminally defrauded Americans out of MILLIONS of donated dollars during his campaign.)

It's a fact that COLBs say the same thing in the data fields they report that the baseline birth documentation (the fetishized long form) does. That's where the information on the COLB comes from. If Obama actually obtained the COLB his campaign proffered on the Internet, the salient facts of father, mother and place of birth reflect what is on the long form. To believe otherwise is to be irrational.

So you basically have two options here. In the first, Obama requested a copy of his birth certificate from Hawaii. They sent him the COLB, which his campaign put on the Internet. In response to questions, the state of Hawaii has confirmed that its records say Barak Obama was born in Hawaii. So he already has done what you voluntarily ask and, if he gives you folks any fleeting thought at all, he probably just sighs and wonder how people can be such idiots. He certainly isn't going to waste his time getting another birth certificate for you to complain about, let alone mail it individually to you.

The second option is that Barak Obama, who wasn't required to provide any evidence of birth to the general public, decided to posted a fraudlent birth certificate on the Web. And the entire state of Hawaii government, including its Republican governor, is in on the scam. Oh, and none of the people who ran against him cared even though the truth would have blown him out of the water and given them the nomination or election victory they so desperately coveted. Congress and Dick Cheney didn't care, either. I'm curious what kind of pharmaceutical assistance is needed to find that option compelling.

I suppose there is a third option. You could be one of those breathlessly holding to the fantasy that once American’s see the precious long form birth certificate with a foreign father on it they will robotically pivot in mass and shriek “Vattel was right!” Notwithstanding that Obama has admitted his father was a foreign national forever, wrote a book about it, gave speeches on the campaign trail talking about it, and, if you hysterics are to be believed, forged a fake birth certificate with his Achilles heel father emblazoned on it for everyone to see.

If that's compelling, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you. It comes with a Little League team, too.

Well...Gee!....According to you, it is plainly self evident!!!

Therefore,.... Obama should nod his head to his secretary, and promptly give permission to release all of the best evidence.

Fact: Obama instead of promptly proving with all of the best evidence that he is, indeed, a natural born citizen, has instead gone to considerable effort to prevent the release of these **COMMON** documents.

Personally....I don't think Obama can release them. If he did they would likely show that he is NOT a natural born citizen. Now...What would that mean? Hm?...Probably prison for a very LONG time!
