Orly’s monumental incompetence

Posted on Wednesday, April 15, 2009 in Alan Keyes, Lawsuits, Orly Taitz

ineptI’ve written before on these pages in the article Alan Keyes Needs a Good Lawyer about how Dentist-cum-Correspondence School lawyer, Orly Taitz, filed a lawsuit on behalf of Alan Keyes in the Central District of California federal court, that was based on a totally inapplicable executive order signed by George Bush in the final days of his administration.

That lawsuit was filed on January 20. While Orly has been scooting around the country visiting Washington, DC, stalking Supreme Court justices in Moscow (Idaho), making YouTube videos, harassing the FBI, blathering on radio shows, and at tea parties, she hasn’t bothered to take care of one important piece of business: serving President Obama with the lawsuit.

There was an anecdote on her former blog about an untrained volunteer attempting to serve the papers a full 20 days after the suit was filed. But to date, almost 90 day after the suit was filed, there is still no notice of service filed with the court. According to federal court rules, in another 35 days, the suit will be automatically dismissed for lack of service.

Given the lack of a snowball’s chance in hell of the suit going anywhere, perhaps failing to serve the papers is the easiest way out (while keeping open the opportunity to lay the blame on somebody else).

Ah, but you, true patriots in the tradition of Orly, can help her, let her know of the impending demise of her lawsuit. You can save everything! Go! Plead with her!

Comment to Alan Keyes about harassment

Alan Keyes wrote an article:

Obama Threatens Keyes and other Eligibility Plaintiffs

I replied:

The Keyes v. Obama lawsuit is based on a presidential order that:
1. Only applies to new hires after mid April 2009
2. Only applies to contractors and civil service employees
3. And explicitly excludes its use as a cause of action (lawsuit).
Surely you know that the lawsuit doesn’t have any chance of prevailing whatever.

Convince me that the lawsuit is not harassment or part of a smear campaign. And if it is, is not some kind of sanction warranted? (more…)

Alan Keyes Needs a Good Lawyer

I’m referring to an action filed by Dr. Orly Taitz in the case Alan Keyes, PhD., Wiley S. Drake, and Markham Robinson,  Plaintiffs v. Barack H. Obama, a/k/a Barack H. Obama, II a/k/a Barry Obama, a/k/a Barry Soetoro; Condoleeza Rice, in her capacity as Secretary of State; Robert Mueller, in his capacity as Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; and Michael W. Hager, in his capacity as Acting Director, Office of Personnel Management; and DOES 1-100 Defendants.

The action is filed based on a recent executive order by President George W. Bush titled “Granting Reciprocity on Excepted Service and Federal Contractor Employee Fitness and Reinvestigating Individuals in Positions of Public Trust.” [Federal Register (PDF)]

A good lawyer would accurately state the facts and the law. This isn’t the case here. (more…)

Alan Keyes

Alan Lee Keyes (born August 7, 1950) is an American conservative political activist, author, and former diplomat, and perennial candidate for public office. He ran for President of the United States in 1996, 2000, and 2008, and was a Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate in 1988, 1992, and 2004. Keyes served in the U.S. Foreign Service, was appointed Ambassador to the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations under President Ronald Reagan, and served as Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs from 1985 to 1987. [From the Wikipedia]

Keyes is known in the Obama conspiracy theory world as one of the filers of a law suit in California to force Obama to prove his citizenship:

This proof could include items such as his original birth certificate, showing the name of the hospital and the name and the signature of the doctor, all of his passports with immigration stamps, and verification from the governments where the candidate has resided, verifying that he did not, and does not, hold citizenship of these countries, and any other documents that certify an individual’s citizenship and/or qualification for office.

On Alan’s web site, he says:

Both major parties nominated individuals whose views discard the nation’s founding principle of respect for the authority of the Creator God. Faced with this circumstance, those in full possession of the facts had to make a choice for or against telling the truth.

Keyes lawsuit contains many of the more obvious falsehoods covered on this web site:

Further, the report does not say whether the birth certificate in the “record” is a Certificate of Live Birth or a Certificate of Hawaiian Birth. In Hawaii, a Certificate of Live Birth resulting from hospital documentation, including a signature of an attending physician, is different from a Certificate of Hawaiian Birth. For births prior to 1972, a Certificate of Hawaiian Birth was the result of the uncorroborated testimony of one witness and was not generated by a hospital. Such a Certificate could be obtained up to one year from the date of the child’s birth. For that reason, its value as prima facie evidence is limited and could be overcome if any of the allegations of substantial evidence of birth outside Hawaii can be obtained. The vault (long Version) birth certificate, per Hawaiian Statute 883.176 allows the birth in another State or another country to be registered in Hawaii. Box 7C of the vault Certificate of Live Birth contains a question, whether the birth was in Hawaii or another State or Country. Therefore, the only way to verify the exact location of birth is to review a certified copy or the original vault Certificate of Live Birth and compare the name of the hospital and the name and the signature of the doctor against the birthing records on file at the hospital noted on the Certificate of the Live Birth.
