JT, believe what you want- when the mailroom clerk signs for the Fedex package from Orly, hands it to the clerk of the court and then a week later the Judge still doesn't have it and nooobody seems to know where the papers are at-- not once, but in multiple courts----

In her case, Russia.
(maybe gets jealous of BO's natural-born status, or his Harvard education and heading up the prestigious Harvard Law Review?)
Orly Taitz is a 2002 graduate of Taft Law School (an on-line unaccredited correspondence law school). Well that explains alot, eg why she tried to serve BO by sending him an e-mail (no joke).

Here's a status on her case, Moshe:
United States District Judge Carter has dismissed a lawsuit brought by attorney Orly Taitz on her own behalf and on behalf of several other plaintiffs, including an incarcerated felon who has run for President in several states. The lawsuit contained three general claims: RICO conspiracy by Obama, federal officials, a judge and election officials in several states; voter registration irregularities relating to Ms. Taitz own campaign for Senate; and libel claims against many media organizations and figures.
Judge Carter noted that the plaintiffs had originally filed their case in California state court, but subsequently attempted to bring the case in federal court under the federal removal procedure. After citing several deficiencies in the plaintiffs' pleadings and noting that the removal procedure is not available to plaintiffs under the relevant statute, the judge determined that he had no jurisdiction to hear the case and that he was bound by the Rules of Civil Procedure to dismiss it.
On her website, Ms. Taitz did not mention the dismissal, but she did announce that she will be refiling the non-state-related claims in federal court and that she will seek a stay of the certification of the general election until her evidence can be presented.I'm loving the comments on Orly at http://www.thefogbow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=8248&start=1125
Here's one:
Over the years, I have repeatedly said that Orly's legal skills compare unfavorably with insane pro se prisoners.
I have also repeatedly said that I am not just saying this to insult Orly, but that I am in fact, deadly serious about this and am saying it because it is literally true. Insane pro se prisoners, as a class, are vastly more competent at litigation than Orly.
I note that this is one point of empirical data that supports my theory.
Orly Taitz is so phenomenally incompetent that she makes insane pro se prisoners scrawling handwritten complaints look like Clarence Darrow in comparison to her own incompetence and idiocy.Edit: And lest you think I am mocking pro se prisoners, even insane ones, by mentioning handwritten petitions, I will note that one of the greatest Supreme Court decisions, Gideon v. Wainwright, which established the right to counsel for indigent criminal defendants, was prompted by a handwritten habeas.
I'm not comparing Orly to every prisoner, though. I'm comparing her to the idiots. She's way worse than the idiots. -

BS! The vast majority of attorneys are afraid to practice in the federal courts because they are so on top of things and so carefully enforce the procedural rules. I suspect she has screwed up repeatedly, and is simply trying to 'blame the clerk.'
In addition, the federal courts use "e-filing." IF she truly wanted to make sure her documents were received, all she would have to do is electronically file, and she would have automatic, instantaneous confirmation that her documents were received.

Just think of how many tax payer dollars this woman has cost us all by her abusive use of the judicial system. One judge sanctioned her $20k, but she has cost us all much more than that.
Legal actions
[edit] Keyes v. Bowen
In November 2008, Taitz filed a lawsuit on behalf of independent presidential candidate Alan Keyes, suing California's secretary of state for allegedly failing to ascertain Obama's eligibility for president before placing him on the ballot. [ 1 ] The case was dismissed on May 4, 2009. [ 25 ] A California Court of Appeal affirmed the dismissal on October 25, 2010; [ 26 ] the Supreme Court of California declined, without comment, to review the case on February 2, 2011; [ 27 ] and the U.S. Supreme Court declined, without comment, to review the case on October 3, 2011. [ 28 ] Taitz was not counsel of record for the appeals.
[edit] Lightfoot v. Bowen
Taitz filed an emergency petition in the California Supreme Court in 2008 on behalf of Libertarian vice presidential candidate Gail Lightfoot to stop the certification of California's 2008 election results because of the challenge to Obama's eligibility. [ 29 ] The California Supreme Court denied the petition, and the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case. [ 1 ]
[edit] Barnett v. Obama
Taitz filed a lawsuit on behalf of Pamela Barnett, Alan Keyes, other candidates in the 2008 federal elections, several military personnel, and some legislators from various states alleging that Obama is ineligible to be president. On October 29, 2009, U.S. District Court Judge David O. Carter dismissed the lawsuit. [ 30 ] [ 31 ] The dismissal criticized Taitz's legal abilities, stated her behavior was "unethical", and suggested that Taitz "may have suborned perjury". [ 31 ] [ 32 ] [ 33 ] On December 22, 2011, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the dismissal. [ 34 ] [ 35 ] On June 11, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court declined, without comment, a request by litigants not represented by Taitz to hear the case. [ 36 ]
Citing new evidence, on August 14, 2012, Taitz filed a motion in Judge Carter's court to re-open the case. [ 37 ]
[edit] Cook v. Good
Taitz represented Stefan F. Cook, a major in the United States Army Reserve, who challenged orders implementing his voluntary deployment to Afghanistan because of his claim that Obama is not a legitimate president. The case was dismissed when the Army Reserve revoked his order to deploy. [ 38 ] Taitz filed an appeal in the Eleventh Circuit, which was dismissed on November 24, 2009, due to a failure to prosecute the appeal. [ 39 ]
[edit] Rhodes v. MacDonald
In September 2009, Taitz was retained by Captain Connie Rhodes, a U.S. Army physician. Rhodes sought a restraining order to prevent her forthcoming deployment to Iraq. In the request for a restraining order, Taitz argued the deployment order was illegal since Obama was illegally serving as President. On September 16, federal judge Clay D. Land rejected the motion and denounced it as frivolous. In his opinion, the judge noted that Rhodes had not previously raised any objections to orders she had received from Obama since he had been sworn in. He noted that while she seemed to have "conscientious objections" to taking orders from Obama, she did not seem to object to serving under him "as long as she is permitted to remain on American soil". Land then upbraided Taitz for using military officers as pawns to further her claims that Obama was not qualified to be President. He also expressed astonishment at Taitz's apparent misunderstanding of American judicial fundamentals, saying that she was trying to make Obama " 'prove his innocence' to 'charges' that are based upon conjecture and speculation". [ 40 ]
Within hours of Land's decision, Taitz told the news site Talking Points Memo that she felt Land's refusal to hear her case was an act of treason. [ 41 ] Two days later, she filed a motion to stay Rhodes' deployment pending rehearing of the dismissal order. She repeated her treason allegations against Land and made several other intemperate statements, including claims that Land was aiding and abetting purported aspirations of "dictatorship" by Obama. [ 42 ] Land rejected the motion as frivolous and ordered her to show cause why she should not be fined $10,000 for abuse of judicial process. [ 43 ]
Wikisource has original text related to this article: Order Denying Orly Taitz's Recusal A few hours later, a letter bearing Rhodes's signature arrived, stating that Taitz filed the motion without her knowledge or consent, asking Land to remove Taitz as her attorney of record in the case, and stating that it was her "plan to file a complaint with the California State Bar due to [Taitz's] reprehensible and unprofessional actions". [ 44 ] On September 26, 2009, Taitz filed a motion with the court seeking to withdraw as counsel for Rhodes, so she could divulge in court "privileged attorney-client communications" since the dismissed Rhodes case "is now a quasi-criminal prosecution of the undersigned attorney, for the purpose of punishment". [ 45 ]
[edit] Attorney misconduct
On October 13, 2009, Judge Clay Land ordered "Counsel Orly Taitz ... to pay $20,000 to the United States, through the Middle District of Georgia Clerk's Office, within thirty days of the date of this Order as a sanction for her misconduct in violation of Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure." Land's decision stated:
The Court finds that counsel's conduct was willful and not merely negligent. It demonstrates bad faith on her part. As an attorney, she is deemed to have known better. She owed a duty to follow the rules and to respect the Court. Counsel's pattern of conduct conclusively establishes that she did not mistakenly violate a provision of law. She knowingly violated Rule 11. Her response to the Court's show cause order is breathtaking in its arrogance and borders on delusional. She expresses no contrition or regret regarding her misconduct. To the contrary, she continues her baseless attacks on the Court. [ 46 ]
Upon learning of Land's ruling, Taitz said she would appeal the sanction, declaring that Judge Land was "scared to go against the regime" of the "oppressive" Obama administration, and that the sanction was an attempt to "intimidate" her. [ 47 ] On March 15, 2010, the Eleventh Circuit affirmed the sanctions against Taitz, ordering her to pay the $20,000 fine. [ 48 ]
In July 2010, Taitz applied to the U.S. Supreme Court to stay the enforcement of sanctions, arguing that "allowing sanctions by judge Land to stand, will signify beginning of tyranny in the United States of America and end to the Constitutional Republic which is the foundation of this nation". [ 49 ] On July 8, the application was submitted to Associate JusticeClarence Thomas; on July 15, he denied it. [ 50 ] [ 51 ] Doubting that Justice Thomas signed the denial order, Taitz claimed to have requested of Chief JusticeJohn Roberts that Thomas's signature be presented to her for verification. [ 52 ]
In the meantime, on August 9, the federal government filed an abstract of judgment, a document placing a lien in the amount of $20,000 plus interest on all her real property, [ 53 ] prompting Taitz to say, "I will pay the money, and I will continue fighting," should it happen that her application for stay is ultimately denied and that the Supreme Court consents to her request to authenticate Justice Thomas's signature. [ 54 ] On August 16, after being resubmitted to Associate Justice Samuel Alito, who in turn referred it to the full court, the application for stay was again denied. [ 51 ] [ 55 ] On January 10, 2011, the Court declined, without comment, to hear the case. [ 56 ]
[edit] Taitz v. Obama
On January 27, 2010, Taitz, in propria persona, filed a petition for writ of quo warranto. On April 14, 2010, U.S. District CourtChief JudgeRoyce C. Lamberth dismissed the petition; and, alluding to the novel Don Quixote, he wrote, "The Court is not willing to go tilting at windmills with her." [ 57 ]
[edit] Taitz v. Astrue
In February 2011, Taitz filed, in propria persona, a Freedom of Information Act suit against the commissioner of the Social Security Administration, alleging the agency improperly refused to disclose to her information about Obama's social security number. After Taitz repeatedly failed to follow the court rule regarding the redaction of social security numbers in court filings, Chief Judge Lamberth wrote that Taitz "is either toying with the Court or displaying her own stupidity… There is no logical explanation she can provide as to why she is now wasting the Court’s time, as well as the staff’s time, with these improper redactions." [ 58 ] [ 59 ] On August 30, 2011, the court granted summary judgment in favor of the government, writing "As her numerous filings with the Court demonstrate, plaintiff will stop at nothing to get to the bottom of this alleged conspiracy. Unfortunately for plaintiff, today is not her lucky day." [ 60 ] [ 61 ]
[edit] Taitz v. Fuddy
In August 2011, Taitz filed, in propria persona, a suit against the director of the Hawaii Department of Health, seeking to review Obama's "long form" birth certificate. [ 62 ] On October 12, 2011, the Hawaii Circuit Court dismissed Taitz's suit. [ 63 ]
[edit] Taitz v. Ruemmler
Taitz sought to compel White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler under FOIA to grant access to Obama's "long form" birth certificate. [ 64 ] [ 65 ] On October 17, 2011, Chief Judge Lamberth noted Taitz's "Sisyphean quest" and dismissed the suit. [ 66 ]
[edit] 2012 New Hampshire primary challenge
In November 2011, Taitz, backed by four New Hampshire state legislators, filed a complaint with the state's Ballot Law Commission challenging Obama's eligibility to compete in the primary election. [ 67 ] As Obama had paid the filing fee and his declaration of candidacy conformed to state law, the Commission unanimously voted to keep Obama on the ballot. [ 68 ] The Commission then denied a request for reconsideration. [ 69 ]
In response, Taitz wrote to William L. O'Brien, the Speaker of the House of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, and demanded the removal of Bill Gardner, New Hampshire's Secretary of State, for "egregious elections fraud, aiding and abetting fraud, forgery and possibly treason." D.J. Bettencourt, House Majority Leader of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, wrote to Taitz and called her actions "unbecoming of any legitimate political dialogue, nevermind one as ridiculous as the continued obsession over President Obama's birth place." Bettencourt added, "I have spoken to the Representatives who were present and expressed to them my strong desire that they immediately disassociate themselves from you and this folly." [ 70 ]
[edit] 2012 Georgia primary challenge
Five Georgians, including one represented by Taitz, filed challenges with the Georgia Secretary of State, Brian Kemp, regarding Obama's inclusion on the March primary ballot. [ 71 ] Kemp referred the challenges to Deputy Chief Judge Michael Malihi, an administrative law judge, who denied Obama's motion to dismiss them and scheduled a hearing for January 26. [ 72 ]
On January 23, Malihi denied Obama's motion to quash a subpoena issued by Taitz to compel Obama to appear, saying that Obama did not show why he should not be at the hearing or how his testimony would not be helpful. [ 73 ] On January 25, Obama's attorney requested that Kemp halt the proceedings, and indicated that Obama would no longer participate in the litigation pending Kemp's decision. [ 74 ] Kemp denied their request and warned that their non-participation would be "at your own peril". [ 75 ]
Neither Obama nor his attorney appeared at the January 26 hearing. This normally would result in a default order, but the challengers requested Malihi to allow them to go ahead with the hearing and rule on "the merits of their arguments and evidence". [ 76 ] [ 77 ] Taitz called eight witnesses (including herself), and presented seven exhibits in support of her claims that Obama was not a natural-born citizen, has used multiple names, has multiple Social Security numbers, and used a fake birth certificate. Taitz asked Malihi to find Obama in contempt for failing to appear. [ 78 ] [ 79 ] [ 80 ]
On February 3, Malihi recommended that Obama remain on the ballot. Concerning Taitz's case Malihi wrote: "The Court finds the testimony of the witnesses, as well as the exhibits tendered, to be of little, if any, probative value, and thus wholly insufficient to support plaintiffs’ allegations". [ 77 ] [ 81 ] The Drudge Retort described the hearing as, "Empty Table 1, Orly Taitz 0". [ 82 ]
On February 6, Kemp accepted Malihi's recommendation. [ 83 ]
On February 13, Taitz filed for review, [ 84 ] [ 85 ] but on February 15 her application to appear pro hac vice was denied "at this time". [ 86 ]
[edit] 2012 Alabama primary challenge
A lawsuit filed by an Alabama citizen, Albert Hendershot, in December 2011 alleged Obama's birth certificate was forged and that he was ineligible to be on the Alabama primary ballot. [ 87 ] Taitz agreed to represent Hendershot and sought to enter the case, but it was dismissed before she could make an appearance. [ 88 ] [ 89 ]
[edit] 2012 Indiana primary challenge
On February 24, Taitz appeared as a witness on the behalf of two residents of Indiana who had filed with the Indiana Election Commission a challenge to Obama's eligibility. The challengers demanded a default judgment against Obama, as neither he nor a representative appeared at the hearing; this motion was unanimously denied by the commission.
Taitz argued that the President's surname was not Obama, that he was not a natural-born citizen, and that he was using a stolen Social Security number. "When Taitz accused the commission of a cover-up, Dan Dumezich, the Merrillville Republican who is chairman of the commission, told her that if she was disrespectful one more time, 'your butt is going to be gone.'" [ 90 ] The challenge was denied.
[edit] 2012 Mississippi primary challenge
In February 2012, Taitz sued the Mississippi state Democratic Party and the Mississippi Secretary of State alleging Obama was not a natural born citizen. Taitz accused the party of aiding and abetting in forgery and fraud when it submitted to the court a copy of Obama's birth certificate. In response, the party filed with the court a certified verification from Hawaii's State Registrar attesting to the accuracy of Obama's birth certificate. Taitz accused the registrar of being complicit with the forgery. [ 91 ]
[edit] 2012 Kansas general election challenge
On September 17, 2012, Taitz attempted to address a Kansas state board that had been reviewing a challenge to Obama's placement on the ballot, but her request to speak was denied. [ 92 ] After the hearing was over, Taitz and an Obama supporter argued, and eventually both were escorted out of the building by a police officer. [ 93 ] Taitz claimed that during the post-hearing confrontation she was threatened by African-American men behaving like "animals" and "thugs"; two Topeka community leaders who were present labeled Taitz's remarks as "inaccurate" and "racist". [ 94 ]
On September 20, Taitz filed a lawsuit in state court seeking to stay the board's actions. [ 95 ] Kansas officials moved to dismiss the lawsuit, stating that ballots with Obama's name on them have already been mailed out. [ 96 ] On October 2, the judge indefinitely postponed a hearing for an injunction preventing Obama's name from appearing on the ballot. [ 97 ]
[edit] 2012 Mississippi general election challenge
In a lawsuit initiated by Taitz, she claimed Obama's birth certificate and Social Security Number are fake, and sought to disqualify him from the ballot. [ 98 ]
[edit] Political campaigns
[edit] California Secretary of State, 2010 Republican primary
In March 2010, Taitz qualified to run for the office of California Secretary of State. At the same time, she unsuccessfully challenged the eligibility of her Republican Partyprimary opponent, former NFL player Damon Dunn, claiming that he is pretending to be a Republican. [ 99 ] Dunn had registered as a Democrat in the state of Florida in 1999, but that registration had lapsed before he filed for the Republican primary. [ 100 ] [ 101 ]
On May 12, 2010, Pamela Barnett (named plaintiff from Taitz's lawsuit Barnett v. Obama) filed a lawsuit in the Sacramento County Superior Court alleging that Dunn is not eligible to run for Secretary of State. [ 102 ]
Taitz was defeated by Dunn in the June 8 primary by a margin of about three to one, [ 103 ] losing by over 900,000 votes. [ 104 ]
On June 17, 2010, Taitz filed a lawsuit in the Orange County Superior Court contesting the election results, again alleging Dunn's ineligibility. [ 105 ] On March 17, 2011, the judge ruled against Taitz. [ 106 ] On May 1, 2012, a California Court of Appeal affirmed the superior court's ruling. [ 107 ] [ 108 ]
[edit] U.S. Senator from California, 2012 nonpartisan blanket primary
Main article: United States Senate election in California, 2012
Taitz attempted to challenge U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein in 2012, stating, "I think I do have a chance specifically because I do speak Spanish and I speak Hebrew." [ 109 ] In November 2011, Taitz trailed Feinstein by a nearly 2-1 margin. [ 110 ] A Feinstein advisor stated, "If this race plays out as a bunch of unknowns who have no serious funding, Orly Taitz will probably win the primary [along with Feinstein]." [ 111 ] (In 2012, California has a blanket primary campaign system for offices other than U.S. President, so that the top two finishers in the primary regardless of party affiliation go on to the ballot in the fall general election.) [ 112 ]
A March 2012 poll by another Republican candidate had Taitz leading the Republican field; 38% of those polled had not decided whom to vote for. On March 11, the California Republican Party endorsed another candidate, Elizabeth Emken, over Taitz. [ 113 ] Citing fears the election might be "rigged", Taitz announced her intention to work with Sharron Angle to ensure "a fair and honest election". [ 114 ]
On June 5, 2012, Emken came in second to Feinstein in the primary with about 12% of the vote and advanced to the general election; Taitz came in fifth with 3.1%. [ 115 ] [ 116 ]
In July 2012, Taitz sued to block the certification of the primary election results, alleging "rampant election fraud"; she also alleged Obama engaged in "identity fraud." [ 117 ] Her suit was denied. [ 118 ]

freydo
All we have to see are his college transcripts that he's spent a small fortune concealing.
And for what reason?
1) He was never there, or
2) It shows him as a foreign national.
And as a side issue....What national passport was he traveling under when he went to Pakistan?
And why are you branded racist for asking 2 simple legal questions?

EntirelyPossible
Freydo, all we have to see are Romney's tax records for the same period. What is he hiding? Did he not pay taxes those years? Did he file as a foreigner? Worse yet, was he in the band Foreigner?

<<<< And why are you branded racist for asking 2 simple legal questions?>>>>
Because those two simple questions have been answered ad nauseum, the "birther" issue is dead, and only the idiots/racists believe it still has legs. So, I look at birthers as either idiots or racists, or both. At this point in time, I'd be really embarrassed to argue the "birther" point of view. But, to each his or her own!

moshe
144001, how could those question have been answered?
The documents that would answer it the are sealed up, by Obama himself. How do you defend someone who won't answer questions directly? - Obama has spent 7 figures in legal fees keeps his documents sealed up- nobody pays that kind of money to guard an empty box. It's really embarrassing to see the self delusions that people go through to deny the obvious- that Obama is a liar and you have bought into his unsubstantiated narratives. Obama is mocking you all. he says- "I was born to a single mom"= not married and guess who my real daddy is?
