The Trials and Tribulations of Orly Taitz
Backstory: Orly Taitz is a lawyer. Not just any lawyer, but a leading figure in the ”Birther” movement. So you know she is quite loony.
Anyway, Orly has filed several lawsuits on behalf of some gullible soldiers claiming that Obama wasn’t born in the US and requesting that the courts order him to produce evidence for such. Last year a federal judge, having gotten fed up with Orly’s nonsense, ordered $20,000 in sanctions for filing frivolous lawsuits. Orly petitioned Supreme Court Justice Thomas to stay the sanctions earlier this year, which he quickly denied without bothering to refer the issue to the full Court. Orly noticed “suspicious” things like that fact that Thomas “allegedly” signed the order a whole day before it appeared online, and started making up more conspiracy theories about how maybe the signature was forged and Thomas never actually saw the petition.
Shortly afterward, Orly filed a similar petition with Justice Alito, who referred the issue to the full Court (presumably only out of fear she would just refile with every Justice otherwise), who just denied her claim, yet again.
But the fun doesn’t stop there.

Not only is the President a sham, the entire Supreme Court is as well! Well, due to the US conspiracy to keep her claims from being heard, she must resort to other methods:

In parallel with the certiorari I will be filing an appeal in an international court of Human Rights.
She goes on to compare Obama with Stalin:
Quote:
It was important for the world to know about the human rights violations in Stalinist Russia, in Iraq, in Iran. It is important for the world to know about the Human Rights violations in the United States during the illegitimate regime of the Kenyan born communist dictator Barack Hussein Obama aka barack (Barry) Soetoro, aka Barack (Barry) Soebarkach .
As this involves politics/world events, this arguably goes in EoEO. However, there’s no way to take Birthers seriously, so I determined GC was the appropriate venue. Mocking is the only reasonable response to such craziness.
Also, I found out this last weekend that my grandfather is a Birther. :( Do you know any Birthers?
