Being that Orley is one of the top attorneys on the entire planet, I am sure that her not signing this motion is part of some higher strategy that we cannot hope to ever understand. /sarcasm
The ‘signing’ is not exactly as it appears. Today’s pleadings are filed electronically and so is the signature. One needs a pin number to file and needs to be adept at using the court’s system to performing the filing. You may be a great lawyer but electronically challenged when it comes to these ministerial tasks. I’m not trying to make up excuses for not getting it right since a lawyer should know how to do it, but anyone who has worked with computers and electronic submissions knows what I am talking about. Some people are simiply more computer literate than others. In addition, most lawyers have staff to do such things, but you won’t find high priced lawyers running after the kind of litigation Orly takes on because there is no rich client willing to pay the fee. On the other hand, look what Obama’s personal lawyers are charging for their services. They can afford to have an army of electronic wizards and proof readers supporting their efforts. In addition, doesn’t it make you feel all warm and fuzzy to know that there are three high priced government lawyers opposing her in the Keyes case who have a limitless staff of bureaucrats getting paid with our taxpayer dollars to defend Obama for free.
