Southern California attorney Orly Taitz has emerged as a constitutional heroine in the fight to establish – albeit late – whether Barack Obama is even legally eligible to serve as president of the United States.
On Friday, she took the bold step of presenting Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts with a WND petition of some 330,000 names calling on all controlling legal authorities to do just that.
And she did it before 800 people at the University of Idaho where he was speaking.
I have to tell you, this lady is rapidly becoming one of my heroes.
This question of eligibility is quite a story – or, should I say, non-story.
Anyone who dares mention it is now demeaned as a "birther."
I'll accept the title, if a "birther" is anyone who believes the Constitution really means what it plainly says about the president needing to be a "natural born citizen."
The insults won't stop me or WND from covering this issue as we have throughout the campaign and since the election. It's not going away – not until we see the complete birth certificate instead of the certification of live birth, and get some answers to questions of obviously growing concern to millions of Americans.

See post 31 and if you still care, you need a high school degree.
Of course he has.
Everything else - the speculation, the lawsuits, the false claims, the true claims - is an effort to force it out in the open.
With particular emphaisis on the speculation and false claims.
Hip hip, hooray!!
I'll wait until I see her accomplish something first.
Yes, it does. Thank you Calpernia. As we are always hearing, there shouldn’t be any problem displaying a $12.50 birth certificate; likewise there shouldn’t be any difficulty producing one’s law credentials, and yet that information was not on Taitz’ website.
See post 31. Natural born citezenship is an antiquated constitutional requirement in some minds (not mine). You both missed the issue entirely. Do not pass go, off to high school you go.
...and you too; post 31. :)
Believe it or not, j, I have other things to do than glue my eyes to that thread. And you are needlessly rude and defensive.
And you too, off to post 31 with ya
Not antiquated at all. But to date I haven't seen anything that would lead me to doubt Obama's claim to have been born in Hawaii. How you doing in that area.
You both missed the issue entirely. Do not pass go, off to high school you go.
Hardly. I've watched these birther lawsuits for some time now. With great amusement.
William Howard Taft University? Distance learning & earning of a law degree? *sigh* Will have to look into that further. Thank you N-S.
Her license is on all her legal docs. They are on her website.
Actually Calfornia is considered one of the tougher ones. What California is, however, is one of the only states that allows an online law degree.
...or a Russian dentist (as Wikipedia claims)?
It's accredited by the state of California Department of Education. It is not accredited by the American Bar Association or the State Bar of California. No on-line only universities can be accredited by either the ABA or any state Bar association, and only California allows graduates from on-line Universities to sit for the Bar exam.
Ok, I’ll sit out for that one. That I don’t know anything about.
“a lawyer in CA (easier bar exam),”
absolute frog-feathers, like most of the statements
made by Obama, and his defenders, on FreeRepublic.

“Fact: The California bar exam is among the most difficult in the country with recent passage rates as low as 36%.”
Yes. The false claims are repeated ad naseum when the MSM and libtard bloggers write about it. According to them, the “Birth Certificate” was posted on-line back in July.
