When Clarence Thomas denies an appeal, it should be a signal that bizarro world isn't quite bizarro enough to legitimize birtherbot Orly Taitz. But no, Justice Alito decided Orly should be given the courtesy of more than a curt dismissal. Not only did he decide that, he did it despite the fact that she didn't even make the right request!

Miami Herald:

A request to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito by "birther" attorney Orly Taitz asking that $20,000 in sanctions against her be reversed was referred on Tuesday to the entire court.

U.S. District Court Judge Clay Land imposed the sanctions last year after he warned her and then gave her a time limit to explain why he shouldn't fine her in the September 2009 case of Capt. Connie Rhodes, who questioned the legitimacy of Barack Obama's presidency.

Taitz appealed the sanctions to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta. That court upheld the sanctions in March, and Taitz sent an application for stay to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on July 8. Thomas denied it a week later.

Taitz then refiled it with Alito on Aug. 4. That request was referred on Tuesday to the entire nine-member court, the Supreme Court's website states.

Got that? Taitz chose the two most conservative teabagging justices on the U.S. Supreme Court. One declined; one accepted, at least to the extent of passing it around to the rest of them.

It's not like we didn't already know Alito was a reactionary hater, but this goes far beyond the pale. Orly Taitz is a half-wit publicity-seeking nutcase who has just been granted a piece of the Supreme Court's attention. I think we can safely assume Alito shares Taitz' agenda to delegitimize the President of the United States.

Oh, and poor Orly is having a problem because she's facing a lien on her property:

On Monday, a lien was filed on all of Taitz’s real property. Taitz said she wouldn’t give the government the satisfaction of taking her property or potentially her law license, adding she would pay the fine.

As of Wednesday, Taitz said on her website that she had raised $1,740 in donations.

Mason theorized that if the entire court dismisses the application for stay, it would be dismissed without consideration if she were to again refile it with another justice.

Mason is a little off on the analysis, in my opinion. Alito could have denied it summarily, too. Assuming he did so, did she expect Kennedy or Roberts to hear it?

It makes me want to go hunt down the standards for impeachment of United States Supreme Court justices. Alito may go down in history as the worst legacy of the Bush administration, even exceeding Iraq and Afghanistan.

at all.
a "birth certificate" is slang for a "certificate of live birth"

its as absurd as if a cop said "give me your drivers license please" and you handed it to him and he said "EXCUSE ME SIR THIS SAYS A LICENSE TO DRIVE ON IT NOW I WANT YOUR DRIVERS LICENSE!"

there is no difference.

I issued between 100,000 and 150,000 birth certificates aka "certificates of live birth" in my lifetime, I'm confident I know more about this stuff than you do.

Morons like orly taitz and the rest of the birthers won't believe anything they see. They'll claim the long form is a fake; they'll make other claims; they're sick in the head and hate Obama. They'll never stop, regardless of what you show them.

Your psychic abilities are impressive. You know where Obama was born without an objective 3rd party witness. You know how the "birthers" would react to a long form, if Obama had such a thing. And, you know their motivations.

"They'll never stop, regardless of what you show them."

Brilliant! You've given yourself a perfect excuse for every potential piece of evidence that you don't have which could prove your claim.

That is about a obvious a reason for impeachment as can possibly every exist.

As far as I know you can't impeach a Supreme court justice for being incompetent or arrogant. They need to meet the same standards for impeachment of the President or a member of congress. In other words, not very likely ever.

In the late 50s it was very common for pregnant women from Kansas, to make the trivially easy trip from Hawaii to Kenya to give birth in their advanced medical facilities.

Although technically there was no Kenya per se when Obama was born, the independence paperwork with the British still being sorted out and all...

Also, it is totally feasible for an undocumented foreign national to go to Ivy League schools, become a state senator, an US senator, and then run for president. An illegal friend of our gardener José just did that as a matter of fact.

See the problem in this case is that you are limited by such trivial things such as logic, common sense, and reality. Whereas the common wingnut is not slowed down by such "handicaps"

Is just like that. Sure he's almost 450 pounds and bedridden. But he was the youngest black belt in America at age 5. Then he had to learn how to repair cars at the age of 11, and ran out of money because people cheated him out of money. But then he was a poker champion in Vegas, but he spent all of his money on learning to drive stock cars, and only missed being a professional by half a car length, then crashed. Now he's unemployed after being fired from a janitorial job or something for taking too many sick days.

It must be something in the water...

Perhaps Oily Taints threatened to make Alito's wife cry if he didn't do as she asked.

The fact that Justice Alito is on film/tape commenting negatively on President Obama's State of the Union speech (during said speech) should be proof that he is not impartial on this matter and should recuse himself to any and all matters related to it that comes before the Court.

Bush really did ruin just about as much of America as he could.
No wonder he was smirking all the time.

Don't worry, it wasn't personal. He just wanted all the ill gotten money he could get his hands on. The people didn't even factor in.

Is Obama legally allowed to be president? I honestly don't know about the personalities on either side of the debate. I make it a point not to follow any of these idiots, but it's certainly interesting that this thing won't go away, and that the facts are so hazy. I mean, how hard is it to prove once and for all the circumstances and location of your birth? Any one of us could do it. If he's legit, this issue should be dead a long time ago. I can't imagine any reason for this being so persistent, except that it's true.

This is really hilarious.

Except now Alito has opened it up again.

Barack Hussein Obama's birth certificate, is the property of the State of Hawaii, and is entrusted by law to the State Registrar.

not even the Governor of Hawaii has the legal authority to view the original record.

good luck making the argument that the feds have the right to view a state's private property, documenting a citizen's self identification, on a hunch! =)

So, people are bringing all these lawsuits, and, if I understand this right, it persists because the Obama people refuse to release all the relevant documents. That doesn't strike anyone as curious? Also, just at a glance, it seems to me the accusers are taking the correct approach, seeking to resolve the whole thing in court, through the legal channels we're supposedly allowed under our system. The opposition's only answer is trying to end the discussion through name calling and other ad hominem methods. In point of fact, that's what all the comments here are about. Just denigrating and shouting down the people you've been trained to dislike.

I think you guys are reading this whole thing upside-down. Logic tells us there can't be any possibility except that these "birthers" are right, otherwise they would have been allowed to make fools of themselves in court, and this issue would be dead and buried a long time ago.

JustMyWords's picture

'The Obama people refuse to release all the relevant documents' is factually incorrect.

Obama released his records years ago. What the birthers are demanding is a document that is not in his possession, and does not belong to him - the long form birth certificate. THAT is the property of the state of Hawaii, and can only be released in accordance with state law. Which means that it cannot be released to the birthers, or to anyone else.

Just for giggles, try to get a birth certificate for someone, from any state. What you'll find is that you cannot request someone else's birth certificate. You have no legal right to it, no matter what reason you may think you deserve it.

The birthers are demanding that the state of Hawaii be ordered by the federal government to break the law and give them a document they have no legal right to. This is not a request that can be given its day in court - they have no legal standing to make the request, and the federal government has no legal standing to order the request filled.

Apparently, after Thomas denied her stay (which should have been a writ of certiorari in the first place), Taitz decided that it wasn't Thomas's signature on the decision! From the Ledger Enquirer (ATL):

Taitz said she’s filed a motion with Chief Justice John Roberts asking that Thomas’ signature be verified. She’s also filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice, she said.

This woman is apparently trying to rewrite laws and procedures out of her ass in order to avoid this fine. A US Attorney has contacted her about it, but she has said she is appealing. I think it's only a matter of time before she is arrested. Hopefully, that won't develop into some Ruby Ridge fiasco.

From the same article, apparently her request for stay does not deal with the issue of the fine. She is still arguing the "merits" of the case in regards to Obama's place of birth.

I have no idea what Alito is thinking with this crap.

Alito has refered it to the whole court so they can all tell her to go to hell together.

burnt's picture

Q - Why did the president seal his birth certificate? I heard he spent millions of dollars of legal fees keeping it from the public?

A - You heard wrong. A birth certificate is not a public document. Every state has a uniform set of laws barring anybody and everybody from ordering one, unless they are the name on record or an immediate family member. "immediate family member" means mother, father, sister, brother, maternal/paternal grandparent, son, daughter. grandchildren do not have authority to order one. step parents do not not have authority to order one. uncles/aunts/cousins do not have authority to order one. foster parents and adoptive parents can only order one when accompanied by a court order. courts and attorneys are not typically provided one when they request it unless they demonstrate a need for one on behalf of the name on record. employers do not have authority to order one, including the military.

Q - But I'm not saying I want to order one, just look at it.

A - A birth certificate is not something you can query. They are not free. You do not pay for the document - you pay for the search. You submit your request, along with a $15-30 fee (depending on the state) and we search for the record. If we find it, and you are qualified to own the record, then you are provided the record. If we do not find it, we keep the search fee. If we find it, but we find that you are not qualified to own the record, then we keep the fee. We say to you, "I'm sorry, you are not qualified to own this document" but we do not explain why.

Q - Wait .. are you saying that a person's identity is confidential?

A - Thats exactly what I'm saying. If you walk up and stick out your hand and introduce yourself, the polite thing is for me to shake your hand and introduce myself. However. It is my legal right to say to you, "Get bent, I'm not giving you my name." - should I choose to do this then you have no *governmental* agency which you can turn to, to find out my name. The Vital Statistics Division (aka the "birth certificate office") can not tell you who I am. Nor can the Census bureau. Nor can the Social Security office. It is my privelige and my prerogrative as a citizen to decide who I share my identity with. The same is true for you.

Q - Seriously? Birth certificates are that secure?

A - Yes. A birth certificate is the foundation of one's identity. Once you obtain a birth certificate, you can obtain a drivers license, which enables you to obtain a credit card, checking account, car, job, etc. These documents are highly confidential and private documents of one's self identity.

Q - Ok, fair enough. But so President Obama can order one for himself, right?

A - Yes he can. He can contact the Hawaiian Vital Statistics Division and request a birth certificate. For a $20 fee (give or take a few bucks) he will pay for the search. If a record is found, and he is qualified to own the document, he is provided with a copy.

Q - OK! well so there you go .. why doesn't he just order one then and show it to the public and then they'll stop asking these pesky questions??

A - He has. Please see this URL:
http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2...n_the_...

Q - no no no no no, what I mean is .. the hospital record, with his foot prints on it.

A - That is not a legal document. It is a memento. It is a nice parchment that the hospital sends home with your parents so they can hang it on the wall to commemorate the day you blessed their lives. It is also easily forgeable and is not an acceptable document for obtaining a job, a drivers license or a passport.

Q - are you sure about that??

A - Yes I'm very sure about that. You can try and test it if you want but you'll walk away frustrated after standing in line for a long time at the passport office. Only the Vital Statistics Division, with a raised state seal, certificate ID number, and State Registrar's signature is a legal document proving one's birth.

Q - Well but .. its just a printout!

A - That's right. When you are born, the doctor (or more likely, his nursing staff) fills out a long form record of your birth. They immediately send it to the County Registrar, who validates the information. It is then sent to the State Registrar. The information is then entered into a secured and non-internet-connected computer. Some states may also make a scan of it, though not all do. The original record is then sealed into a vault. Your parents never have the original record. This ensures that, should the original record get lost or destroyed, your proof of identity remains intact.

Q - but burnt .. its not a birth certificate, it just says that its a "certificate of live birth" so why doesn't President Obama show his birth certificate??

A - **sigh** .. there is not difference between a "birth certificate" and a "certificate of live birth". The two terms are interchangeable. Not unlike the phrases "drivers license" and "license to drive". One is the slang, the other is the verbose/official verbiage printed on the document.

Q - wow really? huh. well, ok .. but .. I mean, its just a printout! Can't it be forged?

A - Yes .. but its very difficult. There are very few vendors in the world who manufacture the paper that birth certificates are printed on. The stock is made from a specific and unique weight, contains a watermark throughout, is a unique color, and has a "raised seal" of the state. It also has a copy of the State Registrar's signature. Forging these is even more complicated than forging money.

Q - ok well .. so .. there you go! people still forge money! so .. couldn't the picture on factcheck be a forgery then?

A - No. Because the Hawaiian State Registrar confirmed the legitimacy of the record.

Q - what does that mean?

A - The Hawaiian State Registrar is the bureaucrat responsible for maintaining all birth, death, marriage and divorce certificates in every state. He confirmed the legitimacy of the record.

Q - how? whats so special about him?

A - Well, one possibility is that he opened the vault and looked at the original long form record. More likely, he looked at the birth certificate ID number (which is 1961-010641), compared it to the computer lookup, and said "good enough for me".

Q - how can he look at the number and know its good enough??

A - Ok here's how it works. Here's how the ID number works. The "1961" means the year that the record ID number was assigned, was 1961. The "010641" means that it was the 10,641st birth certificate which was entered into the computer system that year, way back on or around August 4, 1961 (when President Obama was born). There was another baby born on or about August 4, 1961 - which was submitted into the computer system about 5 minutes before President Obama's birth certificate was entered. This person was assigned record ID number 1961-010640. Five minutes later, another record was entered for another person, and was assigned 1961-010642.

This is it? THis is the other side of the debate???? A very involved explanation for why a person just can't quite prove a thing that every other person in the civilized world can prove pretty much beyond doubt? Just the nature of the response tells me it's bullshit....There are also involved explanations for why we should be killing families in the Mid East and destroying the currency and economy. Involved explanations can get around any facts and logic.

Anyway, this is an idiotic topic all around. What a waste of time. Obama was created by, and serves, the same powers that brought you Bush. There's nothing legitimate about him, he deceives and murders, so I don't know why it's so outlandish that this, too, would be a fraud. But I have to agree with you all, it's a moronic conversation. I leave you to it.


The purpose of Crooks and Liars is to keep small-minded individuals thinking in terms of the left vs. right garbage they've been trained to respond to.

1 - you have no legal authority - none - to see the document.

2 - Hawaii issues no long form certificates. what you're demanding is legally impossible to receive.

3 - Obama's birth certificate has been vetted by the Hawaiian State Registrar, who is the world's leading intellectual authority on Hawaiian births.

Dear Mr. Concern Troll,

For only $98.75 you can put your money where your mouth is.

...the (Hawaii)Department of Health has offered to provide hundreds of sheets of index data if requesters will pay for it. At 25 cents per page, the 1961 birth index data would cost $98.75. So far, no one has paid for the papers.

Q - so ... what are you saying here .. ?

A - What I'm saying is that Barack Hussein Obama has had this Hawaiian Birth Certificate ID Number of 1961-010641 ever since a few days after he was born. The *ONLY* way that President Obama could have successfully forged the birth certificate he presented on factcheck.org *AND* fooled the State Registrar .. would have been to randomly select a record ID number from a few days after he was born, hack into the non-internet-connected state computer system containing these records, overwrite the name on file with his name, hunt the original person down, kill them (and their family and friends and friends' friends), then successfully forge a short form birth certificate which was created sometime in 2007.

Q - well .. but .. so .. ok .. well why don't they just show us the long form copy?

A - This prompts a question back to you. Why doesn't *WHO* show you a long form copy?

Q - I mean .. the Hawaii government?

A - Because ... since you are not an immediate family member, you are not entitled to see this highly confidential document of identification.

Q - ok smartass, so why doesn't the Obama campaign demand the long form copy, and clear all this up?

A - Because - Hawaii is one of about 15-20 states which has passed a law sealing *ALL* long form copies. Some states (such as California) issue long form copies by default. (although, technically, these are copies of copies). Some states (such as Oregon) will submit long form copies but only if you ask for them and only if the long form comes out looking legible (the mimeograph copy doesn't print out very well). Some states (such as Hawaii) have given up altogether on dealing with sloppy penmanship and crappy mimeograph copies and have just decided "screw it, everybody gets the short form and the long form stays sealed in a vault."

Q - So Barack Obama's original long form official hospital record of his birth, with the doctor's signature is sealed in a vault?

A - That's right. A vault maintained by the State Registrar for the State of Hawaii's Division of Vital Statistics.

Q - so ok, there you go! why doesn't the Obama campaign just demand that he release it?

A - Because neither the Obama campaign, nor the Obama adminstration (white house) has jurisdiction over this. In fact, not even the Governor of Hawaii has jurisdiction over this document. Only the State Registrar has the privilege of viewing the original record that sits sealed in a vault. And by Hawaiian law, he cannot share this with anybody. He cannot share President Obama's original long form birth certificate, just like he cannot share ANY person's original long form birth certificate.

Q - well .. so .. um .. ok .. but, I heard you can also get birth certificates made for you in Hawaii even if you weren't born in Hawaii. like, Obama's sister got one of them.

A - Yes, thats correct. This law was passed in 1982 though, not 1961. And the documents created must articulate that the person was not born in Hawaii. - http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/hrs200...-0017_...

Q - well, so how do we know Obama didn't get one of those and just forge his birth certificate?

A - Because President Obama had a birth announcement in the local paper on August 13, 1961, just 9 days after he was born. The newspaper will not announce a birth unless they are provided with a birth certificate first.

Q - so .. huh .. so I guess all this crap about birth certificates is pretty stupid then?

A - Yes, thats correct. There are many reasons to question President Obama's effectiveness as POTUS and Commander In Chief, but questioning his natural born citizenship is pretty damn stupid.

to educate a collective which sees the written word as a vampire would see a holy water garlic martini with a twist of wooden stake in the middle of the day.

1 - all birth certificates are confidential. they are owned by the states not the feds, and are not public record.

2 - Hawaii is one of about 15-20 states who have barred the practice of issuing "long form" birth certificates (copies from the original birth form, with doctor's signature). as of 2001, no citizen born in Hawaii, can buy the long form. nobody. not even the president. its a state law. (protip - ARIZONA HAS A SIMILAR LAW! :D )

3 - working in a vital stats call center is a deadend job. huge turnover. every vital stats employee has access to all birth records. its more than likely that every $12/hour vital stats employee in Hawaii has looked up Obama's birth record. you'd have thought one of them would have come forward by now, if not for the cause, at least for the money.

haha, you even made a tl;dr

very, very nice.

I made numerous phone calls and wrote numerous faxes and letters to key congresscritters urging them to filibuster his nomination. I tried to make them see that if Alito were confirmed, the political process would be f!$#$ed up for the rest of my life (I'm in my late 50's) and then some. The failure of Democrats to filibuster started a descent into utter cynicism that was capped off by the Citizens United decision.

I could be dead wrong (of course), but after 25 years as a litigator my take on it is that they want the Court to speak as on against this idiot. She takes up immense amounts of time, makes claims like "Thomas' signature isn't his own, etc" and SCOTUS is sick of her. Doing this means they speak as one voice and slam her.

I would be shocked if it were any different, and I defy you to find someone more liberal than I.

liberalism has nothing to do with this issue though.

its a matter of 4th and 10th amendment rights.

Ms. Taitz wants the federal government .. to order the State of Hawaii .. to bypass their own state laws .. and submit a very private document of self identification .. which, by law, they do not provide to ANY citizens, anymore ..

and to submit the document to the public and the media .. based on a hunch.

it literally spits in the face of the 4th and the 10th amendments.

and the SCOTUS is likely interested in putting the issue to bed once and for all.

She sued him saying he was an impostor,not a republican. Because he was previously registered as a Dem in Florida (1999). That registration expired or lapsed. He then registered as a GOper in Calif . She lost the primary by over 900,000 votes. She also lost the lawsuit.On June 17, 2010, Taitz filed a lawsuit in the Orange County Superior Court contesting the election results, again alleging Dunn's ineligibility.

If a child was born at home in Hawaii in 1961, would the family be denied a birth certificate? Or, would they be able to register the birth and receive a certificate of live birth and subsequently have the local newspapers report the birth? Obviously, the family would receive a valid birth certificate and have the birth announcement in the local news paper . . . even if the family was lying. Why might the family lie? An 18 year old moves to across the world, has a child in Kenya and realizes she made mistake. Returns home as soon as the child is born and, fearing a custody fight, claims the child was born in the United States. If someone only knew the delivering doctor's name we could ask him where he delivered baby Obama. Can anybody help me out? What was that doctors name?

Andy K's picture

She was an American citizen, never waived her citizenship. Even if he was born in Kenya, he's got US citizenship from mom. Not naturalized citizenship, either. The real, 100%, as-required-to-become-POTUS citizenship from birth, the same as John McCain, born in Panama with at least one parent who was a citizen of the US. Or are you going to change the argument to one where Obama isn't his mother's son by birth?

eL Tedo's picture

Sure, she was an American citizen. You are the one changing the argument; and the definition of natural born citizen. And, I'm not certain if John McCain is a natural born citizen either. But you never answered my last question - who the heck was baby Obama's delivery doctor?

Andy K's picture

But the burden of proof is on you to prove that Obama isn't a natural-born citizen of this country. The State Department- Bush's State Department- certified that Obama met the citizenship qualifications to run for POTUS. You need to provide compelling evidence- not conjecture, but facts- that Obama isn't a natural-born citizen, and you can't do that.

And I'm not changing the definition of "natural-born citizen" at all. Children born to American natural-born citizens (and only one parent is required to be natural-born) , no matter at what age the parent left the country (there is a length-of-US-residency law pertaining to parents who are naturalized citizens) are considered natural-born citizens of the US. That's settled law.

There's no burden on me at all. I haven't said he's not a natural-born citizen; although I doubt he is. I only claim that it has not been proven he is a natural-born citizen.

The "only one parent" vs both parents is Orly Taitz' issue, not mine.

My issue is his place of birth which is not certain.

Andy K's picture

They're the arbiter over this sort of thing.

And again, you needn't be born in the United States to be a natural-born citizen. I have a friend who was born in Canada to one US parent and one Canadian parent. He's got dual citizenship- natural-born citizenship at that, as his mom was and remains a US citizen. And my friend could legally run for and serve as POTUS.

I don't believe you are correct in your definition of natural-born citizen; but I'm not interested in the legal argument. If you concede it's not 100 percent certain he was born in Hawaii, I settle for that.

Andy K's picture

But I'm 100% certain that he was born in Hawaii. I couldn't care less for what you'll settle.

Ok,but the record will show, you never answered my original question.

"If a child was born at home in Hawaii in 1961, would the family be denied a birth certificate?"

There's no burden on me at all. I haven't said he's not a natural-born citizen; although I doubt he is.

?

how about an explanation for your apparent madness?

They'd probably be given a copy of the original, but not the original itself. Just like the copy (mimeograph, iirc) of the original of my 1965 MI birth certificate...Which was in my wallet from about the age of 16 until 21(?), when I lost it while cleaning the detritus from my wallet.

And you know what? Like Hawaii, Michigan doesn't give out those mimeographs of the long-form birth certificate any longer, but the computer-printed certificate of live birth.

So what happened to Obama's mimeographed copy of his long-form birth certificate? Who knows? Maybe his mom misplaced it. Maybe the dog ate it. Maybe Obama made a paper airplane of it when he was 16, right after he got his first driver's license, and now it's part of some abandoned birds' nest.

was filled out by a doctor in a hospital .. then scanned into a mimeograph in 1961 .. then sealed in a vault where it can never be destroyed. along with all birth records from 1961.

from 1961 to 2001, if the Obamas ever needed a copy of Barack Obama's birth certificate they might have received a scanned reproduction of the original, which was then stamped with a raised seal of the State of Hawaii, and signed by the State Registrar - or they might have received a computer printout containing all of the vital information from the original birth record.

from 2001 to present, the only certificates which anybody receives from Hawaii, is the short form.

nobody but the Registrar ever gets that original birth record, and its scanned, then sealed in a vault, then the information from the scan is entered into a computer system.

miss_kitty's picture

Do you think the Doctor would remember each and every baby he delivered?

do you have proof his mom moved to Kenya? Surely you could get the records of that. As soon as you do, maybe someone can help you.

And the close proximity of Kenya to Hawaii makes that sound so plausible. Surely passenger on the plane upon which she traveled must have a recollection of a woman with a screaming baby on the redeye from Nairobi to Honolulu in August 1961. And they would certainly be able to give an accurate description so you could positively be assured it was Obama's mom 49 years later.

You round those people up first.

Isn't there an Orly Taitz site you could post on? I'm sure Mrs Mensa would be fascinating. She might even adopt it as part of her fantasy.

I don't know if the doctor remembered every baby he delivered. Maybe he delivered 1,000s and now has alzheimer. Maybe he delivered 10 and then went into real estate Why don't we ask him? Oh wait, we don't know his name, do we.
I don't have proof she traveld to Kenya, and never claimed it as a fact, only as a possibility. Her passport records for 1961 were destroyed by the state department! http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=186677

You want me to find a passenger on a plane from 1961 who remembers an 18 year old traveling with a new born? I think it would be more practical to call the doctor. You know, they guy who signs the birth certificate!

An Orly Taitz site? You don't like being challenged or questioned, do you? Why don't you turn on MSNBC? I think Oberman's about to call Sarah Palin an idiot again.

So here you are getting heated up about this nonissue, and if you look at why you feel so strongly about it, what you'll discover, I suspect, is that you hate a certain kind of person. A caricature of Republicans or Tea Party people that has been fed to you by cable TV. You guys are Orwell's little dogs, doing your flips even when the trainer isn't present.

there are many other reasons to question the performance of our current President and Commander in Chief. hell, I'm annoyed with being called "Professional Left" when, as the C&L regulars whom I've annoyed so much in the past will tell you, I'm quite obviously a centrist. so there's one of a thousand reasons to purse my own lips at Obama. the fact that he'll call Kanye West a jackass, or make rude assumptions about that rude cop in Ohio who hassled that rude professor .... but he won't publicly tell Robert Gibbs to stfu?

plus, as you mention, the war and misery that he hasn't abolished. whatever. fair enough.

If it's not true, that's unfortunate in my opinion, but I never said evidence should be falsified or lies advanced. I said it should get a fair, complete hearing, and if the "birthers" are wrong, then the issue should die a natural death.

There's no double standard here. I'm just, again, pointing out that Obama should be taken as a whole, and the birth thing considered in the context of what this guy actually is.
