a brand spanking new birther conspiracy!
Oct. 14th, 2009 10:48 amIt seems that some of the birthers, dissatisfied with the inconvenient fact that President Obama's birth certificate shows him to have been born in the US, are now taking things one step further. Is it possible that President Obama wasn't born on Planet Earth at all?
Sorry, lemme rephrase that more appropriately:
Is it possible that President Barack Obama WASN'T BORN ON PLANET EARTH AT ALL????!!!!!??
Judge Clay Land has just issued his 43-page judgment explaining why he's fining versatile dentist/attorney Orly Taitz, a chief architect of the birther "controversy", the sum of $20,000. A relevant passage on page 27 reads:
Although counsel's present concern is the location of the President's birth, it does not take much imagination to extend the theory to his birthday. Perhaps, he looks "too young" to be President, and he says he stopped counting birthdays when he reached age thirty. If he refused to admit publicly that he is older than the constitutional minimum age of thirty-five, should Ms. Taitz be allowed to file a lawsuit and have a court order him to produce his birth certificate? See U.S. Const. art. II, § 1, cl. 4. Or perhaps an eccentric citizen has become convinced that the President is an alien from Mars, and the courts should order DNA testing to enforce the Constitution.(7)
(7) The Court does not make this observation simply as a rhetorical device for emphasis; the Court has actually received correspondence assailing its previous order in which the sender, who, incidentally, challenged the undersigned to a "round of fisticuffs on the Courthouse Square," asserted that the President is not human.
