Orly Taitz Appealing Supreme Court Smack Down Of Birther Case

Birther queen Orly Taitz isn't backing down in her fight against being forced to pay a $20,000 fine slapped down by a federal judge last year for filing "frivolous" litigation aiming to challenge President Obama's citizenship.

Earlier this week, the U.S. Supreme Court denied a motion filed by Taitz to block her from being hit with the penalty.

Talking Points Memo reports that the Israeli dentist-lawyer -- whose claim to fame has stemmed from mounting repeated legal assaults against the president's eligibility -- is seeking to appeal the high court's decision:

Taitz has filed a "motion for reconsideration" with the court, according to documents posted on her web site, claiming that she has new evidence that President Obama is not an American citizen.

The new evidence for Taitz comes in the form of a video posted to the White House website last week. The clip features the president pointing to his passport, highlighting the stamps within its pages from countries to which he's traveled.

Taitz says the footage tells her that the government-issued documentation was falsified, calling it "newly discovered evidence of fraud."

The appeal filed by Taitz against the Supreme Court's ruling states:

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure allow a motion for reconsideration to be granted, when new evidence was discovered, a mistake of law or fact occurred or if it is warranted in the interest of justice. This Honorable court is requested to reconsider this Application for emergency stay and/or injunction 10A56 as to the sanctions due to newly discovered evidence of fraud on this honorable court, forgery of passport records, uttering, obstruction of justice, committed by Barack Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, aka Barry Soebarkah, President of the United States (hereinafter Obama) in order to improperly influence this Honorable court in it's August 16, 2010 decision on application for stay and reversal of $20,000 sanctions against a political dissident attorney Dr. Orly Taitz, as a punishment for her representation of members of the US military, questioning legitimacy of Barack Obama for the position of the President and Commander-in-Chief.

"I know that sooner or later the truth will be out and my legal efforts will be vindicated and probably will be part of history books," said Taitz earlier this summer. "I know that the moment one judge order discovery or reverses prior ruling, the hounded will end and many will have an egg on their faces."

Here's the full text of the appeal filed by Taitz:

The screenshot of the President's passport photo under the entry and exit visa stamps is likely a pasted in Visa page issued by the visited nation. My old passport is not handy but I believe it had a similar page for visits to India.

Perhaps Orly should 'reconsifer' her position on it.

The Vatican And United Nations Ready For Alien Contact?

Will Taitz and the other birthers now be asking if Obama was born on Earth? But wait, how do we know that Taitz was born on Earth?

Sounds like a job for the Men in Black...

I hope, for her sake, this is not exactly how the thing reads, but a "Motion for Reconsiferation" [sic]? For crying out loud, you should at least spell check a pleading before you file it with the Supreme Court.

They should tack on another $20K fees just for that.

This is ridiculous. The citizenship of the PRESIDENT of the United States is challenged by someone who was not born here herself. But millions of people who were born here is so filled with hate that they will follow her. Only in America.

Poor Orly, she needs to draw more attention to herself.

When does this nut has time to pull teeth, sell homes, or take on cases?

Could you imagine having your teeth pulled by this nut?

" ... Taitz says the footage tells her that the government-issued documentation was falsified, ... "
Taitz ... you claim of falsification is probably based on your previous claim of out-of-country birth as in you are most likely claiming Hawaii is not his birth place. That's what I surmise as I could not see any inconsistency in the passport.

Is a "motion to reconsider" sent back to the Supreme Court the same as an appeal? I was going to say, I didn't know you COULD appeal a Supreme Court decision.

They didn't make an actual ruling. She's appealing their decision to ignore her.

She is appealing the Supreme Court's decision to not accept her appeal and allow the lower court ruling to stand. It is not that she is being ignored. Rather, they examined the case and decided against taking her case on appeal. Therefore, the lower court's decision to fine her $20,000 is considered the final word on her case. She will have to pay the fine.

She's kind of like a tick.
Really gross, could cause a disease or two and should be plucked off with a tweezers and held over a lighter until she pops.
So how much money is she wasting chasing bullcrap? And/or who is laughing til they pee themselves that she fell for this and is actually under the impression that it's true?

She's got talent for nutty self-promotion. It's a wonder she's kept her license to practice law. Come to think of it, it's a wonder she was able to get licensed in the first place. I've been practicing law (practice makes perfect) for more than 20 years and have very rarely run into genuinely crazy lawyers. The profession insists on good judgment (for the most part) but her recent actions suggest she has none. It's one thing to flirt with disaster but she's married it!

Is it me or does it look like she is self medicating? Or is it just a bad pic?
Either way, she's a nutter. Pit-bull with lipstick, grabs a hold of something and won't let go.

Well, she is a dentist. She might be hitting the NO2. Think Frank Booth in "Blue Velvet."
