All of these Ballot Challenges are stupid, but this one is doubly so. An Indiana Administrative Court cannot overrule the Indiana Appellate Court.

That one was mentioned briefly on the radio on my way to work in the morning.  You have to wonder what they are thinking.  Alas, I don't think there are any sanctions available for filing frivolous administrative motions.

 

"The world is a mess and I just need to rule it." --Dr. Horrible.

The bipartisan Indiana Elections Commission unanimously rejected the challenge. The quote from the article is pretty funny.

Quote: "While the hearings over Wallace and Lugar were cordial, the hearing over Obama's eligibility to be president quickly devolved into a testy exchange between commission members and Orly Taitz, the California attorney who has become nationally infamous for her single-minded pursuit challenging Obama.

Friday, she argued that the president's surname isn't really Obama, he isn't a "natural-born citizen," and he has stolen his Social Security number.

She and two Hoosiers -- Edward Kesler and Karl Swihart -- who challenged Obama's eligibility demanded that the commission enter a default judgment against the president because he did not attend Friday's hearing to rebut their charges. The commission voted 4-0 against that.

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."

She didn't get ejected. But the challenge to the president did."


"The world is a mess and I just need to rule it." --Dr. Horrible.

I'll say one thing for Orly...she wised up after refusing the default judgement in Georgia and agreeing to argue the case on its merits. Now, it seems that she'll take the default.

Yes, she is under the delusion that the President of the United States should be chasing her around to all 50 states to personally appear in administrative hearings of every state election commission to rebut her fantasies. She is simply a lunatic.


"The world is a mess and I just need to rule it." --Dr. Horrible.

I suspect that Taitz finds this profitable for herself. If you want less of something, tax it. If you want more of something, make it profitable.

Yes, Taitz's website if full of pleas for more money and links to donate to the cause. Stunningly there remains enough stupefyingly gullible people to her "in business." The conspiracy-industrial complex can make good bucks for a few preying on the gullibility of those fools who get born every minute.


"The world is a mess and I just need to rule it." --Dr. Horrible.

MAKING MONEY WITH AN OBVIOUS LIE IS CLASSIC BEHAVIOR FOR CONNING THE STUPID. TAITZ IS MAKING BIG BUCKS. PERHAPS ONE DAY SHE'LL GO TO JAIL. SHE CERTAINLY WASTES COURT TIME.

I saw her web page one time. Nothing there interested me. I have discussed some of the issues of the birther cause but never found it had any more traction than the democrats claim that Al Gore won over Bush in 2000.

ACTUALLY THERE IS A CASE THAT CAN BE MADE THAT THE USSC SHOULD HAVE LEFT THE DECISION ABOUT THE RECOUNT OF FLORIDA TO THE HOUSE THAT THE CONSTITUTION SAYS IS THE FINAL ARBITER OF PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS. TAITZ SIMPLY IS TRYING TO ARGUE A PROVEN UNTRUTH. IF SHE THINKS SHE HAS A CASE SHE SHOULD BE FILING IT IN HA. THE STATE THAT HAS CERTIFIED THE POTUS CITIZENSHIP.

Taitz did file in Hawaii and there was a hearing there. Stunningly, she lost.


"The world is a mess and I just need to rule it." --Dr. Horrible.

TAITZ PROVES P.T. BARNUM. A SUCKER IS BORN EVERY MINUTE. IN THIS CASE IT THRIVES ON THE PEOPLE WHO HATE OBAMA BELIEVING ANYTHING ABOUT OBAMA HOPING THAT A MIRACLE WILL GET RID OF HIM. NOT EVEN STATEMENTS FROM THE REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR OF HAWAII COULD GET THROUGH THEIR FOGGY MINDS

One problem. The Florida SC erred. That mistake had to be fixed. Gore did not try to get the House to fix it, he went to several courts and lost in at least two and then the Florida SC tried to make up brand new law.
-----------------

GORE WAS CLASS AND DROPPED ANY APPEAL IT IN THE INTEREST OF THE COUNTRY. THE USSC VOTE WAS 5-4 HARDLY AN OBVIOUS DECISION.

TWAS THE GOP THAT DECIDED AGAINST UNITY ON 9/12 AND FOLLOWING ROVE'S BS TRIED TO TURN IT INTO A REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE. FDR WENT FOR UNITY AFTER PEARL HARBOR. EVEN APPOINTED THE GUY HE BEAT AS AN AMBASSADOR. I ONLY BLAME GWB FOR NOT LEADING AND ALLOWING THE NIXONITE'S ROVE AND CHANEY PUT PARTY AHEAD OF THE COUNTRY. IRONY IS THAT INSTEAD OF BUILDING A STRONGER GOP THEY JUST INCREASED THE COUNTRIES PARTISANSHIP.

By the way, if you want to read the decision of Judge Malihi of Georgia who ruled on the merits of the various Birther claims, to include the claims that the birth certificate was forged, you can do so here:

He addressed the two citizen parent argument...birthers are hopping mad that he cited Wong Kim Ark, insisting that Minor v. Happersett created a comprehensive definition of natural born citizen.

The case that reached the USSC was started by Gore. He lost. He then appealed his loss. Eventually on appeal, Gore won. Bush appealed that.

The USSC decision on the matter was 7-2 that the prior ruling in favor of Gore was wrong. The 5-4 split was over the most appropriate remedy to correct that error.

[Bob] One court and one alone sided with Gore. And it got the crap kicked out of it by the USSC. Both decisions shown by Keith proves that the Florida SC got it all wrong both times it ruled. I laughed over the claim Gore had class or was class. Gore in essense tried to cancel Florida law to get his way. And studied prove that he lost. He at no time won. Not even when it was studied and studied.

You can read Bush v. Gore yourself. 

The process went like this. 

- The Florida Elections Commission ruled that Bush won the state by 1,784 votes.

-Gore filed the initial complaint (leading to the Supreme Court case) in the State Circuit Court of Leon County.  That court denied Gore relief, dismissing the Complaint.

-Gore appealed to the Florida Supreme Court which granted him a partial recount. 

-Bush appeled tot he United States Supreme Court which decided:

     + 7-2 that the Florida Supreme Court's decision violated the equal protection clause of the Constitution.

     + 5-4 that because there was no longer time for a full recount the appropriate remedy was to affirm the Florida Elections Commission decision.
