Birther queen Orly Taitz is facing possible sanctions from a federal judge in Southern California for lying.

U.S. District Judge Andrew Guilford ordered Taitz this week to write up to 10 pages on why he should not sanction her for not disclosing a case where she is being sued for libel by another member of the birther movement, OCWeekly.com reported.Taitz had told Guilford that she was facing "minor discovery sanctions" and not a libel lawsuit. The move comes as Taitz launches her biggest move yet, a claim that she now has the power to have President Barack Obama arrested in Connecticut.

Taitz, a lawyer, dentist and real estate agent from southern California, is being sued by Lisa Liberi, a colleague of birther movement founder Philip Berg, in federal court.

Liberi alleges that Taitz contacted Berg's office in 2008 for assistance in filing her first lawsuit with the Supreme Court to block Obama from becoming president. Liberi claims that when she and Berg declined to assist her, Taitz spread false and personal information about Liberi and her husband. Berg, a former Montgomery County, Pa., Democratic Party chairman, filed the first birther lawsuit against Obama in the summer of 2008.

This week Taitz announced that she has the ability to obtain an arrest warrant for Obama in Connecticut due to a portion of the state's election code that allows "three electors" in one town to obtain an arrest warrant if they sign petitions claiming election fraud and submit it to a judge. She claims that three of her supporters in Connecticut have agreed to help her in this quest.

Taitz, who has run unsuccessfully for California secretary of state and the U.S. Senate, has been centered in recent weeks on her claims that Obama's Social Security number is from Connecticut, a state where he has not lived. She claims the number actually belonged to the late Harry Bounel, a Bronx, N.Y. man. Taitz has been trying to contact people she said lived near Bounel in 1940 to discuss his relationship with first lady Michelle Obama's step-great-grandmother, who Taitz says was related to Bounel. Taitz also claims that the first lady may have falsely claimed to have been married to Bounel in order to steal his identity for the president.

CORRECTION: This story has been corrected to reflect that Taitz is appearing before Guilford for a birther-related lawsuit. The libel lawsuit is a separate court case.

  • Obama Is Not An American Citizen

    One of the most popular Obama conspiracy theories (aka the Birther Movement), endorsed (or not denied) by the likes of <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/_263532.html">Tom Delay</a>, <a href=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/_251393.html>Lou Dobbs</a>, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/_250891.html">Chuck Norris</a> and <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/_242555.html">Liz Cheney</a>, it claims that Obama is not an American citizen, thus rendering his presidency illegitimate, or something. The theory hinges on the false claim that his birth certificate is fake. Birther queen Orly Taitz (a lawyer and dentist from California) continues to lead the march, despite her lawsuit getting <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/29/orly-taitz-lawsuit-thrown_n_338870.html">thrown out</a> and a <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/13/orly-taitz-slapped-with-2_n_318546.html">$20,000 fine</a>.

  • Obama Wants "Re-Education Camps For Young People

    Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), a proponent of many bizarre and outlandish critiques of President Obama, declared in April that the White House was trying to install <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/06/bachmann-obama-wants-re-e_n_183552.html">youth re-education camps</a>. "It's under the guise of -- quote -- volunteerism. But it's not volunteers at all. It's paying people to do work on behalf of government," said the Minnesota Republican. "I believe that there is a very strong chance that we will see that young people will be put into mandatory service. And the real concerns is that there are provisions for what I would call re-education camps for young people, where young people have to go and get trained in a philosophy that the government puts forward and then they have to go to work in some of these politically correct forums."

  • Larry Sinclair's Rabbit Hole Of Insanity

    This one is a doozy. Larry Sinclair, <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0608/11164.html">a petty criminal specializing in forgery</a>, spread wild accusations via YouTube involving <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/06/18/obama-accuser-larry-sincl_n_107900.html">gay sex, drugs and possible murder committed by Barack Obama</a>. At one point reporters apparently took Sinclair seriously enough to attend a press conference he gave, most remarkable for his lawyer's appearance in a kilt, which he explained was intended to secure comfort for his unusually large sexual organs: "Those at the other end of the spectrum find [pants] quite confining."

  • The Case Of The Fake Thesis

    In which a group of right-wingers get taken in by a satiric blog post on Barack Obama's college thesis, written ages ago, and frantically presented as real. The post, which was tagged as SATIRE, described how <em>Time</em> Magazine's Joe Klein had obtained ten pages of a thesis written by Barack Obama, in which he wrote about how the Constitution was "inherently flawed." Then Rush Limbaugh and Michael Ledeen presented this story as <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/23/fake-obama-thesis-story-g_n_332255.html">fact</a>.

  • Bill Ayers Wrote 'Dreams From My Father"

    A popular theory on right-wing websites like <a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2101151/posts">The Free Republic</a>, <a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/10/who_wrote_dreams_from_my_fathe_1.html">American Thinker</a> and <a href="http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=110784">WorldNetDaily</a>, claiming that educator (and former radical) Bill Ayers helped Obama write "Dreams Of My Father." There is <a href="http://www.obamaconspiracy.org/category/books/">no evidence</a> supporting this claim.

  • Obama As Muslim

    A theory that began circulating during the campaign season and has been kept alive by Tea Partiers, and other ultra-conservatives. It's taken different forms over the year (<a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/6516016/Will-Obama-Swearin-on-the-Holy-Koran-or-the-Holy-Bible-After-Attacking-Jesus-Sermon-on-the-Mount">Will Obama be sworn into office on Qur'an??</a>, asks one website.) Most recently Tea Party leader Mark Williams had a meltdown on CNN, and <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/15/tea-party-leader-melts-do_n_286933.html">claimed</a> that Obama was an "Indonesian Muslim" and a "welfare thug." According to Obama and those who know him, this is not so.

  • Tells America In His Acceptance Speech To "Serve Satan"

    Ever listened to Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" backwards? How about Obama's presidential acceptance speech? This video suggests that the speech, like the Zeppelin song, contains a Satanic message when played in reverse. Go ahead - take a bong hit, try it and tell us what you hear.

  • Michelle Banished Barack's Girlfriend To The Caribbean

    One of the few conspiracy theories to go after the Obamas' marriage. The claim is that Michelle banished Barack's female aide (and suspected lover) to the Caribbean.

  • Obama Is Malcolm X's Son

    Initiated by the author of the <a href="http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/10/how-could-stanl.html">Atlas Shrugged</a> blog and claiming that Obama is actually Malcolm X's son. As Ezra Klein <a href="http://www.prospect.org/csnc/blogs/ezraklein_archive?month=10&year=2008&base_name=obama_x">pointed out</a> at the time: "Honestly, who wouldn't give Malcolm props for that one?" Klein continued: "And think there's anyway we can fit Tupac into the bloodline? Or maybe Obama actually is Tupac? You know that whole shooting was some bullshit, right? Incidentally, I see no reason to stop with Malcolm. History is full of great Xs for Barack Obama to be related to. Professor X, which would explain why millions of white people lose their minds in his presence. Weapon X, which would explain the adamantium grafted onto his skeleton. XML, which would explain why it's so easy to structure his data. I'm sure there are others."
