Bunch of killjoys.

The California Republican Party unanimously endorsed Elizabeth Emken, an advocate for developmentally disabled children, to run for the US Senate against Dianne Feinstein.

Surprise reaction from Dr. Orly Tairz, Esq., who has spent two years suing Damon Dunn, the last person California Republicans endorsed instead of her:

As expected, corrupt GOP establishment endorsed an insider Washington lobbyist Elizabeth Emken for endorsement.

Well, it just happened last night. Orly is probably warming up.

Oddly and sadly suited to these times.



In yesterday’s New York Times:

Centrist Women Tell of Disenchantment With G.O.P.

But somewhere between the baby name game and the gifts, what had been light conversation took a sharp turn toward the personal and political — specifically, the battle over access to birth control and other women’s health issues that have sprung to life on the Republican campaign trail in recent weeks.

“We all agreed that this seemed like a throwback to 40 years ago,” said Ms. Russell, 57, a retired teacher from Iowa City who describes herself as an evangelical Christian and “old school” Republican of the moderate mold. Until the baby shower, just two weeks ago, she had favored Mitt Romney for president.

Not anymore. She said she might vote for President Obama now. “I didn’t realize I had a strong viewpoint on this until these conversations,” Ms. Russell said. As for the Republican presidential candidates, she added: “If they’re going to decide on women’s reproductive issues, I’m not going to vote for any of them. Women’s reproduction is our own business.” …

“I’m looking for a candidate that will be honest, that will come out and say, ‘Yes, I support women, I want you advanced and not trampled upon,’ ” said Ms. Stevens, 63, who lives near Myrtle Beach, S.C. “I want answers desperately. I want candidates to tell me, ‘I’m not overturning Roe v. Wade.’ It’s there. Leave it there.”

Ms. Russell, who changed her political views at the baby shower, said she was impressed with how Mr. Obama handled his administration’s compromise over the much-debated birth control policy, saying, “I think he’s more of a women’s candidate.”

Mr. Romney’s reaction to Mr. Limbaugh’s statements about the Georgetown student cemented a negative view of him. “I expected him to have the guts to stand up and say what Rush did was wrong,” she said. “Wrong, wrong, wrong in every sense of the word wrong.”

I haven’t kept up with Allen v. Obama, Arizona Democratic Party, in the Arizona Superior Court in Pima County, but Judge Richard E. Gordon’s Dismissal Order should make President Obama’s eligibility clear as a bell:

Most importantly, Arizona courts are bound by United States Supreme Court precedent in construing the United States Constitution, Arizona v. Jay J. Garfield Bldg. Co., 39 Ariz. 45, 54, 3 P.2d 983, 986 (1931), and this precedent fully supports that President Obama is a natural born citizen under the Constitution and thus qualified to hold the office of President. See United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649, 702-03 (1898) (addressing U. S. Const. amend. XIV); Ankeny v. Governor of the State of Indiana, 916 N.E.2d 678, 684-88 (Ind. App. 2010) (addressing the precise issue). Contrary to Plaintiff’s assertion, Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1874), does not hold otherwise.

To put a fine point on it: A natural born citizen is one who is born in the United States; parents who are citizens or not citizens, one or both, have nothing to do with anything.

There were recent court filings made available by Jack Ryan Scribd; in the newest, Allen added Pima County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s recent allegations:

Opposition to Motion to Dismiss

Motion to Dismiss

Order Setting Hearing on Motion to Dismiss

In Chambers Ruling

Hearing Minutes – 2012-02-23


Complaint for Constitutional Violations

Fogbow court observer, Poutine, attended the status hearing on Tuesday, March 6, and reports:

I showed up for the 3:30 hearing around 3pm. Without having any idea who Kenneth Allen was, I felt I recognized him sitting close to the courtroom door waiting for it to open. My suspicion was confirmed when I saw some birther-looking lady walk up to him to shake his hand and say (I think), “Hi, nice to see you again,” and then hand him a stack of mysterious papers which seemed to have “notes” typed out on them. (Note: It’s also possible that she was his friend or wife, and I misheard what she said.)

Allen looks like a birther. He is a smallish man aged in his late 50s or early 60s. He looked nervous and tightly wound up. He was wearing a shirt and tie that were all but overshadowed by what appeared to me to be a large puffy winter jacket, presumably because he does not own a formal coat that is part of a suit.

The hearing started a few minutes early. Judge Gordon is a surprisingly young-looking judge with a friendly demeanor. In appearance were two lawyers from the Pima County Attorney’s Office. Appearing by phone for the Democratic Party was Paul Eckstein from the Perkins Coie firm, Phoenix office. I won’t read much into Eckstein’s decision to appear by telephone (he says it was due to a dinner he had to attend at 5:30), except to observe that it reflected a certain level of confidence (or arrogance, perhaps deliberately signaled).

The hearing lasted about 40 minutes. The judge started it with a strange comment about his background as a former US Attorney. He felt he did not need to recuse himself because the US Attorney was not a party to this action, but asked the parties if anyone wanted to request that he recuse himself. No one did, including Allen. I disagree that he even needed to bring this up but whatever.

The Mississippi Democratic Executive Committee has filed for dismissal and sanctions against Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq., in the First Judicial District of Hinds County.

As will be discussed below, the Plaintiff’s allegations are absolutely ridiculous. The President was born in the State of Hawaii and thus is a natural born citizen of the United States.

The Defendant seeks sanctions in the form of the imposition of attorney’s fees and costs pursuant to the Mississippi Litigation Accountability Act, Miss. Code Ann. §11-55-5 and Rule 11 of the Mississippi Rules of Civil Procedure for bringing this frivolous action. Although the Plaintiff did bring her action pro se, she also is a practicing attorney and a member of the California Bar. She has been prolific in bringing lawsuits, and there is even a Wikipedia page devoted to her court crusade. http://en.wikipedia.orglwikilOrly_Taitz. Additionally, she has developed an extensive webpage at www.orlytaitzesq.com which discusses her extensive litigation activity on the “birther” issue. The Plaintiff was also sanctioned for bringing a frivolous action as discussed in Rhodes v. McDonald, 670 F.Supp.2d 1373 (M.D.Ga. 2009). Clearly, this suit is frivolous and sanctions should be imposed.

I wouldn’t hold my breath for sanctions, but dismissal seems assured.

Taitz claims to have mailed an opposition to a motion for dismissal filed by the State Attorney-General, which has been lost in the mail. You may go to her web site and see it, but I wouldn’t recommend doing that. If the document ever reaches its destination and Jack Ryan Scribd posts a trustworthy copy, I’ll let you know.

Republican Lawmaker Now Supports Obama, Says GOP Presidential Candidates ‘Would Take Women Back Decades’

Questions about women and womens’ health have dominated the political debate over the past weeks, and at least one female Republican lawmaker is unhappy with her party’s record. New York Assemblyman Teresa Sayward (R), who is retiring after serving a decade in Albany, told the New York political program Capital Tonight that she does not support any of her party’s presidential candidates, because of their stances on women.

She also took an apparent shot at Republicans’ opposition to President Obama’s birth control mandate, saying, “It’s disheartening for me to see our party move away from what it was always about and that is to stay out of people’s lives, let them live their lives, don’t impose their religion on anybody else.”

Asked which Republican candidate she supports, Sayward replied:

SAYWARD: I do not have a favorite in the presidential race, if I had to vote today, I’d vote for Obama.

INTERVIEW: Really?

SAYWARD: Absolutely… Because I really, truly think that the candidates that are out there today for the Republican side would take women back decades.

Alaska elections officials have dismissed a challenge to the placement of President Barack Obama on the ballot, saying a Juneau man who had sought the action didn’t know what he was talking about. …

State Elections Director Gail Fenumiai last week dismissed Epperly’s challenge to Obama’s ballot listing, informing him Alaska has no primary election ballot. Party caucuses make nominations in Alaska, she said.

Further, the appeals process he sought to use was for state candidates, not national executive office candidates. She told Epperly the political parties submit those candidates to the division after their conventions.

There is nothing in state law allowing Alaska to intervene in the selection of presidential candidates, Fenumiai said.

Fenumiai also told Epperly the division has been following challenges to Obama’s eligibility for office in other states.

“Our understanding is that the claims regarding President Obama’s lack of eligibility for the presidency are false and that no court has found any merit in them,” she said.

All four dismissed, we learn from Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq.*, as she endangers the lives of her dental patients:

As expected far left activist judge in Atlanta came up with complete idiocy order and dismissed all 4 cases and we are off to a more conservative Supreme Court of GA.

You can see, that her order is the same BS, as was written by Obama’s attorney. I can tell, that she did not even take a minute to read our pleadings, she did not read one single word. Her order was ready before she even got any opposition papers by the defendants. I worked on opposition and didn’t sleep at night, as I knew that I have to submit my opposition at night before the 9:35 deadline, even though I was in this case in a limited capacity in conjunction with my Petition for letters rogatory. This corrupt judge did not even read my petition and did not respond. Mr. Windsor warned me that she is among the most corrupt judges there, I could not imagine somebody that corrupt. Usually judges try to create an appearance of impartiality, this one doesn’t even give a damn about an appearance.Now I know why her lesbian lover shot her after years of a relationship. The woman is just corrupt as can be.

Anyways, we knew that and I warned my supporters, that we will have to go through the motions and go through her court on the way to the Supreme Court of GA. Now I have to jugle opposition in MS and new complaint to the Supreme Court in GA, I have my first patient in half an hour and I barely slept tonight after submitting the pleadings to Indiana and Georgia. No life.

This ballot challenge strategy has just been a raging success.

As I am not currently linking to her web site*, when Jack Ryan Scribd has the documents up, I will post the Order.

Update:

The very interesting thing about this Order is that Chief Judge Wright affirms Defense attorney Mike Jablonski’s argument in his Motion to Dismiss, which was Denied by Administrative Law Judge Malihi, before the hearing was held. Jablonski had maintained that the Secretary of State, and thereby OSAH, had no jurisdiction over a political party’s choice of candidate in presidential primaries, events that determine party delegates, who later vote in convention certifying the party’s candidate. This was the basis for the “Empty Chair” strategy deployed in the OSAH, and apparently it was sound.

The Democratic Party of Georgia properly identified Barack Obama as a candidate to whom National Convention delegates will be pledged based upon votes in the preference poll. Georgia law does not authorize the Secretary of State to exercise any discretion or oversight over the actions of a political party participating in a preference primary. Indeed, any review by the Secretary of State would interfere with associational rights of the Democratic Party guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Here is Judge Wright’s Order:

GA – 2012-03-02 – ORDER Dismissing Farrar, Swensson, Poweel, And Welden Complaints
