Appeals court hears arguments in Obama birth suit
By GREG RISLING, May 2, 10:09 pm ET
PASADENA, Calif. – Leaders in the so-called "birther" movement argued their case over President Barack Obama's U.S. citizenship before a federal appeals court Monday in Southern California, claiming the full birth certificate he released last week had been doctored.
But it was unclear how far their arguments would go, given the previous failed lawsuits on the issue and concern from the court about whether the latest claim was filed too late to be considered.
Obama's production of the vital record was aimed at quashing any lingering doubt among critics who contend he shouldn't have been elected because he couldn't prove he was a citizen — a prerequisite for the nation's highest office.
But it has not deterred Orly Taitz, an attorney at the forefront of the birther movement. On Monday, Taitz told a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals that the long-form birth certificate released by Obama is "not a true and correct image."
"It's very inventive computer art," she said.

Taitz said she believes the birth record was falsified.
After the hourlong hearing, she said the document's serial number was out of sequence, the typing wasn't aligned, and it was printed on green paper instead of white paper like other Hawaiian birth records of that era.
She added she wants to travel to Hawaii with a forensic expect to look at Obama's records.
Both Taitz and Kreep have been unable to convince courts around the nation their lawsuits have merit. Among their arguments — Obama may have dual citizenship and the president's alleged use of multiple Social Security numbers.

For the birther movement, the 9th Circuit appeal is a difficult platform in which to make its argument. Not only are plaintiffs arguing before one of the nation's more liberal courts, they face bad timing with the recent release of Obama's birth certificate and the announcement that terrorist Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. forces, which gives Obama political strength.

Well I see I've been spelling Taitz' name wrong, which shows you how much I care about the looney bitch.
We have our own local looney bitch.
We should just deport her and be done with it.
"Orly Taitz was born to a Jewish family in Chişinău, Moldavian SSR in the Soviet Union (present day Moldova).[6] Both of her parents were science teachers.[10] In 1981, Orly immigrated to Israel"
Since she was born in 1960, that means that she was a communist for 21 years, at least.
Right?
Who's to say she isn't still a Communist today? Deport her, I say! Be done with her!
Could we just shorten her last name to "Titz"
She certainly is a boob.
