Why is this woman not smiling?

Probably because a judge just told her to finally knock off her stupid bullshit:

U.S. District Court Judge Clay Land delivered a stinging rebuke to unofficial Birther leader Orly Taitz in a tour de force order throwing out yet another of Taitz's lawsuits today. And he warned Taitz that she could face sanctions if she submits any "similarly frivolous" (read: birther-motivated) filing.

Taitz has filed multiple "birther soldier" lawsuits, in which a member of the military claims he or she does not have to follow deployment orders because President Obama is illegitimate.

The 14-page order, which you can read in full here, throws out a complaint by Army Capt. Connie Rhodes, who cited "conscientious objections" to serving under the "de facto president," Barack Obama. It was first reported by the Ledger-Enquirer of Columbus, Georgia.

Land, of the Middle District of Georgia, begins his order by outlining Taitz's MO, noting that "counsel has managed to fuel this 'birther movement' with her litigation and press conferences, she does not appear to have prevailed on a single claim."

Then he turns to tearing apart the complaint of the moment:

First, Plaintiff's challenge to her deployment order is frivolous. She has presented no credible evidence and has made no reliable factual allegations to support her unsubstantiated, conclusory allegations and conjecture that President Obama is ineligible to serve as President of the United States. Instead, she uses her Complaint as a platform for spouting political rhetoric, such as her claims that the President is "an illegal usurper, an unlawful pretender, [and] an unqualified imposter."

The judge lambastes Taitz's logic, writing: "Unlike in Alice in Wonderland, simply saying something is so does not make it so."

He describes the complaint's assertion that Obama has the burden to prove his "natural born" status as "a remarkable shifting of the traditional legal burden of proof." And he says even a middle schooler could see the irony here

Thus, Plaintiff's counsel, who champions herself as a defender of liberty and freedom, seeks to use the power of the judiciary to compel a citizen, albeit the President of the United States, to "prove his innocence" to "charges" that are based upon conjecture and speculation. Any middle school civics student would readily recognize the irony of abandoning fundamental principles upon which our Country was founded in order to purportedly "protect and preserve" those very principles.

Taitz didn't immediately respond to a call seeking comment about the judge's threat of sanctions.

Now if only a judge would do something about those damn 9/11 truthers...

 

[Ame®icano]

Is this the same case?

A California judge today tentatively scheduled a trial for Jan. 26, 2010, for a case that challenges Barack Obama's eligibility to be president based on questions over his qualifications under the requirements of the U.S. Constitution.

Don't give them any ideas. They're already claiming that the "Obama = Hitler" protesters are plants.
