Orly Taitz filed another lawsuit on July 5 in the US District Court for the Central District of California, Taitz v. Sebelius (8:2012cv01092). The tricky part is figuring what the suit is about. It appears that Taitz has taken all of her old lawsuits and added them to new lawsuit, creating a confusing mashup of everything from the Affordable Healthcare Act to a RICO complaint against Hawaii vital records director Alvin Onaka.
The new part of the case is an equal protection claim that the Affordable Healthcare Act discriminates against Christians and Jews to the benefits of Muslims, which Taitz claims are exempt from the mandatory insurance coverage provision of the Act. That in itself is a dubious claim. The ACA does provide a religious exemption for persons whose religions prohibit insurance. The same is true for Medicare. Muslims, however, are not exempted from Medicare and so it makes little sense to assume that they would be exempted from the ACA. It would be more plausible to say the law favors the Amish, but Taitz doesn’t appear to be prejudiced against the Amish. Snopes has an article with more details.
At least that part I understand. But how does Sheriff Arpaio fit in? And how about the rest of these defendants:
- NANCY PELOSI, IN HER CAPACITY AS THE CHAIRWOMAN OF THE 2008 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION
- BRIAN SCHATZ, LYNN MATUSOW IN THEIR CAPACITY AS 2008 CHAIRMAN AND SECRETARY OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF HAWAII
- ALVIN ONAKA, IN HIS CAPACITY AS THE REGISTRAR OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT OF HAWAII
- MICHAEL ASTRUE, IN HIS CAPACITY AS THE COMMISSIONER OF SSA
- ERIC HOLDER IN HIS CAPACITY AS ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE USA
- WILLIAM A. CHATFIELD, IN HIS CAPACITY AS THE IMMEDIATE PAST DIRECTOR OF THE SELECTIVE SERVICE
- ALICE TRAVIS GERMOND IN HER CAPACITY AS A SECRETARY OF THE 2008 DEMOCRATIC NOMINATING CONVENTION OBAMA FOR AMERICA
What is curious is that Taitz has filed the case as a private citizen rather than as an attorney, yet she seeks to have Christians and Jews certified as a class.
The unifying theme in the suit is, of course Obama. Taitz’ Quixotic quest to remove Barack Obama includes anything and everything she believes negative to him. So in her mind allegations of Selective Service forgery are valid objections to the Affordable Healthcare Act.
The 113-page complaint contains many attachments of the usual Taitz material: Arpaio’s Affidavit, Obama’s Indonesian school registration, Obama’s certificate of nomination from the Hawaii Democratic Party, Paul Irey examination of the long form and many more (for a total of 17). The only link I have to the case right now is at the Taitz web site.
the 3 “Rs”: rinse, repeat, regurgitate
“taitz” and “incoherent” are redundant
aside from anything else we can say about taitz, can you imagine living with her?
Speaking of Mad Ole Orly, looks like her focus on the Usurperatin’ MoFo has led to some issues with her dental licence…

Renewal fees have been paid, however, licensee has not complied with fingerprint requirement. Licensee not permitted to practice.
In other new developments, water is wet, fire is hot and a box if mud is a better attorney than Orly.
And yet the birthers defend this mess. Particularly the conspirac-ish theory that Muslims are exempt (Obama is hooking ‘his people’ up! It’s what ‘they’ do!). They’re eating it up.
As flaming politcal invective, it’s classic. Poisonous, but brilliant. But in the form of a lawsuit? Being defended as a logical argument? Yeesh.
“Taitz’ Quixotic quest to remove Barack Obama …”
Doc, I think you wrong the Don: he may have been a bit confused about reality sometimes, but he would have been on the side of the little guy (in this case the President), and he would have known quite well who the villains are!
That’s right! Orly Taitz has lost her license to practice dentistry in California and if currently treating patients today, – she’s practicing without a license! But in fairness to Orly, allowing for her difficulties with the English language, an excuse for her failure to comply with the California dental license-renewing fingerprints requirement may be powerfully confirmed by DNA evidence still encrusted on one of her office’s reclining dental chairs, reminding us of that touching moment when Orly was convinced that her finger prince was Charles Lincoln the 3rd!
She actually names him “Fraud”, like that was his first name, in a court filing?
I think she’s allowed to practice until the end of August, when her current license expires. They denied her renewal.
The only thing this filing is meant to do; distract from the utter failure of her Senate run. Since her Senate run was an attempt to cover her failure as an attorney, it has come full circle.
She is a parody of herself. Not even worthy of reality show celebrity.
I, for one, will leave her alone.
It is her worst fear. ( to be left alone by everyone; not by me.)
Can’t they just get her fingerprints off CEL III?
Lolz, just lolz. Another casualty of ODS syndrome. Lakin’s book just came out, perhaps we can expect one from Taitz, detailing how Obama forced her to neglect her promising career?
I believe the noble Doc is quoting an actual Judge who dubbed Orly’s mad jihad thusly.
But in your point that Don Quixote was saner and more discerning of reality than Orly… I concur.
When she spoke at the Georgia ballot challenge I was struck by the fact that, when given all the time in the world, she couldn’t even state her case coherently and it had nothing to do with English not being her native language. It’s her whole life yet she can’t even explain why she thinks Obama isn’t eligible. She doesn’t finish one thought before going on to two other non-related topics. You would think she could memorize a 15 minute spiel to simply state her case but she just can’t do it.
Everything she says or writes outside of a courtroom is cleaned up for her by allies and by Birther watchers — “I guess she means . . .” and she has benefitted from that but, thankfully, that gets her nowhere with judges.
The text on her site was all jumbled up. My editing error.
I’m guessing that Orly’s next lawsuit will include all 12 members of the Dental Board of California as defendants.
More proof that Orly belongs in an insane asylum.
Doc, didn’t you know? Snopes is funded by arch-villain Soros!
Off topic but related, anyone interested in cultural anthropology might want to check in on one of the more amazing “birther” threads that I’ve ever seen, currently up to 376 posts at freerepublic.com
It includes pictures of Barack Obama Senior and Stanley Ann Dunham at a gathering in Hawaii in 1961 and research into the other participants. It includes links to the Obama-Dunham marriage records in Honolulu and a pretty amazing tour de force of birther circular logic.
The thread is from the recent worldnetdaily article: “Obama’s ‘missing year’ at Columbia, found?”

She’s decompensating. Whatever medications she may be on, they are apparently not working.
I love how the more desperate she gets, and more bridges she burns, the crazier her lawsuits get! It is only a matter of time before the BAR proverbially pimp slaps her to the ground and literally shreds her license to practice law.
This all great fun, but Orly and her crowd are dangerous. The intersection of birtherism and religion. Lakin tried it here:

QUELLE SURPRISE!!!!!
these people are incestuous
Funny but ew.
bennett is also romney’s co-chair in az
As I think was noted on the open thread, Taitz has moved for the judge to recuse herself in this case. The argument is that the judge was appointed by Obama, and one of several unrelated arguments in this lawsuit is that Obama is ineligible, and that would, in the birther fantasy world, imply that the judge’s appointment would be void, so the judge has a conflict of interest on this case.
I wonder if the judge will find this argument funny or just annoying.
“Taitz files incoherent lawsuit”
“Sun rises in east”
I meandered over to her site today, and she says it’s all lies and the licensing entity will be receiving her fingerprints before August 31. I think she doesn’t understand the word PROCEDURE very well. Won’t she be surprised when she finds out her license really isn’t being renewed?
Yes, he is. Definite problem there.
As I wrote before: Bennett is a Mormon. If Romney is elected, he will let this fester and grow. You have been warned.
It is not just that Dr. Taitz has asked the Judge to recuse herself, but she has also asked that the case be transferred to Orange County Federal Court. If I understand how federal courts work, that is where Judge Carter is located. Is Dr. Taitz really that nuts that she wants to go to Judge Carter?
Yes.
Mr. Reilly: I don’t know if you read my previous post, so I’ll repeat it. Orly and her crowd are dangerous. Lakin is the tip of the iceberg.

The Settlers and their politicians are funded by Amercian evangelicals. Look at the turmoil they caused at the Air Force Academy. Don’t forget Mickey Weinstein:

Misha: Call me John.
I concur that Dr. Taitz is dangerous. She is a fascist. She seeks to criminalize dissent. She and her followers are encouraging the nut cases.
I agree with both of you on this.
I agree with most of you that (a) this does not come as a surprise, and (b) Taitz is a lunatic who should be stopped from using the legal system to vent her insanity.
This sort of harassment is rather like tormenting a neighbor by ordering pizza delivery, funeral flowers, topsoil etc. For Orly and her racist seditionist friends to have a venue for venting their insanity is one thing (free speech, if you like), but it is entirely inappropriate that her court-based nastiness is used to insult decent people, to lie, lie and lie about them, to cause them serious inconvenience, worry and expense.
Why isn’t she disbarred? Why isn’t she charged with some sort of criminal offense for her repeated lying in court?
Oh dear, the only possible explanation for those two issues is truly Orlyesque – this is clear evidence that Orly has corrupted the California Bar Association and many judges so they give her vicious nonsense a free run! There is no other possible explanation!! It is The Truth!!! Huge Orly Conspiracy!!!!
Here is where she comes from: Settler leader calls democracy an obstacle to Israel’s higher calling – Veteran settler leader Benny Katzover: ‘We didn’t come here to establish a democratic state.’
http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/settler-leader-calls-democracy-an-obstacle-to-israel-s-higher-calling-1.407490
Settler leader: Democracy must be dismantled – Haaretz reports that settler leader Benni Katzover calls for dismantling democracy and “bowing to Judaism,” and the leader of the right-wing coalition aids “price tag” activists. Can we discuss the treason of the right yet?
The veteran settler leader, Benni Katzover, was caught…telling some meshigene Chabad paper, “Beit Mashiach”, that “I would say that today, Israeli democracy has one central mission, and that is to disappear. Israeli democracy has finished its historical role, and it must be dismantled…”
Referring to the struggle against gender exclusion, Katzover sailed on the seas of conspiracy, saying, “The leftist activists are cooking timed campaigns against anything that smells of holiness…”
Katzover gains a point for no longer pretending, as most settler leaders still do, that he values democracy. Religious Zionism, as that pig who shows his cloven hoofs so that people will mistake it for a kosher animal, always claimed to support “Jewish democracy.” As anyone who actually studied in that world knows, democracy is described there as a Greek construct, alien to Judaism. When democracy is spoken of, the rabbis kept mentioning the biblical injunction “thou shall not follow a multitude to do evil.” It would be interesting to know how many settler leaders think like Katzover, but do not, as yet, dare say so openly.

I never thought I would see Jews flirt with fascism. American evangelicals fund the Settlers and their politicians. Fundies want to do the same thing here. This election is about the 1st Amendment, scientific progress, reproductive freedom and a liberal arts education.
You have been warned.
Doc, thanks for the proper and absolutley spot-on use of the word “incoherent” 😉
Misha, have you heard about the Republicans campaigning in Israel? Urging eligible voters living there to vote Romney, and to tell their relatives “back home” to do the same? Yeesh.

Agreed.
Sadly, misha, there were a significant number of Jews in Italy under Mussolini who joined the Fascist Party. Some remained in it until as late as 1938, when he expelled them under rascist laws passed after the Axis agreements with the Nazis.
Misha, may I ask what you are suggesting? Mormons come a dime a dozen here. The Phoenix metro area is literally filled with Mormons (they practically own Mesa, AZ). What could Bennett/Romney’s Mormonism do to AZ specifically?
I’m more concerned about what a Mormon president would do to the entire country.
I’m not concerned about Mormons, but I am concerned about Romney. I’m also not giving up on Romney / Bennett 2012 !! Your money or your wife!
Well, a Mormon president isn’t the peak of my concerns, but, it has been suggested that Mitt would try to take the presidency for the Mormon church and allow a takeover.
Which wife? So many to choose from, so little time. As I said, Jews are honest about this. We call them “mistress.”
OT, but apropos: my step-father told me that in the 1950s, an orthodox rabbi in Buffalo, married with children, ran off with a Polish hairdresser.
A what?
Does anybody know if Taitz actually does any dentistry? It would seem that with all the time taken up writing legal guff, website guff, and generally engaging in narcissistic self-promotion, she wouldn’t have a lot of hours to get down to the serious business of working on human dentition…
Interestingly, Taitz v Sebelius, et al. does not appear on any federal court docket.
Perhaps it didn’t even make it past the clerk. 😉
