Orly Taitz Sues To Stop Electoral College Vote
Birther queen Orly Taitz has teamed up with a convicted felon who challenged President Barack Obama in the West Virginia Democratic primary to sue Vice President Joe Biden and Congress, in an effort to block the Electoral College vote.
Taitz announced on her website Wednesday evening that she had filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of federal prison inmate Keith Judd, along with two minor presidential candidates and Republican and Libertarian candidates for members of the electoral college. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Sacramento on Monday, is an attempt to prevent Congress from counting the Electoral College vote for Obama. Taitz did not announce the suit until Wednesday.
....
Judd received 41-percent of the vote against Obama in May's West Virginia primary, the most of any candidate against the president. In her court filing, Taitz claims that Judd would be the Democratic Party nominee if Obama was removed from the ballot and could not be voted on by the Electoral College next week. Taitz also filed on behalf of Edward Noonan, who won the American Independent Party presidential primary in California; Thomas Gregory MacLeran, who filed to run as a Republican for president; and Republican James Grinols and Libertarian Robert Odden, who both ran for elector in Minnesota.
Taitz's suit seeks to block Biden from performing his constitutional duty as president of the U.S. Senate, opening envelopes containing individual state Electoral College votes in front of a joint session of Congress in January. The Electoral College is scheduled to convene Monday. Taitz also seeks to prevent California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) and Secretary of State Debra Bowen (D) from signing documents regarding California's vote count that will be sent to Biden.

(8,138 posts)... as she does filing lawsuits against all things Obama, some good might be done in the world.
Don't want her tutoring underprivileged kids, though. Don't want her brand of battiness anywhere NEAR kids.

(5,756 posts)PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE just go away. Your stupid really hurts and you're wasting our time and the expenses of our government in time and money to prove, once again, just how wrong you are. If Arpaio had any real evidence Obama was not born in HI being the same sort of publicity fiend as you he would have been shouting it from every mountain top. But he hasn't. So that makes me pretty certain he has no evidence from his tax-payer funded witch hunt.
I know there are a lot of Tea Baggers out there but I seriously can't imagine why anyone would want to go to her for dental care or legal representation other than the really extreme whackos. And aren't convicted felons, like her imprisoned client, denied the vote in just about every state? So how does he even have standing to be part of this suit?
Notice I didn't say "right to vote" because the supremes have effectively said there is no explicit "right to vote" in the Constitution.

She needs to have her citizenship revoked and a one way ticket back to Moldova, persona non grata in U.S.
