I'd like to point out there were many birther court cases and not one was successful.One was even brought to The Supreme Court who refused to hear the case.Another court fined # 1 birther attorney orly taitz 20,000 for bringing a frivolous birther lawsuit and wasting the courts time.The Supreme Court upheld the fine. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nat...0-000-fine-frivolous-lawsuit-article-1.205638 'Birther' leader Orly Taitz ordered by Supreme Court to pay $20,000 fine for 'frivolous' lawsuit Supreme Court tells “birther" leader to pay up A leader of the generally ridiculed movement which believes President Obama was not born in the United States must pay a $20,000 fine she was slapped with in 2009, the nation’s highest court ruled Monday. Orly Taitz, a dentist and lawyer in California, received the fine for a lawsuit she filed in Georgia on behalf of Army Capt. Connie Rhodes, who refused to be deployed to Iraq, arguing that the orders weren't legitimate since Obama is not eligible to be President. The judge in that case called the lawsuit "frivolous," and accused Taitz of wasting the court's time. "The Court finds that counsel's conduct was willful and not merely negligent," Judge Clay Land said in a statement in October. "It demonstrates bad faith on her part. As an attorney, she is deemed to have known better." The judge added: "Counsel's frivolous and sanctionable conduct wasted the defendant’s time and valuable judicial resources that could have been devoted to legitimate cases pending with the Court." Taitz was also accused by Land of not following the rules of the court and of failing "to make coherent legal arguments." She seemed more interested in wasting time with "press conference sound bites and speeches," he said. The 49-year-old vows she will continue to fight in order to avoid paying the fine, which she says she will be able to do thanks to donations from "birther" supporters. "I have the means to pay," she told Talking Points Memo on Monday. "Within a month, I will have the $20,000." Donations have been coming to her in small contributions, she said. "There's a lot of support," Taitz claimed. The "birther" leader vows to keep up the fight, however, comparing herself to persecuted anti-apartheid freedom fighter and former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela. "Mandela was in prison for years, he went against the regime, but ultimately he prevailed," Taitz said. In a Daily News online poll, which recorded nearly 20,000 votes, 95% said that President Obama was "definitely" born in the United States. One percent indicated he was "maybe" born here, with only 4% voting "probably not" or "no." With News Wire Services msheridan@nydailynews.com; or follow him at Twitter.com/NYDNSheridan
obama challenged a court case in georgia. when the judge ruled he had to appear and produce documents regarding his birth he failed to show up at the hearing and testify to where he was born or produce proof of where he was born. Taitz could have taken a default but chose to put on a circus.. which gave the court an out. She was either the worst lawyer in history or paid to be stupid. If I recall the Supreme Ct refused to hear the case for jurisdictional issues related to that case. Like it was not ripe or it was too late. I could be wrong on this because it was a long time ago... if you wish to cite us to the case you are talking about.
I was mistaken.The SC refused to hear MULTIPLE birther cases.Here are 3 Hollister v. Soetoro On March 5, 2009, a lawsuit filed by Philip Berg on behalf of Gregory S. Hollister, a retired Air Force colonel, against Barack Obama (referenced as "Barry Soetoro", the name given at the time of his enrollment in an Indonesian elementary school). The suit was dismissed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The presiding judge, James Robertson, said the case was a waste of the court's time, calling Berg and another lawyer "agents provocateurs" and their local counsel, John Hemenway, "a foot soldier in their crusade." He ordered Hemenway to show cause why he should not pay the legal fees for Obama's attorney as a penalty for filing a complaint "for an improper purpose such as to harass".[43] The district court ultimately reprimanded Hemenway for his actions, and the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld the dismissal of the case and Hemenway's reprimand.[26] On January 18, 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court declined, without comment, to hear the case.[44] Wrotnowski v. Bysiewicz On October 31, 2008, Greenwich resident and health food store owner Cort Wrotnowski filed a suit in the Connecticut Supreme Court against then Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz challenging the authenticity of presidential candidate Obama's Hawaii birth certificate. The suit was dismissed after initial hearings.[88] Wrotnowski appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court on November 25,[89] contending that the British citizenship of Obama's father made the president-elect ineligible to assume office. Leo Donofrio, whose earlier case against Obama's eligibility had been turned down, assisted Wrotnowski's Supreme Court appeal.[90] The request for stay or injunction was denied without comment on December 15, 2008.[89][91] Thomas Goldstein, who has argued numerous cases before the court and covers Supreme Court cases, commented that "The law has always been understood to be, if you are born here, you're a natural born citizen. And that is particularly true in this case, when you have a U.S. citizen parent like Barack Obama's mother".[91] Keyes v. Bowen On November 14, 2008, Alan Keyes and Markham Robinson, chairman of the American Independent Party and a California candidate for president elector, filed a lawsuit requesting that Obama provide documentation that he is a natural-born citizen of the United States.[92][93][94][95] Keyes also said in an interview that he would not be in favor of amending this requirement of the Constitution.[96] Keyes asserts that statements by Obama's paternal step-grandmother "raise doubts as to whether Barack Obama is in fact a natural born U.S. citizen, eligible to be president."[97][98][99] California Superior Court Judge Michael P. Kenny sustained, without leave to amend, Secretary Bowen's and Obama's demurrers on Keyes' petition for writ of mandate and granted Obama's motion to quash the subpoena. Keyes was found not to be entitled to the records he sought, thereby declaring the case moot.[100][101] The California Court of Appeal affirmed the dismissal on October 25, 2010.[102] The California Supreme Court declined, without comment, to review the case on February 2, 2011.[103] On October 3, 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court declined, without comment, to hear the case.[104]
