Columbus Attorneys Disapprove Of Orly Taitz's Actions
Ledger-Enquirer ^ | 10/13/09 | Alan Riquelmy

Posted on 10/13/2009 10:55:29 AM PDT by steve-b

Columbus attorney William Mason has seen "birther" lawyer Orly Taitz on television and read about her in the newspaper.

He's quick with a description of the California lawyer: "She's nuts," Mason said. “Based on what I saw and read, she's nuts."

Mason said her court filings don't appear written by someone familiar with the court system. Also, members of the Georgia bar, to which Taitz doesn't belong, aren't allowed to advance an untrue cause. And, he said, she's never been able to support speculation made in federal court that President Barack Obama wasn't born in the United States.

For attorney Frank Martin, Taitz's actions are so egregious that she should be disciplined.

"First of all, a lawyer has an ethical duty not to advance an argument that either you know is not true or you do not have an honest basis to argue," Martin said. "She's the type of person who gives lawyers a bad name."...

As a candidate, and now as an elected leader, I would think the burden of proof would be on Obama to demonstrate that he IS eligable.

I would like to think so, but no court has yet determined that anyone has standing to force Obama to do what he’s supposed to do.

....the onus....is on his shoulders.....

Unfortunately, in a court of law, the onus is on her, not him. All she had was a bogus looking Kenyan birth certificate some crackpot was trying to auction on the internet plus she is a terrible lawyer with virtually no courtroom experience and she attacked the judge personally. Go away, Orly or get some help.

It’s time for Barack to show off his birth certificate to the rest of the class in a new age show and tell... Let’s see it! Why pay millions to hide it?

I’m tired of the messenger being the story. If a lawyer trying a case finished 19th out of 27 in his law school, would the judge immediately toss out his case or decide the case on it’s own merits?

We have a president who, in all seriousness, is not a natural born citizen for the reasons we’ve gone over ad nauseum. So, Barack isn’t a natural born citizen and probably wasn’t even born in Hawaii and this is being covered up. You have to ask yourself why.

Why the cover up?

Just show the long form birth certificate and the critics (on this issue) will just have to put a lid on it.

We ALL, all Americans, have standing to question Zero’s eligibility and authority to be ruining and destroying (or as Glenn Beck put it, dismantling) America.

That’s the dirty little secret the leftist activist judges will NOT admit to. It’s typical leftist BS.

If this was a republican president you know damn well it would be the top issue and require immediate resolution.

Hmm. I don't recall Democrats jumping on board to sue McCain on the eligibility. As I recall, it was Keyes, Drake, Robinson -- the same people suing Obama -- who were challenged McCain's eligibility.

Hmm, If I remember correctly, they had senate hearings to determine mccains eligibility. And if you think the media, as well as the dems, would not be all over this you are clearly delusional.

I think what "they" (Republicans and Democrats) had was an unopposed, nonbinding Resolution (not hearings) that said that McCain was eligible. (No Democrat opposed the Resolution. No Democrat argued that McCain was not eligible, and a leading "leftist" Constitutional scholar emphatically declared that McCain was eligible.

The leftist media did pick up the McCain eligibility story, briefly, but did not cover it nearly as much as they have now covered the challenges to Obama. Oddly (or not), its the leftist media who are pushing the Obama eligibility challenge story -- not Fox News and other "reality based" or conservative media.

Have you followed her cases at all? She cant even get far enough to compel discovery. She is the wrong person to pursue this. She has now hired someone to help her and he is a disbared lawyer. God help us!

I wonder if this William Mason attorney is related to Cuyahoga County prosecuting Attorney William Mason. The county that has the wacko and total nutball Dennis "Kook" Kucinich and Commie lover Marcia Fudge as reps?

In order to utilize the Two parent citizen tack of the NBC angle, she must LEGALLY establish who his father is. For that she nneds help in either verifying the Kenyan BC, or obtaining the Hawaiin BC. Untill then she is stymied because she lacks the legal verification.

I’ll bet that is just fine with you though.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Apparently, citizens have “no standing” to question the emperor.

Fidel Castro could be nominated, placed on ballots.. ( With thousands upon thousands of citizens screaming at their government officials the entire time to check his credentials).

Citizens could elect Fidel Castro. ( With citizens screaming at elected officials and at their so-called “conservative” talk show weenies begging them to cover the issue.)

The Electoral College could vote for Fidel Castro for U.S. President. ( Again with thousands of citizen writing, faxing and calling in to object.).

Attorney Berg might even get Fidel's case all the way to the Supreme Court. ( With a minimum of 250,000 FedEX letters arriving begging the Supreme court to hear the case.)

The Congress could approve him.( With thousands of citizens writing, calling, and faxing in objection.)

And...Citizens have “no standing” to go to court and ask that our Constitution be upheld, and Fidel Casto’s natural born status examined.

Somehow, I don't think this is what our Founding Fathers had in mind.

Well, you’re right about that. It’s too bad the social opprobrium against following up on Constitutional prerequisites is so strong in this political environment that only an Orly Taitz is willing to stand tall for what really counts!

Barack Obama should just show us his long form birth certificate. The longer this story goes on, the more evil Obama will appear and the more “in the tank” the MSM will appear.

Us birthers won’t be embarrassed because any person with an IQ above 80 can see that Obama is clearly being fraudulent with the public.

She hasn't been allowed to prove/disprove it.

A lot of don't get why she just didn't go to Hawaii and ask for documents under UIPA (Hawaii's Uniform Information Provision Act) which is stronger than FOIA in many ways, and demands that public information be made available to any member of the public (Gee, what a concept!)

As far as "privacy" goes, once the COLB hit his website, guess what, he doesn't have any. It's the law in Hawaii. All documentation behind the COLB is public property. We also have a right, by that state's laws, dto see the amendments to the record the authorities admit have been made.

There is really no further need for endless speculation. It's going to state court and documents will be coughed up.

In God I trust, but if you believe we're going to see the documents, that's almost as good for me. Gee, no more sleepless nights wondering, tossing and turning. Finally, all will be revealed as to why he's so solicitous about this big birth certificate! Doesn’t really solve the “natural born citizen” issue but I'd still love to see his majesty brought to an all time low in popular opinion. After that, "His Royal Impotence” will be more lame duck than any other POTUS ever was during their second term! (Positively giddy with glee, I am!)

Watch that giddiness, Ma! However, The Kenny Bunk Passamaquoddy Indian Crystal Ball, which is made from genuine Maine Lake Ice that has somehow survived Global Warming says:

There will be no Second Term for our Putative POTUS.
Kerry will replace Hillary as SoS
He and Joey Plugs from Delaware will run Foreign Policy
She will campaign her impressive duff off in 2011 DemoPrimaries
Obama is going to use her as his Australian Tag Team Partner
She is just as much a s Marxist as he ... and smarter
George Soros will cover the whole thing out of petty cash

The GOP will recycle Bob Dole. His running mate will be Dede Scozzafava.
