Fogbow

She was flailing at the time, this was the summer of 2009, and she had discovered the miracle of original jurisdiction in the Supreme Court, which is an actual thing, but she had no chance, more below. The thing is, by this time she had become famous, her blog(s) were getting hundreds of comments a day, and she thought her case was so important -- and that SHE was so important now -- that she should only be required to practice law in the United States Supreme Court, because that was the top court in all the land.

But the Supremes, for some odd reason, did not want her. In fact, after a few things us Obots did to bring some attention to the problem, her phone calls were automatically re-routed to the Supreme Court Police Department instead of the clerk's office. I didn't know there WAS a Supreme Court Police Department, but hey, there are hundreds of police agencies in our nation's capital, why not them too?

"It's the crazy dentist from California again."

So she had to file a lot of cases (she filed a LOT of cases) in lower courts, like a normal attorney who went to law school and actually knew how to practice law. And she still hadn't figured out any of the little finicky things they make lawyers do to have a successful lawsuit, like how to serve a summons and how to fill out a form and how to read the court rules and stupid stuff like that, who needs it? Don't they understand this is a national constitutional international crisis of biblical proportions? Get off me with your damn silly rules and expecting me to know what I'm doing! The White House has a scary scary black man in it, and you gotta do something!!

But the people at the lower courts were unimpressed and kept telling her to follow the rules, it was really annoying. And one day, in utter frustration, she told us on her blog that she belonged in the Supreme Court all the time any time, and what did they expect? Did they think she was going to spend the rest of her life in the District Court of Bun-Dogs or the Circuit Court of Yahooville?

It was her lovely way of insulting the courts that most lawyers use every day of their lives, and asserting that she had reached such lofty heights of national importance -- she was on with Colbert, for gawd's sake -- that she had passed ahead of all the other lawyers and should only be practicing in the Supreme Court. And by the way, the damn Supreme Court better do what she told them, too also, or people were going to be convicted of TREASON.

So we adopted that, and I am the Lord High Muckety Muck of the Fogbow Galactic Grand Jury AND the chief judge of the District Court of Bun-Dogs, and if'n Orly don't like it, she can pound sand.

That's my final rulin', and I'm stickin' with it.

So certain cases can be brought in the Supreme Court without going through any of the lower courts, and Orly kept trying -- and failing -- to figure out how she could get a case before the Supremes without bothering with the little courts. She also flew to Idaho or someplace and was stalking Justice Roberts, he gave a speech at a university and when the time came for Q & A she jumped up and told him the clerks at the Supreme Court were criminals because they were interfering with her attempts to get a case to him. Fun times!

Yeah: The Chief was speaking at a school in Idaho, so Taitz flew to Washington and then drove to Idaho. At the end of his speech, the Chief said he would take a few questions, with the caveat he couldn't discuss anything pending before the court.

So of course Taitz grabbed the mic and launched into her pending case about Obama. And said she had a boxful of exhibits to show the Chief. Staff kindly took her box, took the mic, and then a sane person asked a real question.

The box was never seen again!

And this wasn't the only justice Taitz stalked: Scalia did a book tour. Afterward, when an author typically peddles signed copies, Taitz waited until the end of the line to chat up Scalia. Scalia said something expectedly deflectory like, "You have to file the case first!" Which OF COURSE set off Taitz's conspiracies: How could Scalia not know about the many cases she already had filed?* DAMN THOSE SHIPPING CLERKS!


* Crazy people frequently are unable to process that other crazy people also exist, and they too do things like serially file crazy lawsuits. But Tatiz doesn't care about, for example, the dude who alleges the Jackson Five were CIA plants.
