Waiting for Grinols

The Fogbow is down, suggesting to me that I and everybody else is trying to get some news about the hearing results in Grinols v. Electoral College. The hearing should have been over about 45 minutes ago, but it is not unusual for an Orly Taitz case to go beyond the allotted time.

First results from the Fogbow:

TRO denied. Written order to follow.
No dismissal. No sanctions.
Sad Orly. Testy judge.

From The Tribune:

England said the case is unlikely to succeed, that the plaintiffs lacked standing and they failed to submit legal documents on time.

From the Sacramento Bee:

"Your argument, it doesn’t make any sense whatsoever," the judge told her at one point.

From the Honolulu Star-Advertiser:

England rejected Taitz’s pleas to allow a man from Florida to testify about what she said are inconsistencies in the typeface on the birth certificate Obama released, which she said would "prove beyond a reasonable shadow of a doubt that the documents are forgeries."

    Judge rejects birther challenge to electoral count

    In a courtroom packed with supporters of the birther movement, U.S. District Court Judge Morrison C. England rejected the petition for a temporary restraining order filed by Orly Taitz, a California dentist and attorney who has lost challenges in several states seeking to prove that Obama is not a U.S. citizen.

    The judge said the petition did not meet the basic requirements for a restraining order, including that attorneys prove their case is likely to succeed at a trial, and said the plaintiffs lacked standing, failed to submit legal documents on time and had made unsupported claims.

    “The state of Hawaii has already certified all of this to be not true,” the judge said.

    Thursday’s unusual, hourlong hearing drew about 60 supporters of the birther movement and about 20 legal observers. Taitz frequently sparred with England, raising her voice loudly as the judge questioned her claims and at times cut her off.

    England rejected Taitz’s pleas to allow a man from Florida to testify about what she said are inconsistencies in the typeface on the birth certificate Obama released, which she said would “prove beyond a reasonable shadow of a doubt that the documents are forgeries.”

    The judge said he had only approved oral arguments during a “courtesy hearing,” which was not legally required, to “show that this court would look at the arguments presented.”

    The motion cited three would-be candidates for president who claimed they would be harmed if Congress counted the Electoral College votes taken in December, but Assistant U.S. Attorney Edward Olsen said none of the candidates could show they were on the ballot in any state. One is serving a federal prison sentence, he said.

    “Even if this is all true in their wildest hopes … they haven’t presented any evidence to show that he is not a natural born citizen,” Olsen added.

    Taitz appeared to be upset after the hearing as supporters filed past her to thank her for pursuing the case, some calling her a “hero,” and others saying the judge’s decision was evidence of socialism.

    Nothing posted by Orly yet, of course. Whatever the news, she’ll need sometime to spin it. unless she is really peeved and fires off one of those kneejerk “THEY ALL HATE ME” rants.

    She does however have some comments on her frontpage, flying monkeys throwing WND under the bus for not covering Orly. Really? Did the WWF ever mention Ric Flair back in the 80s, or the WCW mention Hulk Hogan? Puh-leze, this is Hucksterism 101. Competing promotions do not exist.

    I left this comment. I am sure it will appear any second now 😉

    WND work with Orly? LOL! You must be joking. There are many strains of birferism, and WND tailors their birfer product to script. Orly is an alien outsider to the WND stable. It’s obvious she wouldn’t stick to a script. Their Arpaio initiative was a scripted promotion designed to produce mutual benefit … to fans the flames of The Faithful among the WND crowd, and to keep Arpaio voters distracted from his multiple problems. Now that his election is over, *BOOM*, done, not a peep.

    WND rightly sees Taitz as a threat to their product. Taitz actually believes in birferism. WND is using it to manipulate their audience, to keep them hooked. They are very much counting on keeping this storyline alive until 2017. Plenty of time to gin up a new manufactured crisis by then, and a wide-open Presidential election will offer plenty of opportunity for doing so. Taitz is crazy enough to believe in an end, WND is only interested in the means.

  21. donna says:

    “What we’re doing here is the right thing,” Taitz said during the hearing at Sacramento’s downtown federal courthouse. “It’s stopping treason.

    “We are looking for one honest judge who will look at the case on its merits.”

    In an argument that England noted Taitz has pursued 13 previous times in court, she sought to present evidence that the president’s birth certificate is a forgery.

    “It’s a joke,” she told the judge. “It’s not even a good forgery.”

    She added that the president is using a stolen Social Security number, that Obama may not really be his last name and that, basically, he is has no right to serve, “not (as) president, not a janitor in the office of president.”

    Taitz spent much of the hearing arguing over that point and the audience became restless, with one man wearing a gray blazer and blue jeans eventually standing up in the front row as if to offer his own argument.

    “Sit down,” England sternly ordered.

    He did, and a court security officer moved closer to him.

    “Why do you keep filing these lawsuits when they keep getting rejected?” England asked at one point.

    Taitz responded by comparing herself to Thurgood Marshall and his persistence in filing suits to fight segregation. She explained that one of the plaintiffs is a Republican elector for Romney, who came in second to Obama in November.

    “But second,” England countered. “What part of second don’t you understand?”

    Finally, the judge rejected the request for a restraining order, saying Taitz had no hope of prevailing anywhere.

    “There is absolutely no way that this case will survive the challenge it faces,” he said.

    from mcclatchy

    ‘Birther queen’ Orly Taitz knows the drill, but she keeps trying to oust Obama

    Nothing succeeds like persistence – unless you’re Orly Taitz.

    Her appearance was part of a last-minute bid to stop the counting of electoral college votes in Washington, D.C., that will pave the way for the president’s second inauguration Jan. 21.

    She failed. Again.

    But the hearing before U.S. District Judge Morrison C. England Jr. was hardly routine.

    She ran into a brick wall with England. The judge sparred with her for more than an hour as the hearing played out in a courtroom overflowing with spectators, many of them clearly not Obama supporters.

    The arguments have been explored and debunked for years, but a hard-core group of believers continue to raise them.

    Taitz sought to introduce evidence from witnesses about the font size of the type on the president’s birth certificate, as well as from an investigation launched by Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona’s Maricopa County.

    Finally, the judge rejected the request for a restraining order, saying Taitz had no hope of prevailing anywhere.

    The reaction from courtroom watchers was unmistakable. “Mockery,” one man shouted as he stormed out, followed by another who was holding his nose.

    taitz even had the cojones to say to judge england “We are looking for one honest judge who will look at the case on its merits.”

    as a member of the court (supposedly), does she not know that they are all in a club and protect their own like doctors, law enforcement, teachers, etc?

    But you haven’t been fool enough to back a ‘no-shot’ have you? That’s takes a special kind of stupid, a complete lack of objectivity. The defenders of the Alamo were a long shot.

    Challenger Taitz is tilting at bulldozers, and the flying monkeys are expecting her to blow right through one. That’s a no-shot.

  34. donna says:

    ENFIN from orly:

    Judge England case: Emergency relief of the Temporary restraining order was not granted but the case goes on. Some of the statements by the judge are shocking, he de facto says that if one can steal a property with forged IDs and was not caught because nobody wanted to hear the case on the merits, then he can keep the stolen property scotts free forever!!!

    I had a problem with my flight, arrived late home after the hearing, did not sleep a night before and decided to wait till the morning to write a full report.

    Bottom line, the case goes on, but the emergency relief was not granted.

    US attorney stated at the hearing that there is no requirement for the US President to have a valid birth certificate and a valid selective service certificate and a valid Social Security number, that the U.S. Constitution does not state that the president is supposed to have valid papers.

    The judge nodded and told me, indeed the U.S. Constitution does not require the US President to have valid IDs.

    I responded to him that the U.S. Constitution does not require the President to have a pulse also. There is nothing in the U.S. constitution saying that the U.S. President is supposed to have any brain activity, however it is common sense to believe or at least hope that the U.S. President should have a pulse and a brain activity. Similarly the U.S. Constitution does not say that the birth certificate of the President should not be forged, however it is common sense to believe that if the President has to be a natural born citizen, he should have a valid birth certificate and not a computer generated forgery, that he would not be using a stolen Social Security number and a forged selective service certificate.

    she goes on with her now too familiar rantings and ends with

    It seems that during Obama regime the only ones who get protection from the law are the criminals, the law abiding citizens are completely deprived of all of their rights, the only thing they have to protect them, is ammo. Just a year or two ago, during the Arab Spring, when people of the Middle Eastern Countries realised that they have no civil rights in their corrupt regimes, they revolted and threw off their dictators, corrupt judges on the take, corrupt law enforcement on the take with the rest of the regime. Without an honest judiciary I am afraid this will be happenning in this country in the near future.

    I will request the audio tape and the transcript. I would appreciate donations to cover the cost of the transcript, travel and the cost of maitnaining these case and this fight. Previously I was quoted very high fee for the transcript. I am posting the pleadings and the article from the local press, which is skewed.

    Please, keep calling, faxing and writing the Supreme Court of the US, demand that Chief Justice John Roberts issue his ruling in Noonan et al v Obama asap

    Clearly, Orly is misinformed when she says that the Constitution doesn’t require a president to have a pulse or brain activity. As the 25 Amendment points out:

    “Section 1. In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.”

  43. That is a very interesting question. The only thing I can figure is that it was not submitted, but referenced, and that by Orly Taitz in her Reply to Opposition to the TRO here in the 16th page of:

    http://www.scribd.com/doc/118339060/Grinols-et-al-v-electoral-college-et-al

    I’m not sure that all the exhibits are published either. ECF Document 12 has exhibits listed that aren’t attached, and not on the docket. The verification to MDEC might be in there. “Before the court” might also be a judicial notice of the verification from one of the government web sites that host it.

    gorefan: Does anyone know which verification was submitted? Was it a new one?

  44. Dave says:

    I think the record so far is about 50. So millions does seem ambitious.

    I had great hopes for last year’s Birther Summit. Their plan was to have, for each county of the US, a local person organizing the protesters and transportation to DC. Of course, had they just gotten one person from each county, they would’ve beat the previous record by a factor of 60. As it was, they had to cancel due to complete and utter lack of interest.

    I believe and may be incorrect that the Phil Berg birferpalooza in DC did get about 100 attendees plus an awful lot of highly confused tourists

    This does seem to indicate that Grinols may be one of the most successful birfer meetups evah, as long as you don’t count the actual result.

    Aside from all the other reasons that we know this suit to be flawed there is another fatal reason which has been somewhat alluded to on TFB. Taitz had the entire Congress as defendants. At the time she filed her suit the existing Congress was the 112th. ALL HofR members terms ended at noon on Jan 3rd at which time the 113th was sworn in. The 113th is the one which counts the votes. It would have been impossible to timely serve the 113th members (as Congresscritters) and have the TRO hearing on the 3rd. The only people she could have had as defendants are the VP and those members of the Senate whose terms did not end on Jan 3. Not having ever taken a citizenship test, this was something Taitz could not possibly comprehend.

    Try explaining to her that each Congress is a separate legal entity. Just imagine the conspiracy she would make of that!

  53. Hermite can’t even figure out the simple “quote” function on this blog yet we are to believe he is a computer graphics expert? 😆

    BTW, RC, gr8 shows this week.

  55. Thank you. The show Thursday night w/o Bob and Estiveo reminded me of the old days when baseball announcers had to recreate road games by reading the Western Union ticker. The show we recorded later was a hoot.

    Moreover, when Herm first began posting here (I don’t know how many months ago), the process for using the quote function was explained to him. How strange that a birther would be unable (or unwilling) to learn!
