From one of realist's posts upthread:

The removal notice has his office contact information.

Category 5 Hurricane Orly?

I would say that is good, but Orly has no compunction about encouraging her FM's to harass any person or business. That being said, I think she may have far fewer FM's than she used to, which is why she is posting more critical email and venturing onto non-supportive sites. She finds negative attention better than no attention. If she were getting lots of fawning mail from fans, I just don't think she would bother posting the critical ones. She never used to.

Yes. Tepper's office information is already all over the Internet. (He partially owning a law firm and all.)

The burden of persuasion for meeting federal question jurisdictional standards is extremely low. Much lower than the requirements and burden of persuasion that apply to diversity jurisdiction. Any question that implicates a presidential election, which is governed by the federal Constitution, is inherently a federal question. The American people also have a recognized federal constitutional right of fairness in how elections are decided, adding to the reasons why virtually all birther lawsuits are in fact properly in federal court.

Yup, these idiot suits should be removed every time. Presidential eligibility is a federal question. Up to now, the birfers have been dealing with state agencies who are more comfortable in state courts. But now that they have engaged the party machine, the gloves are off.

Too bad that none of the birfer legal minds can formulate a proper petition/complaint. I'd much rather see a Federal court denounce the two-citizen-parent thing than a string of dismissals.

But hey, you can't make a pig's ear into a silk purse.

Me, too. Gulfport is a lovely location to hold hearings.

Yes, it is good to see the govies switching from softball to hardball.

BTW, it would appear removal is being requested by both the MS SoS and the MS Democratic Party. Although counsel for the Democratic Party did not explicitly sign the notice, counsel for the MS SoS represented that the Party is on-board and can be expected to file for joinder soon.


While it isn't an order, I wouldn't characterize it as simply a request either. A properly filed Notice of Removal has the immediate effect of suspending further state court proceedings and shifts jurisdiction to the Federal District Court until and unless the federal court remands it back to the state court. In the meantime, no court order is required to approve or authorize removal.

Good point, yes, the proceedings in State Court are definitely on hold now. But with Orly's filing skills, she had already managed to do much of the same all by herself...

If they want to bother him at the office, let them know to bring LOTS of money to park there. Century City is not cheap and I don't think he is going to offer to validate for them.

Validation is always a problem for birfers.

MS - SDMS - 2012-04-24 - TAITZ - Motion to intervene jus tertii, for the United States and all our honorable law-abiding Armed Service members - (RISENHOOVER)

BINGO!

Crazy or not, he nails this part...





I'd forgotten all about Paul.

Why does this Risenhoover nut keep filing crap in Orly's lawsuits? It seems especially strange because Orly does not bitch about him on her blog. What is his relationship with Orly?

Like any good nut, he has a radar for these things.

A question for the lawyers: Does moving this to federal court make O'rly elegible to appear as an attorney, rather than pro se?

She's not admitted to practice in the SDMS, just as she's not admitted to practice in the Circuit Court of Hinds County, MS. She would have to apply for phv to appear as an attorney in either case.

Thanks Realist. I wasn't sure if the federal court system was one unified block or not. Good to know it's not



Competence matters. Credentials (aka, Taft Law Degrees), not so much.

If you're interested in delving into the peculiarities and oddities of the U.S. court system, you've posed an interesting question.

It isn't in the least a "unified block" although, IMO, it probably should be more unified -- or at least more consistent. For the purposes of admitting attorneys to their respective bars, federal courts in some jurisdictions extend reciprocity to other jurisdictions (as long as the other jurisdictions also play the same game) whereas federal courts in other states adhere to "union rules" (i.e., if you ain't from this state, go back to square #1 and get yourself qualified from scratch).

Frankly, it's a mish-mash. On one hand, why should it matter what state an attorney is from if s/he's litigating an issue of purely federal stautory law? OTOH, when federal courts are called upon to interpret substantive state law (a situation that can occur under a number of circumstances), it's arguably better to give preference to lawyers from the particular state.

But the short answer, as Realist suggests, is that Orly gets no out-of-state free pass to stroll into Mississippi, whether it's a federal or state court she's abusing at the moment.

Orly will surely be delighted to see Lamberth's name mentioned. May this trigger the search instincts of some court clerk and get some sua sponte reactions into the proceedings

I lived through Camille in '69. Mass bedlam and destruction. O'rly is more bedlam and less destruction.

The local rules for S.D. Miss. require a sponsoring attorney for PHV applications.

here's his twitter account.

it's not all about birfers.
