Attorney facing penalties wants birth docs for defense
February 13th, 2010
A California lawyer who has shepherded several of the high-profile legal challenges to Barack Obama’s eligibility to be president has filed a pleading in federal court in Washington, saying she faces a $20,000 penalty and a threat to her law license and needs the president’s birth documents to defend herself.
Attorney Orly Taitz told WND she submitted the pleading today to Chief Judge Royce Lamberth of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
Taitz said she applied for a preliminary injunction, because her understanding of the rules of procedure for the district court shows a hearing or decision must be returned within 20 days.
Among the cases she has handled have been one in California on behalf of presidential candidate Alan Keyes which now is on appeal, another in Georgia on behalf of Maj. Stefan Cook and yet another in Georgia on behalf of Capt. Connie Rhodes.
WND has reported efforts to raise the question of Obama’s eligibility at the state and national levels since before the 2008 election.
Numerous lawsuits have been filed alleging Obama did not meet the U.S. Constitution’s requirement that a president be a “natural born citizen.” The lawsuits have asserted he either was not born in Hawaii as he claims or was a dual citizen because of his father’s British citizenship at the time of his birth.
The Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, states, “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.”
However, none of the cases filed to date has been successful in reaching the plateau of legal discovery so that information about Obama’s birth could be obtained. Most have been dismissed at the lower court level based on judges’ decisions that the plaintiffs did not have “standing” – or the prospect of a personal injury in the cases.
Taitz’ filing in Washington argues she’s facing a $20,000 penalty imposed by Judge Clay D. Land in the Rhodes case and possible action by the California Bar Association, to which Land forwarded his highly critical order.
“Plaintiff is seeking a preliminary injunction … to obtain the vital records of the defendant prior to the February 26 deadline for document and response submission of the response by the plaintiff to the [California] bar,” she wrote. “Plaintiff is seeking a preliminary injunction within 20 days, as prescribed by LCvR 65.1 (d) to be scheduled by the court prior to March 1.”
She said the U.S. Supreme Court has concluded, in a previous case, a sitting president “has no immunity from civil law litigation against him from acts done before office and not related to the office.”
Taitz stated she has “a unique standing to bring this case as she suffered unique damages and she was … harmed by the actions of the defendant.”
Her “Defend Our Freedoms Foundation” has been under repeated hacker attacks. She operates through a mailing address of 29839 Santa Margarita Parkway, Suite 100, Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif., 92688.
“Obama has refused to unseal any of his original vital records,” she said. “No one was allowed to see his original birth certificate, college application records, financial aid forms or his medical records,” she argues. “The only record Obama presented was a short version Certification of Live Birth issued in 2007 which didn’t provide the name of the hospital, name of the doctor in attendance or signatures of any witnesses.
“In light of the fact that the state of HI statute 338-17 allowed foreign born children of Hawaiian residents to get Hawaiian birth certificates and statute 338-5 allowed birth certificates to be obtained without any corroborating documents from any hospitals, there is no verifiable prima facia evidence of Obama’s birth in Hawaii,” she argues.
“Plaintiff is seeking an order by this honorable court directing the defendant to release by February 26, 2010, his original birth certificate, which was allegedly obtained based on the defendant’s birth in Kapi’olani hospital in Hawaii [in 1961],” she seeks.
She’s also asking for school and university records as well as passport records.
“When one compares the weight of hardships on both parties, the hardship on the plaintiff greatly outweighs the hardship on the defendant,” she said.
She argued that the U.S. attorney’s office should not handle Obama’s defense.
“In case the U.S. attorney’s office is not recused and it is found that the defendant has committed federal criminal offenses, the same U.S. attorney’s office will be prosecuting him, which will deny him fair trail.”

Way to go Orly! You’ve been harmed so you have standing. Hey… things are looking good!
February 13th, 2010 at 10:58 pm
WOW that’s impressive! I pray that she gets somewhere this time! Dr. Manning might not have to have his trial afterall. lol Wouldn’t THAT be lovely!!
February 13th, 2010 at 11:11 pm
I want this trial to go forward because ALL of the American people need to know the unabashed truth and NOT swept under
the carpet.I do however wish Dr.Taitz every success for all of the abuse that she has suffered.

Please someone explain to me….in Orly’s site, on the last 2 pages of her preliminary injuntion, it looks like Judge Lamberth has ruled for Obama to show all of his records by 2/26/10. Am I not reading this right? Also, it looks like Mario Appuzo has gotten the same ruling in his case by the same judge and Obama has asked for more time. Is this correct?

Thistle, I hope you get the answer to your question because I can not pull up Orly’s site because she has a virus on her site and my security will not let me in it tells me that a trojan has been found. I am afraid to visit her site for this very reason. I know that she has had a difficult time with these obots. I pray that she stays safe and I admire her for her courage and love for our country. God Bless her and the USA.

Thanks for trying Ann Marie. Orly doesn’t have a virus on her site. The Obots have hacked into there and keep putting up that message to keep people from going in there, but each time she has her site scanned….there’s no virus. Anyway, here’s the link to the preliminary injunction. Check out the last 2 pages. Hope this link works:

Feb. 26th, 2010 is the hearing before Judge Lamberth on Orly Taitz’s “Proposed Order”, which means the Judge has not ruled on this matter.
It appears in Orly Taitz’s case, she is asking for all of usurper obama defendant’s documents but obama has NEVER proven in fact he was NOT in fact born in Mombosa, Kenya or even what his actual “legal” name is; so why is Orly Taitz “strickly” asking Judge Lamberth to order usurper to produce all birth documents from Kapiolani hospital in Hawaii on 08/04/061?????
Why didn’t she specify Mr. Obama has the burden to prove EXACTLY where he was born? With this huge cover up, NOBODY should assume Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii. In fact, well documented EVIDENCE suggests barry soetoro/barack hussein obama was born in Mombosa, Kenya.
Also important to note: Well over one long year ago reports online stated an obsolete special “printer” (photo printer shown online) was purchased back in April 2008 & individuals suggested usurper obama gang would have plenty of time to print a “bogus” birth certificate from this old fashioned printer & they were merely waiting until the ink dryed. Reports online suggested well over one year ago, ANYBODY can forge a “bogus” document from anywhere.
Forensic experts will certainly be called in for verification.
Proposed Order
Defendant is ordered to release by February 26,2010 his original birth certificate, which was allegedly obtained based on the defendant‟s birth in Kapiolani hospital in Hawaii on 08.04.61.
Defendant is ordered to release his birthing (birth or labor and delivery) file from Kapiolani Hospital by February 26, 2010.
I also took into consideration Ms. Taitz has been fighting an uphill battle to prove Mr. Obama is legitimate but why give him such a wide opening to produce another “bougus” birth certificate?

Thanks Thistle #6 for posting the link for Dr. Orly’s Preliminary Injuction. Sure hope this works!!

Below is the exact article referencing the obsolete “printer” located at:

or DefendUSx
The date of purchase I gave was Apr. 08 - it was April 2009.
1960 Birth Certificate printer sold on April 16 2009

This article was originally posted on April 20 and would serve as a reminder that the machine Obama’s original birth certificate would have been printed on, is the same model sold below on April 16 at a UK onlie auction. It also follows the timeline according to a poster, who said an inside source related information that a new forgery was being worked on, and would be “one-two months” tops before coming out. If this would be true, there is until the end of this week before that deadline passes.
These things are scarce, and not only this, any that are available no longer work, which narrows it down to a precious few. Granted, the ones no longer working can be repaired, but may not be so easy to do.
Thanks to Rhonda for finding this on Google’s cache server (will probably be scrubbed though). I can hear someone at the Obama administration now “Tell Soros at Google (George’s Son works there in management) to make sure their dam cache servers’ are scrubbed for any long-form forgery content!). Who knows, but this is yet another coincidence, at about 1 million to 1 odds of happening, with this model around this time etc.

The Preliminary Injunction from Judge Lamberth is indeed good news!
My prayers are with Orly and with Judge Lamberth that he will do right by the American people and the Constitution.
Divided loyalty is divided loyalty, and Obama has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that his loyalty is not with the Judeo/Christian nation he has illegally taken control of.
Thankfully, our military and our Joint Chiefs are perfectly capable of maintaining national security levels overseas, even if the intelligence apparatus that Obama has put in place continues to falter.
Obama and Holder were just trying to overload the courts for obvious reasons!!

Thistle,
The posted document is a suggested course of action, and not a judge’s order.
Therefore it has no legal authority. I printed it out to make sure I had a copy, there is no judge’s signature, and the request is for the judge to follow the recommendations of Orly’s brief.
I would like it very much if discovery was granted now that Orly has Standing and injury.
I am willing to contribute funds to help her pay the fine if there are people who also are interested in seeing the right thing done.
Go girl!!!

I think Orly should use this as her plea….
“Well your honor, you’ve fined me $20,000 for bringing a frivolous lawsuit before this court; then, your honor, prove it by presenting the documents that it is just that. As they say, and no pun intended, the ball’s in your court”

We need to take back our country so badly. Here is the link to the Articles of Freedom, which is what came out of the Continental Congress held in St. Charles, IL in November 2009. The deadline is April 19, 2010. Please take this link and spread it all over the internet and email your friends to do the same. Orly spoke at the Continental Congress but I was unable to hear her speak as the video was scrubbed from the website.
