Today is an important day for Orly Taitz in Mississippi. The hearing on motions to dismiss and for judgment on the pleadings from all of the plaintiffs, the Mississippi Democratic Party, the Secretary of State of Mississippi, the Hawaii Defendants, President Obama et al. is scheduled for 1 PM (Central Standard Time, UTC-6).
The case hasn’t gone well for her so far. I can only assume that Taitz filed suit in Mississippi because she thought the political climate there would be more amenable to attacks against a black President. Wrong! Like most birthers, Taitz believes that her prior losses were due to drawing the wrong judge, not because of lack of merit in her cases. Not only did this case, Taitz v. Democrat Party of Mississippi, become largely moot because of her own actions, she encountered unexpected strength in the opposition, from attorneys Begley and Tepper, and she drew a very competent federal judge, Wingate. Wingate ruled against her pro hac vice admission to practice in Mississippi. Orly’s other Plaintiff’s have not held up their side of the suit. Tepper seems motivated to do more than just get this settled in the defendants’ favor, but also to recover costs, and as to Taitz’ one-woman legal jihad against the President, shut that whole thing down.
TAITZ LOSES SUIT(case)
So today is the big day when 9 months of labor come to a head—and Orly has lost her luggage. Do people still check luggage for an overnighter? Apparently Orly does. Airlines warn you not to put anything critical in checked luggage, things you cannot do without, like medications, legal papers and your black lawyer dress. Orly says she will have to appear in Court in jeans and without her papers.
Sources indicate that there will be extensive Obot reporting from Mississippi and we’ll look forward to that, I hope later today. This lost luggage will have a significant impact on one of the most important aspects of the hearing, the fashion report. I hope everybody brought coats; it’s 34 degrees in Jackson this morning.

Following is an opposition motion to the dismissal filed by Taitz on Nov. 14.

Oh wow. I thought the title of this article was some sort of metaphor. The fact that she literally lost her luggage makes it even more hilarious than usual.
Thanks for pointing out the possibility. I have added the section heading: TAITZ LOSES SUIT(case).
I bet that the luggage is where it’s supposed to be and Orly’s lost.
LOL! Yup, this is gonna be a wild day!
She lost her suit and later she’ll lose her suit. (Good reminder that lawyer suit != law suit.)
Did she also drop her briefs?
*bada-bing-bing*
“Did she also drop her briefs?”
Ewwww.
What time is the hearing?
The suitcase has a better chance of winning than she does.
Could that be considered a hate crime, if she did?
1 PM.
Anyone sure she isn’t lying? The OrlyLaw equivalent of “the dog ate my homework”?
Empty suitcase vs. empty chair? Well, I’d rather watch Celebrity Deathmatch instead…
Crimes against humanity.
I think that is 1 PM CST.
Isn’t this entire proceeding moot, since the election is over so there no longer exists a ballot to have Obama’s name on it or not. The certification of the electoral vote is likewise moot, since there are no electoral votes for Obama in Mississippi, I understand Orly thinks that the political climate for her nonsense is more favorable in red states (that is debatable) but there is nothing she could possibly accomplish there now. I am afraid she will have to file in states Obama actually won. Not that she will win there either.
The election challenge is, in my onion, moot, but her racketeering case is independent of the election.
Carryon or courier… isn’t that basic lawyering 101?
Orly does belong in The Onion.
When I first read this, I thought you wrote “crayon.” Which is appropriate.
A civil RICO case, like any civil lawsuit, requires actual damages. The only difference is that the plaintiff can get triple damages. But 3x $0 = $0. Unless Orly is using Karl Rove math, where 3 x 0 = 20 gazillion. Even if all of her allegations were true, where are the damages? What exactly could the judge DO if he found in Orly’s favor?
I want proof that the airline lost her luggage. Where’s the original, vault-copy, long version of the form she filled out to claim her luggage?
Didn’t she claim her laptop disappeared before?
Wow…just wow…
Then again, when things are already spiraling out of control, it increases the liklihood of other things going wrong…we could be in for a spectacular crash and burn meltdown in court today…
She will of course blame getting her butt handed to her in court on the loss of her luggage, and then claim that the airline is an accomplice to forgery and high treason.
That’s what I’m hoping for!
I’m also hoping for a “It’s not my fault! Let me feeeenish!”
As well as a “Mrs. Taitz, you coming to court unprepared is your problem, not ours!”
So this dimbulb actually packed her legal papers in her suitcase, which then got lost by the airlines?? This story is so stupid it HAS to be true.
Only Orly could possibly manage to snafu a case so badly. Her legal mistakes are so basic that i have sometimes wondered if she did them on purpose, but for what reason I cannot even guess.
So after 9 months of preperation she is going to show up in court in jeans, with no legal documents or notes and plead lost lugguage. She will probably ask for a continuence and Tepper will object. Hopefully the judge will not grant it and we can all be entertained by her becoming more frazzled earlier than usual and to a greater degree.
God I would pay to see this show!
Orly seems to be lining up her whining excuses ahead of time. This sounds just like the high school excuse “the dog ate my homework”…
After this fiasco, the only thing left for the Clown Queen of Birthers to do is get a slot on the Birther King’s show, The Apprentice.
The birther queen of torts has lost her shorts?
Damn, it’s true, Soros really can make anything happen!
speaking of the ditz
In the Mississippi case, Taitz cited her work on the birther movement.
“As stated previously, Taitz made a superhuman effort of working 24/7 for 4 years in gathering information and serving defendants with subpoenas to appear in court and provide evidence,” Taitz wrote in the court papers.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/16/birther-vermont_n_2146210.html?utm_hp_ref=politics
Superhuman?
The only “Superhuman” whom she is equal to, that comes to mind is “Challenge of the Superfriends”-era Bizarro.
“Me am lose case, therefore victor! Me now use moon laser, make everyone Bizaroo!”
Note INFORMATION links added to the article.
You spoil us, Doc!
The same Soros operatives who went back in time to insert the fake birth notices in Hawai’ian papers went forward in time and stole Orly’s luggage.
Sillies.
One extremely important item came out in hearing, about which I am very happy. The Hawaii Defendants are NOT paying for the Mississippi attorney. The Hawaii Attorney General’s office is the one who engaged Mr. Dukes.
Taitz was gobsmacked!
“None of your relief gives you what you want. All your base are belong to us.”
That’s Orly—shocked by the utterly predictable…
I guessed wrong on this one too, but then I am not a lawyer.
Okay folks, place your bets! Who will she blame first?
My money is on the airline. I predict she will claim it is run by Obama “operatives”, then she will make some far out of left field connections to “prove” her suspicions are accurate.
Same people who create the chem trails, no doubt stole her luggage
OK, basically the hearing went for 5 hours. Motions are to be submitted next week, so probably the earliest anything could be decided is Friday, or the week after. It looks like dismissal of the Hawaii Defendants is a slam dunk.
Your best source today will be the RC Radio show (link in the article above). That’s where I’ll be listening at 9 EST.
Thanks for spilling the beans.
Oh good! That means Orly will crow about how she “won” for a week, only to get slapped down hard, yet again!

Ha ha. I loved this part:
Also she’s going to sue the Electoral College to stop them from placing their votes. Is the EC an actual entity that would be subject to things like law suits? I thought it was just a collection of 538 individuals. Could any judge enjoin the EC to stop them from voting even if that judge wanted to?
Liked this sentence at the end, which I’ve seen in similar forms on other Orly articles:
I like how Orly Taitz, ostensibly a lawyer litigating extremely important and historic cases, acts like a lazy 8th grader trying to put together a research paper for her 5th period History class.
WTF has she been doing for the last 4 years?
Sibley is suing them as a class in DC.
I don’t see how this would work. In effect, he is asking a court to ORDER a democratically-elected body to vote (or not vote) in a particular way. This would open the door to courts ordering Congess to vote yea or nay on legislation. Courts can invalidate legislation, but have (wisely) never seen it as within their powers to attempt to direct legislative votes.
If the actors of Carry On movies were still around to make these silly movies, imagine what fun they and we would have with “Carry On Birfing”.
Since someone may actually want to make one in 2016, I am not going to divulge my plot proposals, just remeber I am available for a fee. But it would definitely involve some Moldovan heroine, I mean heroin queen, an Italian actor (who MUST have been in at least one Godfather film before), a bankrupt lawyer from Transsylvania called Phil Mountain and a Bulgarian print type specialist with bogus diplomas and references.
Although of course, all the diplomas of these fine and honorable gentlemen and ladies will be bogus, as bought from a diploma mill in Cluj, Romania. (seems they have a big Dental Institute there, will lots of French, Italian, English and US students)
Oh, and I will insist on an ending where the Moldovan heroin queen is frantically pursued by men in white coats shouting “Infamy, infamy! They’ve all got it infamy!”
Sorry, but the The Onion requires at least a minuscule amount of believability.
😆
Doc, I recommend Thrifty’s comment as a Quote of the Day.
And wit. Something Orly has a negative amount of
Like this: Chicago Aldermen To Oversee Iraq Voting
http://www.thespoof.com/news/us/9898/chicago-aldermen-to-oversee-iraq-voting
Actually he is only suing the three electors for the District of Columbia. It is unclear if he has served any of the defendants.
http://www.civilforfeiture.com/blog/ECComplaint.pdf
You seem to have missed where Apuzzo turned the word minuscule into a substantive. I would rephrase that as a minuscule of believability. It is a birther, and on top of that Taitz we are talking about, after all.
Hm, he was saying he’s only suing the three of them because going after 538 would be impracticable. So, he probably did at least attempt to serve them.
Note that it being impracticable will not stop Taitz.
When she has found out that the Electoral College is not a Higher Institute or a school for electricians, of course.
He is suing the three as representatives of a class.
I see that now. I obviously didn’t read far enough.
Of course, his claim that they should be “readily identifiable” is dubious, considering that none of the electors have been certified yet.
I would question whether the Superior Court in D.C. has any jurisdiction over electors, not that Sibley has a chance of prevailing.
I wonder if the Electoral College has a copy of Obama’s admissions application.
Maybe Orly should send them a subpoena.
To her, it’s a School for Scandal. Apologies to RB Sheridan.
One thing that I was also wondering about:
He writes that the EC casts its votes secretly, is that correct? If so, how can he even enjoin anyone effectively from voting for Obama? How could anyone ever prove who voted for Obama?
Even if a court entertained his follies, if Obama received all 320-something EC votes, how could anyone go after any elector without trying to unravel a secret voting procedure?
Shouldn’t he rather seek for a ruling that enjoins Congress from certifying any Obama vote?
For those who might come in late, and just to make sure no one gets the wrong impression, the Courts have no power what-so-ever to enjoin the EC from voting nor to enjoin Congress from certifying that vote.
Every one here is mocking the very idea, not suggesting practical approaches.
Birther, correct? Surely ye jest.
The electors sign their votes and they are submitted to Congress. It’s public record:
http://www.archives.gov/federal-register/electoral-college/2008-certificates/
Obama registered at the Electoral College as a foreign student so he could get a Fullbright Grant for his campaign.
No kidding! The words “birther” and “correct” go together like Milk and OJ.
Orange Julius? Dreamsicles? Dream Cooler?
Citrus and dairy are a popular combination, they balance well.
I’d say they go together like a function and an infinite limit. If de birfer ever were correct, it would no longer be a birfer.
They get so much trouble from unwillingmess to acknowledge error. What wondrous mileage they achieve!
Nice enlightenment-age theatre reference.
And he’s spent at least a billion dollars to keep those records sealed and secret.
Oh, right! I think I blocked Orange Julius from my mind, because I miss them so.
You and me both! OJs, Winchell’s, and See’s candies, where have you gone? If you’re destined for diabetes, you may as well go in style. I was drug east, and they all stayed west.
I used to pour OJ into milk when I was 5, and swear it tasted great. It isn’t quite that simple…
EDIT: Oh snap, there IS an OJ here now …. 😀
Thanks for clearing that up, I wasn’t familiar with that part of the process.
And now Orly has submitted “proofs of service” which make it abundantly clear that she is not suing Onaka and Fuddy as individuals but in their official capacities. We know this because Orly never attempted to serve them personally. Instead, she tried to serve the attorney general’s office. As Jack Ryan put it, “Thank you, Orly, for providing proof that, contrary to your assertion in court in MS, you served Onaka and Fuddy in their official capacity, not individually.”

Orly just digs a deeper hole for herself.
