Supreme Court upholds ‘birther’ sanction | The Daily Caller - Breaking News, Opinion, Research, and Entertainment
WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court has upheld a $20,000 fine against a leader of the movement challenging President Barack Obamas citizenship.
The high court on Monday refused to block a federal judges October 2009 ruling that required California lawyer and dentist Orly Taitz to pay the $20,000 fine for filing a frivolous litigation. The judge said Taitz attempted to misuse the federal courts to push a political agenda.
Justice Samuel Alito on Monday rejected Taitzs second request to block the sanctions. Justice Clarence Thomas had rejected the request earlier.
