and the board allows Obama on the ballot. Why does this woman still have a law license????
"WASHINGTON -- In a meeting dominated by birther queen Orly Taitz, the Kansas Objections Board voted unanimously to accept President Barack Obama's citizenship and retain him on the state's presidential ballot.
"The all-Republican board voted to accept a withdrawal of an objection to Obama's eligibility that was filed by Kansas State University employee Joseph Montgomery and accepted paperwork submitted by Obama's campaign attesting to the president's citizenship. Montgomery withdrew his objection on Friday, saying that he and his family had received threatening phone calls.
"According to observers the board tried to conclude the meeting quickly, but Taitz interjected herself into the discussions, which Secretary of State Kris Kobach, the board's chairman, allowed.

"According to Manspeaker, Kobach stated early in the meeting that the only people who could speak during the meeting were Montgomery and board members. Scott Rothschild, a reporter for the Lawrence Journal-World tweeted during the meeting that Kobach told Taitz that her "objection is not timely."
"Manspeaker said Taitz, a California-based dentist and attorney, tried to tell the board that Montgomery could not withdraw his objection because he was doing so "under duress." Montgomery told HuffPost last week that he, along with personal and professional contacts, had received calls about the complaint he had filed, but he declined to go into the details of the calls. The objections board last Thursday voted to delay a final decision on Obama's eligibility until today, saying that they wanted information about Obama's birth from Hawaiian officials and noting they were upset that Obama did not send a representative to the meeting."
