Supreme Court Rejects Appeal Filed By Birther Queen Orly Taitz

Orly Taitz Birther Lawsuit

01/10/11 10:03 AM ET   AP

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from a lawyer who has been in the forefront of the challenge to President Barack Obama's citizenship.

The high court on Monday did not comment in refusing to hear the appeal filed by California lawyer and dentist Orly Taitz. She was contesting a $20,000 fine for filing what a federal judge determined was a frivolous lawsuit.

The suit was filed on behalf of Army Capt. Connie Rhodes, who sought to avoid deployment to Iraq by claiming Obama wasn't born in the United States and thus, is ineligible to be president and commander in chief.

This women is clearly insane or close to it. Do you think the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court would swear in a non american citizen as POTUS? Not hardly! Get a life and as for this "ding bat" send her back to Israel.

This gal's going to have to be struck by lightning before she lets go, just like a big ol' snappin' turtle! She's just about as pleasant to be around, I imagine.

An obnoxious, heavily accented, foreign woman who speaks with an irritating tonality and makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Under what rock did the GOP find this vermin?

Why is she continually appearing on TV?

Isn't it illegal to file frivolous law suits? Can't the legal system be used to put an end to this woman's histronics?

It does seem she is getting far too judicial attention. Could be she's still thinking there's a book deal out there just waiting for her signature.

It IS illegal to file frivolous lawsuits. That's why she was fined $20,000 - that's what she was contesting. I think she should be fined again for taking up the Supreme Court's time.

Yes, a Georgia judge fined her $20,000 for bringing a frivolous lawsuit and for wasting the court's time. She was trying to get out of paying the $20,000, but apparently she is going to have to cough it up!

With all honesty, the woman's plight is not important to me. Therefore, I was uninformed of the specifics of this case. Thanks for the feedback.

Republicans propose no valid or viable solutions for the issues facing Americans. The second
President Obama was sworn in the Republicans said NO to everything connected to the
president. Disrupting town hall meetings-tea party rallies. the constant obstructionism buy
republicans & the tom-tom beat of the right wing media with constant propaganda bought
by millions of Americans some who turned to violence. It's time to knock it off & give decency
a chance. Orly Taiz. Who is she & why are people listening to her?
