California bar considering disciplinary action against Orly Taitz

By GottaLaff

Orly Taitz has crossed more lines than a snail on a sidewalk, than a crosswalk guard at an elementary school, than Apolo Ohno winning races at the Olympics.

Yesterday I wrote about how she invaded a woman's privacy by posting her name, address, and phone number online.

Now it seems the California bar is none too thrilled with her:

California bar now considering disciplinary action against birther lawyer Orly Taitz.

Gee, I guess that would kinda put a cramp in her efforts to run for California's Secretary of State:

The Orange County registrar has confirmed that Orly Taitz -- the de facto leader of the "birther" movement trying to prove President Obama wasn't born in the United States -- has qualified to run for secretary of state. And her main opponent is a man who has only ever voted once.

If she can qualify, then so can


Fun fact: Secretaries of state are responsible for elections.

At least Taitzie is an equal opportunity sewer, er, sue-er:

But Obama isn't the only politician Taitz is challenging on the grounds of eligibility. She is using the same tactic against her Republican primary opponent for secretary of state, Damon Dunn. Taitz filed a criminal complaint against Dunn, claiming he is ineligible to run in the GOP primary because he hasn't been registered as a Republican long enough.

And by equal opportunity, I mean racist:

An investigation by Spencer Kornhaber at OC Weekly into her claims concluded they were "false."

Kornhaber can't help but notice that both Obama and Dunn are black. "Orly Taitz seems to have a thing for raising questions about black politicians' eligibility for office," he quips.

She is having one very positive effect:

Hawaii is debating legislation that would allow it to stop responding to requests for Obama's birth certificate. Officials say they still receive 10 to 20 such requests per week.

Maybe we should all send her our thanks.
