I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

Another Orly Taitz Birther Case Bites The Dust

This time, it’s the lawsuit she filed in Washington, D.C. in her own name:

A federal judge has dismissed a Washington lawsuit by “birther” activist Orly Taitz challenging President Barack Obama’s citizenship.

Taitz, a dentist and lawyer from California known for her occasional TV news appearances, filed a “quo warranto” complaint challenging Obama’s status as a natural born citizen and demanding that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton provide a copy of the president’s birth certificate.

The case landed with Chief Judge Royce Lamberth of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, who, suffice it to say, was having none of it.

“This is one of several such suits filed by Ms. Taitz in her quixotic attempt to prove that President Obama is not a natural born citizen as required by [the] Constitution,” Lamberth wrote in a decision published on April 14. “This Court is not willing to go tilting at windmills with her.”

Taitz is lucky Judge Lamberth didn’t sanction her sua sponte. Of course, there is the inevitable Motion for Reconsideration, so hold on to your hats.

Opinion:

TAITZ v OBAMA (QW) – 23 – MEMORANDUM OPINION – dcd-04502943496.23.0
