When a lawyer files complaints and motions without a reasonable basis for believing that they are supported by existing law or a modification or extension of existing law, that lawyer abuses her privilege to practice law. When a lawyer uses the courts as a platform for a political agenda disconnected from any legitimate legal cause of action, that lawyer abuses her privilege to practice law. When a lawyer personally attacks opposing parties and disrespects the integrity of the judiciary, that lawyer abuses her privilege to practice law. When a lawyer recklessly accuses a judge of violating the Judicial Code of Conduct with no supporting evidence beyond her dissatisfaction with the judge’s rulings, that lawyer abuses her privilege to practice law. When a lawyer abuses her privilege to practice law, that lawyer ceases to advance her cause or the ends of justice.

Regrettably, the conduct of counsel Orly Taitz has crossed these lines, and Ms. Taitz must be sanctioned for her misconduct. After a full review of the sanctionable conduct, counsel’s conduct leading up to that conduct, and counsel’s response to the Court’s show cause order, the Court finds that a monetary penalty of $20,000.00 shall be imposed upon counsel Orly Taitz as punishment for her misconduct, as a deterrent to prevent future misconduct, and to protect the integrity of the Court. Payment shall be made to the United States, through the Middle District of Georgia Clerk’s Office, within thirty days of today’s Order. If counsel fails to pay the sanction due, the U.S. Attorney will be authorized to commence collection proceedings.

You can take up that cause if you like.
Others on these threads have said different, that because my great grandfather came from Italy instead of, say, Spain, and their law considers me a citizen, I have divided loyalties and am not a natural born citizen.
The main question is "Does a foreign law control who is or isn't considered to be a natural born citizen? Suppose Britain and Kenya went by a strict jus solis interpretation, where you had to be born there in order to be a citizen?
More than one state does require proof, as pissant pointed out from their own websites..
Vet the current president.
If only it were that simple.
Birthers also attempt to redefine the constitution, would ignore it when it's in their way, defy the law, accuse the judicial system of corruption for not ruling for them, consciously undermine belief in the American system of governement, and when it looks like they really aren't going to get their way legally, advocate for violent means of achieving their will anyway.
Most people would not consider these patriotic qualities.
Really now? Where did you get your J.D.?
I’ve got my popcorn! This is going to be good!
Thanks for the updated BC troll list. Your ping helped me update my list.
Oh yea!!!
I never have had to produce a long form bc. Not for a job, not for my Texas law license, not for little league. Even the American Grand Jury (which requires one to be a Natural Born Citizen to participate) didn’t require that I produce a long form, short form, or even COLB - all I had to do was tell Offshores Bob Campbell that I was a Natural Born Citizen.
I’m and engineer, not a lawyer. In other words, I can read and comprehend things. Unlike most lawyers.
Send a letter to the sec of states: ask them to
Vet the president...especially the democrat SOS’s. They’ll stutter and stammer, like missouri’s did.
It was nice of him to update my bc troll list.
The moment that Obama admitted, on the very same web page that you cite (http://www.fightthesmears.com/articles/5/birthcertificate.html), that he had dual Kenyan citizenship, he opened this can of worms:
Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.”
Admitting any type of dual citizenship quickly leads to legitimate questions about Obama's natural born citizenship status.
The way to clear these questions completely is by releasing all of the Hawaiian vital records and any Kenyan ones (his father was a government official in Kenya, and I think it is highly likely that he would have filed paperwork regarding the birth of Barack Hussein Obama II), any passports both current and expired, and details of his citizenship or visa status in Indonesia.
None of this would take more than an afternoon, yet he would rather engage DoJ lawyers to spend many hours fighting the production of any documents.
I challenge all of ‘them’ to take a stance.. And stop the infighting.
I agree.
I keep reading these posts with a "I have a J.D.", "I have practiced in the federal courts for umpteen years", or other variations about their legal credentials.
This is a conservative, activist website. If you do have this expertise and these kind of credentials, and you have enough time to spend posting on these threads, why not do something constructive with your expertise, instead of merely carping and criticizing Dr. Taitz?
And when did Missouori's do that?
TPM reports ...
Still defiant after months of legal wrangling and, by our count, three written denunciations by federal district court Judge Clay Land, Taitz said she had absolutely no plans to pay the $20,000 fine.
“Are you kidding? Of course not,” she said, asked whether she planned to send a check. “This is a form of intimidation.”
Instead, she plans to file yet another written response (though it’s unclear whether the court will even accept one).
It's a little late for that now.
I'm fully in support of a change in state laws to require that eligibility for office be proven before access to the ballot is allowed.
For everyone’s edification here, humblegunner hates Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck’s guts.
So for him to hate Taitz too, makes her in good company.
LOL. The ones demanding the constitution be upheld, the ones who through diligence have demonstratated the idiots in the parties, the FEC, and the various Secs of State have done nothing to vet the candidate, the ones who have now indeed found that Obama’s vital records have been amended, the ones who have done the heavy lifting to determine what the founding fathers based their NBC requirement upon, the ones who have also exposed NUMEROUS lies that this faux CIC has told about his history???
Yeah, if only it were that simple.
LorenC,
Seriously. I don’t believe in name calling. But who and what are you?
Did you not see my post? The COLB posted by obama, has the words:
“TERRIK has determined this COLB HAS NO LEGAL VERACITY because it was stamped with “DATE FILED BY REGISTRAR” instead of “DATE ACCEPTED BY STATE REGISTRAR”.
DO you understand? The COLB that so many senators, congressmen, judges, people have - the one and only piece of evidence - to hang their hat on has NO LEGAL VERACITY.
