She arrived in Honolulu, for the fifth or sixth trip, very early this morning, on her fool’s errand to have enforced by Judge Rhonda Nishimura an uncommissioned subpoena form; one Taitz downloaded from a Georgia administrative court’s web site, there for the use by attorneys inside the State of Georgia. Taitz is passing this off as a court ordered subpoena for Loretta Fuddy, Director of Hawaii’s Health Department to you-know-what.

Today’s hearing was originally scheduled for January 26, but there was a conflict, because that’s the same day as an administrative hearing in Farrar v. Obama, a ballot challenge in Georgia. Taitz refers to these administrative proceedings on ballot challenges as “trials” and expects her unauthorized subpoena to result in her taking a direct deposition of the President of the United States; once Judge Nishimura, that is, lets Orly into the DOH vault to pore over the President’s original birth records.

Uh huh.

But, wait, what? Jill Nagamine, Assistant Attorney General of Hawaii, had a lovely welcome back to Hawaii gift waiting for Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. In a polite thank you note, posted to her web site from Honolulu, Taitz reacts:

FLOTUS: It’s A Game

The First Lady discusses the hubbub around Jodi Kantor’s new book, The Obamas, released yesterday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — First lady Michelle Obama is challenging assertions she has forcefully imposed her will on White House aides and says people have inaccurately tried to portray her as “some kind of angry black woman.”

Mrs. Obama tells CBS News she has not read New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor’s new book that characterizes her as a behind-the-scenes force in the Executive Mansion, whose strong views often draw her into conflict with President Barack Obama’s top advisers. …

Asked specifically about an assertion of dissension between herself and Emanuel, now the mayor of Chicago, the first lady said she has “never had a cross word” with him. The same, she said, applies to Gibbs, whom she described as “a good friend, and remains so.”

“I’m sure we could go day to day and find things people wished they didn’t say to each other,” Mrs., Obama said. “And that’s why I don’t read these books. … It’s a game, in so many ways, that doesn’t fit. Who can write about what I feel? What third person can tell me what I feel?”

When Mitt Romney Came To Town

When Gingrich turns evil, he does it good.

Though the full documentary has yet to be released, a three-minute trailer posted on Winning Our Future’s website features interviews with people who worked at companies taken over by Bain, who bash Romney while a narrator accuses him of “exploiting dozens of American businesses.”

Romney’s campaign has cried foul over the movie’s line of attack, asserting it plays into Democrats’ hands by vilifying capitalism and mischaracterizing Romney’s days at the helm of the investment firm Bain Capital. And some conservatives have suggested funny business, questioning the money and motives behind the movie, which is likely to become a major force in the coming days.

The pro-Gingrich super PAC Winning Our Future – fueled by a $5 million contribution from casino magnate Sheldon Adelson – intends to use the movie as the basis for a hard-hitting multimillion-dollar advertising campaign targeting Romney this week in South Carolina.

Hendershot v. Kennedy (Alabama Democratic Party)–DISMISSED

Failing to have Judge Helen Shores Lee recused for being a Democrat, Birther Al Hendershot’s election challenge got the old GTFOOMC this morning. Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. who would have had the Judge recused for being an African-American, well, she wasn’t there to help Hendershot screw things up. He did it all on his own.

Tweet of the day:

Weld for Birmingham @SecondFront

Before the hearing, attorney Ragsdale noted Hendershot didn’t have counsel. “Sometimes, the Lord makes the fish big and the barrel small.”

Ragsdale, who said, “They started this fight. We are going to finish it,” filed the Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Subject Matter Jurisdiction on January 7.

Fogbow court observer, Talladega Knight, makes this preliminary report:

Here’s a quick report. I’m going to meet Eric Holder at the coffee shop. [OFGS--Joke] I’ll make a longer one from there.

First, all DENINED. Mr. hendershot (who is Cuban-American) first filed a motion for the judge to recuse herself because she is… A Democrat! Then he filed a motion to withdraw his case. Then she ruled on Mr. rags dales motion to dismiss. Buh-bye Big Al.

There were a number of observers in the courtroom and I’d say that out of 10 of them, 6-7 clearly supported Obama. also a lot of press. Not too many Al supporters there, maybe 5. mr. hendershot was very respectful, said its not about race. It was a cordial hearing, everyone was respectful and professional.

Briefly: rags dale argued that the courts don’t play a role in this. He asked that the court rule that no court in Alabama has jurisdiction so we can stop this now. They will just refile if not. The judge declined, but said she would provide a written order for her ruling this afternoon.

Sorry for the typos. Eric is waiting.

Update: From a local blogger at Weld Second Front:

According to a post on Judge Mark Kennedy’s Facebook profile, the dismissal was appealed in St. Clair county just hours after the hearing. Judge Kennedy was also made aware of another similar filing in Jefferson County today.

“Within less than two hours AFTER the Jefferson County Circuit Court dismissed the ‘birther’ lawsuit filed against me, I have been sued AGAIN by another person in Jefferson County claiming the same thing,” Kennedy wrote. “Talk about clogging up the court system….”

Kennedy wrote that he would ask for legal fees when he opposes the next round of birther suits, and in a later post called on Republicans “to put a stop to this since they are all over Democrats about filing frivolous lawsuits!”
