Sorry for the ignorance but who is Orly Taitz?
nevermind, answered my own question.
She has a Wikipedia page now that gives some of the essentials. She is an immigrant dentist and lawyer from Florida who has pursued some of the birth-certificate related lawsuits against Obama. She has a lot of energy but IMHO sometimes seems a little nutty, as when she thought it would help her case to personally waylay two Supreme Court justices.
