The courage needed to look at her arguments dwarfed the time needed to read it, but I found that again we had dome indefinite articles missing and some other jollities, but obviously, this was not her work. If I had given students the assignment to write a persiflage of an Orly filing, and a student had handed this in, I would give it a 14 on 20. Looks good, but considering that I would give a 12 to anything that was double translated via Google Translate, no more than a good effort.
But seriously, I did not read the first draft, but I can tell you that this thing is fun for non-lawyers:
1) it starts on page one with Orly proclaiming herself pro se and mentioning her party should henceforth be recognized as "Taitz". Does not stop her from calling herself the Plaintiff all over the rest of the text, and even calling the Paul Reveres she is driving into the abyss her clients-plaintiffs
2) page 2: "Opposition by the defendant did not oppose". Ok, so if they argue that your motion for reconsideration is out of order, and stick to the rules to explain why, the fact that they do not mention the points you made (but were not allowed to make) means that they concede those points? Oh, wait, this is a constitutional crisis, forgot that. Damn the rules.
3) page 2 conveniently continues with "emergency situation". This is where birther blogger Taitz takes over the conversation and addresses the judge 'in his own lexicon'" and without any preparatory build-up (the unproven claims are mentioned later), calls Obama a criminal. Most of us are endured to that sort of thing coming from Taitz, but is the judge? If she dictated this, she was so busy wiping the foam from her lips after the unproven claim harangue (stolen ... forged... unknown allegiance) that she forgot "in charge of the White House".
4) page three contunues the harangue style, with short juxtaposed sentences that suggest a "bitter" argument in a brown ale pub rather than a carefully thought out appeal to a judge. It is noteworthy, however, that Taitz is here claiming that there may indeed be such a thing as criminal and even treasonous behavior by lawyers in a court case. I wonder what the International Criminal Bar thinks about that. And whether the California Bar is going to take her up on that argument.
5) and then Taitz starts on her
montagne russe ride to obfuscate what we all know about the evidence she provided: a) whatever she got from Adobe Illustrator's insight in Obama's tax returns, the fact remains that both Hollister and Jordan got their information illegally. b) Jordan's information may have come late, but she could have asked that woman to do whatever she did earlier; it would have been as illegal as it is now, but it could have been available before - so the Defendant is right to object. Of course, when Taitz writes on page six, "and what can be done to abate it" - we know that she has just proven one important point: Taitz, pro se, or with her 200+ Paul Reveres does not have STANDING. Oops, the secret is out: whatever the evidence, this case is about nothing and leading nowhere.
6) in her demi-urge to make points that no birther has made before, on page eight we are being told that there are 57 Muslim that Obama owes allegaince to. In view of where some of the malware now and then hosted on her website seems to come from, I am very interested to know whether Kazakhstan is one of the 57.
7) on the same page eight, the information that was claimed to be new a few pages ago (Obama's tax returns) suddenly becomes evidence that should have been acted upon by the Department of Justice ... years ago. Oh, yes, before he became President, that makes sense. Only they did not, and they were under the command of GWB then. OK, I again forgot that we are having a constitutional crisis of biblical proportions. Wait again, it is no longer a constitutional crisis, it is an "exigent matter in the history of the nation".
8) as for Orly continuing to send cc: to the International Criminal Bar,
the map here says it all. Old-timers will find it particularly interesting that Angola is not a member either. But Moldova is. Since 2010.
