I still can't get my mind wrapped around fact that Orly has just filed a motion demanding that an appeals court order the US military to take possession of a wide range of documents - including many that contain private details of individuals with no earthly connection to the case - from one of the 50 states, when that state is not a party to the underlying case, and when the records in question WERE NEVER FREAKING SUBPOENAED IN THIS CASE to begin with.
I can get bits and pieces of that to stick, but every time I try to grasp the entire splendor of the concept my mind simply rebels.
Can't blame you for a New York second. Moreover, Mike, since you're havin' some trouble cogitatin' and grasping the big picture and stuff, I certainly won't be the one to remind you that
this is the same lawsuit wherein she asked a federal judge to order Secretary of State Clinton to fly to Kenya to attempt to authenticate a prank birth certificate with the Kenyan government, way back in 2009. Yep, same case. Or that the whole lawsuit was originally based on an executive order that explicitly said it wasn't grounds for a lawsuit ... an order that never applied to the president in any event.
This case has it all. This one is the Big Enchilada. This one isn't just outside the box. This case and the box have never shared the same galaxy.
'Course, we all know that Orly has a high probability of prevailing on her mandEmus, too also, because the Ninth Circuit judges are huge supporters of O'rly. If you'll be so kind as to recall, back in May, just days after President Obama, in a state of total panic, released the long-form birth certificate and killed Osama bin Ladin in a pathetic attempt to somehow distract attention from this case ... the Big Enchilada ... the Ninth Circuit judges were so favorably impressed by her professional demeanor and her awesome rhetorical skill as an advocate that they listened to her oral argument in rapt attention, never daring to interrupt the brilliant stream of analogies and arcane references to critically important precedents from prior litigation.
Teh awesome; she haz it. The mind reels.
