Orly Taitz Dismissal - Birthers Attack The Courage and Patriotism Of Judge Who Won The Purple Heart

[TomCADem]

Very few news networks are picking this up, but one of the most insulting things about Orly Taitz efforts to pursue her lawsuit is the typical right wing practice of attacking the character of anyone who disagrees with them. In this case, Orly Taitz argued that anyone who opposes her lawsuit is unpatriotic, and suggested that Judge Carter is a coward who is caving into pressure from the Obama administration. Well, Judge Carter, who won the purple heart, did not take this personal attack quietly:

Plaintiffs’ request, asking this Court to sweep away the votes of over sixty-nine million Americans with the stroke of a pen and order a new election during which the country would be in a state of turmoil, ignores the Constitution’s processes and separation of powers that were developed by the founders,” Carter wrote in his ruling.

Carter also sharply criticized the conduct of attorney Taitz, calling her actions unethical and possibly illegal.

Taitz said that she would appeal the case. She dismissed Carter’s criticism of her behavior and said she suspects Carter’s ruling was the the result of pressure from the Obama Administration.

“Clearly there was pressure on Judge Carter,” said Taitz, who made a similar claim about a federal judge in Georgia, Clay Land, after he threw out a similar Taitz suit on Sept. 16.

And finally, Carter, a former First Lieutenant in the U.S. Marines and recipient of a Bronze Star and Purple Heart for his combat service in Vietnam, appeared to take umbrage at the plaintiffs’ suggestion that he and federal judges who have dismissed similar lawsuits are unpatriotic.

“Plaintiffs have attacked the judiciary, including every prior court that has dismissed their claim, as unpatriotic and even treasonous for refusing to grant their requests and for adhering to the terms of the Constitution which set forth its jurisdiction.

“Respecting the constitutional role and jurisdiction of this Court is not unpatriotic. Quite the contrary, this Court considers commitment to that constitutional role to be the ultimate reflection of patriotism.”

She'll soon be owing the government more money than she ever thought possible if she keeps pissing off all these judges.

9. Oddly, Not Much Media Is Reporting Her Attacks On The Patriotism Of A Purple Heart Winner

I think the reason is that it does not fit with the narrative that birthers are being ultra-patriotic. Afterall, McCarthyism started to really die once Senator McCarthy started calling war heroes communists.

10. yeah, her attacks on the judge

reminded me of the Swift boat liars attack on Kerry. I so love the rah-rah "I'm patriotic crowd" who are more than willing to attack someone who has served and put their life on the line, if they don't agree. I remember Vietnam-Kerry was there--he had the right to speak out against that war. He was a witness to the deaths of civilians, as well as, soldiers. He didn't speak out against the soldiers, he spoke for the soldiers. Another war waged directly from the WH.

11. Republicons HATE real veterans

I mean, they twice elected George AWOL Bush and Dickie 'Five-Military-Deferments' Cheney, and they adore and listen to the Republicon Chickenhawk Brigade of Propagandists: Limbuagh, Beck, Hannity, and O'Reilly.

So it's not surprising that they are trashing another Vet with a Purple Heart. As ususal -- Republicons are against America.

12. She's totally outrageous and unacceptable, but the entertainment value is awesome.

She's certainly the biggest nut case in the past 30 years to actually be a lawyer filing cases in federal court. I've never seen anything like it. EVER. The things she says about the judges, and her weak or nonexistent bases for saying such things, are unheard of.

She simply does not understand how to put a case together, how to follow statutes and rules to keep one's lawsuits viable, or how to behave in court.

Jumping up on the bench, pulling up her skirt, and squatting to pee in the judge's lap is not a winning strategy.
