Judge Doesn't Much Like Birther Queen Orly Taitz

A U.S. District Court judge dismissed the latest lawsuit from lawyer/dentist/crusader Orly Taitz, dealing yet another blow to her quixotic quest to force President Obama to prove his citizenship. Taitz had asked the court to remove Obama from office if he couldn't provide documentation of his birth in the U.S. (fake birth certificates don't count!). Judge David Carter said she was basically asking the court to violate the Constitution. And then he defended himself against the accusations he knows are coming.

"Plaintiffs have attacked the judiciary, including every prior court that has dismissed their claim, as unpatriotic and even treasonous for refusing to grant their requests and for adhering to the terms of the Constitution which set forth its jurisdiction," Carter wrote. "Respecting the constitutional role and jurisdiction of this Court is not unpatriotic."


Orly Taitz, getting schooled by judges since 2009.
