A birther's lawsuit was born of a crackpot theory.

That’s what an irritated Brooklyn judge said in slapping a preeminent conspiracy theorist with a hefty bill for filing “a frivolous” suit and wasting the court’s time.

Christopher Earl Strunk sought to have President Obama disqualified as a candidate. The author of some 20 other lawsuits — most of which have been dismissed — Strunk was ordered to pay $167,707 in attorney fees plus a $10,000 sanction for the 2011 lawsuit that named Obama, New York’s Board of Elections and a list of others as defendants.

“If the complaint in this action was a movie script, it would be entitled ‘The Manchurian Candidate Meets The Da Vinci Code,’ ” wrote Judge Arthur Schack, calling the allegations, “fanciful, delusional and irrational.”

6. Oily Taterz was required to pay $20 K for attorney misconduct:

She appealed to the Supreme Court and was denied a hearing twice, meaning the fine stands.

Latest info I could find was that by the date of the second denial in Jan. 2011 she had collected $13,000 in donations but had not paid since she was going to appeal directly to Congress and to international courts. There was a lien on all her property dated from Aug 2010 to get payment.

3. About time. Orly Taitz should be charged with contempt of court every time she

files a new birther suit, given that all her previous ones have been thrown out.
