Orly Taitz Challenge To Obama Ballot Eligibility Rejected By New Hampshire Election Officials

New Hampshire's Ballot Law Commission rejected unanimously Friday "birther queen" Orly Taitz's argument to keep President Barack Obama off the presidential ballot because she insists that the president's birth certificate is a fake.

"A child can see this is a forgery," she said in her testimony. She also alleged the president did not have a valid social security number.

The commission, however, rejected her bid to have Obama removed from the ballot, according to the Concord Monitor:

"Is there any decision, any place, by any body -- adjudicatory body -- to the questions you're asking?" said the chairman, Bradford Cook. "Because they've been asked a lot of places."

"No, but --" Taitz began.

"No," Cook said. "Thank you."

"Traitors!" shouted one woman after the committee voted. "Shame on you!" shouted a man. The committee said it did not have the jurisdiction to consider the validity of the birth certificate.

Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961. Obama's presidential campaign released a digitally-scanned birth certificate, and the White House released the long-form document in April. Some, however, still refuse to believe that the president was born in the United States.

Taitz took her case last month to Arizona, where she spoke to Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio at a local Tea Party meeting about his "Cold Case Posse" investigating the president's birth certificate. She is running for U.S. Senate in 2012 in California.

"Saying a treasonous liar can go on our ballot?" yelled Republican state Rep. Harry Accornero after the commission announced its decision, according to the Monitor. "You're going to have to face the citizens of Laconia. You better wear a mask."

The Huffington Post's Jordan Howard reported that Accornero recently sent an email to every New Hampshire state representative saying Obama "has crossed the line, and under Article III section 3 of our Constitution is guilty of treason by giving aid and comfort to the enemy and attempting to overthrow our government from within."

I am very confused. I am an Australian National and my husband is Canadian.

While visiting the united states I prematurely gave birth to my son. The nurse told me I had 15 days to file with the Social Security Department so he could get his SS#.

I was stunned. Just because he popped out in Los Angeles doesn't make him American.

We were back home in Australia 4 weeks later.

My parents are English (living back in England), but that doesn't make me a Londoner.

What is up with this birth location vs nationality?

I was born in, grew up in, and live in Australia. My husband moved there for work, but he is still Canadian, as is his entire family. My family are all British, and live in England.

Can someone explain to me what problem you are having with Barak Obama being born to an American Mother on American soil and being raised for the first few years in America?

Doesn't that make him American?

I hear that Orly Taitz is a transgendered former KGB agent. His original name was Orville Taitz, prior to having his male genitalia removed. I question why anyone would allow a non-citizen with ties to Putin and the former KGB dictate who can run on American ballots.

Mr Orville Taitz should have to provide convincing documentation that he is an American born citizen, his original gender and convince the American people that, despite his obvious "Moose and Squirrel" accent, that his loyalties lie anywhere other than with Russia.

...and none of that phony photoshopped documentation either.

Taitz has made other Obama-related claims, including:

- A number of homosexuals from Obama's former church have died mysteriously.
- Obama has dozens of Social Security numbers, and his passport is inaccurate. Taitz claims that a person who was cooperating with the FBI in connection with Obama's passport died mysteriously, "shot in the head".
- A Kenyan birth certificate with the name "Barack Obama" is authentic.
- Obama's first act as President was to donate money to Hamas, which she claims will be used to build Qassam rockets.
- Obama, or someone connected to him, has made threats to Taitz's life and vandalized her car.
- Obama is having the Federal Emergency Management Agency build internment camps for "Anti-Obama dissidents".
- Osama bin Laden was killed years ago, with his body kept on ice, and the announcement of his death was timed to divert attention from an upcoming court case she is litigating challenging Obama's citizenship.

Taitz's other claims:

- Goldman Sachs runs the United States Treasury.
- Baxter International has developed a bird flu vaccine that kills people.
- Representative Alcee Hastings and the House of Representatives are planning to build at least six labor camps.
- Hugo Chávez owns the software that runs American voting machines,
- FactCheck is untrustworthy because of its links to the Annenberg Foundation.

A child can see that Mr. Taint is bananas.

Sorry Charlie- or JacklynD. We taxpayers are indeed footing the bill for not only the Justice Department lawyers that have to respond to this idiots numerous and stupid filings, but we also foot the bill for all the federal court employees who have to handle the reams of wasted paper that this fool keeps filing. She has filed in every federal court in the nation and each judge has thrown out the case. This has gotten past ridiculous and I am so sick of hearing about this foolish and stupid woman. I wouldn't let her do dental work on me- let alone have her file any "legal" documents because she doesn't know what she is doing.

I find it hard to believe that this "Orly Taitz" character is a real human being. It is simply too absurd, too ridiculous, too nonsensical. I prefer to think Orly Taitz is Sacha Baron Cohen's newest character, and that he has been playing her for all this time in order to make the funniest movie ever. That makes more sense to me than the idea that Orly Taitz is a real person. Look carefully... It's clearly Sacha Baron Cohen wearing makeup and a wig, with a stuffed bra under his pantsuit! His best character yet! First there was Borat, then there was Bruno, now there is Orly!

Sen. Howard concurs with Trumbull's construction:

"I concur entirely with the honorable Senator from Illinois [Trumbull], in holding that the word "jurisdiction," as here employed, ought to be construed so as to imply a full and complete jurisdiction on the part of the United States, whether exercised by Congress, by the executive, or by the judicial department; that is to say, the same jurisdiction in extent and quality as applies to every citizen of the United States now." http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage?collId=llcg&fileName=073/llcg073.db&recNum=16

Minor v Happersett:
"it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens" http://supreme.justia.com/us/88/162/case.html

Last but not least...

Representative John Bingham of Ohio, Father of the 14th Amendment, confirms the understanding and construction the framers used in regards to birthright and jurisdiction while speaking on civil rights of citizens in the House on March 9, 1866:

"I find no fault with the introductory clause [S 61 Bill], which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of PARENTS NOT OWING ALLEGIANCE TO ANY FOREIGN SOVEREIGNTY is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN"

The LAW he was referring to was the Civil RIghts Act of 1866 which states:

"Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That all persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power, excluding Indians not taxed, are hereby declared to be citizens of the United States;"
http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/reconstruction/section4/section4_civrightsact1.html

Everyone seems to forget the phrase "subject to the jurisdiction", which is why the Law/Amendment went astray. If you look at the congressional debates when they were writing the 14th Amendment, you will find the truth and you will see that the 14th Amendment has been 100% perverted!

What exactly did "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" mean to the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment? Luckily we have Sen. Lyman Trumbull, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, author of the Thirteenth Amendment, and the one who inserted the phrase:

"The provision is, that 'all persons born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens.' That means 'subject to the complete jurisdiction thereof.' What do we mean by 'complete jurisdiction thereof?' NOT OWING ALLEGIANCE TO ANYBODY ELSE. That is what it means." http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage?collId=llcg&fileName=073/llcg073.db&recNum=14

Nothing. Its just a self-hating birther. She lies by omission. Case in point: Minor V Happersett. They always leave this part of the paragraph off:

"Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their [p168] parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts."

http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/historics/USSC_CR_0088_0162_ZO.html

Yeah, it shows that their "holy grail" case is not so "holy" as the court specifically said they weren't going to address the issue. this was only dicta.

These people the birthers are all on another sense of reality. They need to go after the corrupt politicians who outright accept campaign money and execute and approve legislation and laws for their respective special interest. Where were all these people opposing Obama about being a socialist when President Bush was passing out checks, free money to people to go and shop? Where were all these people when Bush was prosecuting a war for his special interest groups benefit the military industrial complex and oil companies, where were these people? Where were these people when Bush was taking our freedoms away with the patriot act? Where were all these people when Bush was bailing out corporations in August, Septe,ber and October 2008? All of these people are hypocrits, everyone of them.

Folks you need to watch this entire video. At first I just wanted to see the comments. My curiosity got the best of me and it further proves she has an agenda. The crones who testified as if they were experts further proved their ignorance. Amazing how so many become experts in the constitutional law of facts.

It will be interesting to hear the historians fifty years from now on how this man was treated and if these accusations were justified even though it has been proven about his birth right. Shame on those who use this issue for their under handed agenda.

The only good thing about this is it is on tape for those to see how many have acted.

This is so sick. Just who is this woman? Where does she get her backing and why would she care this much? I just know for sure if there was anything in those claims, it would have been brought up by Hilary and/or John McCain during the last election. If they didn't have any evidence of it, then why should we believe this woman? I still want to know who backs her.

The Battle of the Debt Ceiling in 2011 was compared by prominent Conservatives with the Battle of Gettysburg, and particularly with Pickett's Charge. It was a telling error, and the mistake reveals how fragile and weak this supposed Conservative onslaught really is.

"After the Charge – The Defeat of Conservatism" examines the thinking that is undermining Conservatism. The historical parallels between modern Conservatism and 19th century secessionism are examined, and some meaningful ideas that might save Conservatism from intellectual irrelevance are examined.
