UPDATE: Birther Scorecard as of January 19, 2012

:

Wolf v Fuddy should probably have a "Rehearing Denied" line added - 1st CC denied that motion on 12 January.

I disagree, respectfully, of course. Denined is denined at that level.

And, there's been no rehearing... there was a motion for one, but no hearing.

The trial court entries for the various Taitz cases, including Taitz v Fuddy, seem to have similar notations. Technically, both last week's hearing in Wolf v Fuddy and the 6 Jan hearing in Taitz v Fuddy were on Rule 60 motions for rehearing.

I'll pass you information on to the author. I'm sure it will be considered.

How are the three GA cases going to be scored?

Birther win if Mahili recommends leaving Obama off the ballot?
Birther win if SoS leaves Obama off the ballot?

Since this is an administrative law court with no power to enforce anything then the decision of the SoS is the first true determination in the case. It would be the equivalent of a ruling of a magistrate judge in a federal court. I also would suggest that this is really a single case and not three. The SoS is going to issue one ruling and not three separate rulings.

And what the judge will release isn't a ruling, it's just a recommendation. So I would say nothing gets added till Kemp makes his determination.

And as is only appropriate on a day/week like this one, the Birther Case List has been updated.

If you'll look and Ankeny and Tisdale you'll also see a new line added (and it will most likely increase in use

) in cases heard "on the merits"

Finding Obama is NBC :-bd

Time for GA scoring? I think it should count as TWO cases -- two almost-identical "Minor" and .... one "minimus"?

"Minor" and .... DE "minimus"?

"Da Minor" and "De Minimus"

Offtopic :

For non-British readers : students at public (=private) schools were addressed by surname only, so siblings were designated major (oldest), minor (younger/est) and minimus (youngest)

Quote:

When John Major returned from service in India he retired with the rank of major to his country estate which he called Mahal. The rambling old mansion was so named because Major Major liked to think the Raj lived on in his Raj Mahal. Such was his quirky sense of humor that he named his surviving identical triplets John Major (major), John Major (minor) and John Major (minimus). All three sons, major, minor and minimus had been sent back from India to be schooled at Eton and Sandhurst, the Royal Army Military College. In the course of time, each son had earned the rank of major. On formal occasions such as the family gathering at the Raj Mahal at Christmas, the eldest son was called Major John Major, major. The middle son was Major John Major, minor and the youngest was Major John Major, minimus.

I think a patricide based upon that would have been fully defensible.

I noticed that, then lost the thread. OK, I was actually mired in the GA thread like everyone else.

But.... with the section on eligibility challenges at the bottom, I expected to find the three AL cases to be there.

I think Tes puts the actual court cases in the main section, and ballot commissions or administrative (non-judicial) in the addendum.

I'm assuming someone will announce here when we officially determine a 100th birther case loss.

Cuz there'll be all kinds of awards and prizes and celebrations and such.

Now that the cases in GA are moving into the judicial branch as appeals will they become "official" cases?

In regards to #100, I think we should start considering the rules for tiebreaking. it is possible that the the three cases in Georgia will be dismisssed on the same day. is it posible to tell from the docket entry what time of day the dismissal orders were entered into the docket?

Reality Check · **Posted:** Thu Feb 16, 2012 9:23 am

For reasons of poetic justice it should be Farrar's case but with Taitz removed as the attorney of record (because her PHV applications gets denied) and not as a pro se plaintiff (because she was not a plaintiff in the original case and is not a resident of Georgia). The irony would be delicious. She would be denied the infamy of being the attorney on the 100th failed case birther through her own incompetence. Even her failures are failures.

(H/T to AnitaMaria on RC Radio for pointing out that this could happen. =D>

Especially when Orly has failed to follow the rules when applying PHV. I wonder when she is going to contact the Georgia State Bar and do whatever they are supposed to do? Does this state bar have any teeth/power?

Falsehoods unchallenged only fester and grow.
