Discuss away!
I’ll throw out another conversation starter – Birther Queen Orly Taitz is in the news again. This time she’s trying to stop another deployment (someone who got the U.S. government to pay for their medical school and now wants to get out of their commitment). Anyway, Taitz comes off as completely clueless, especially in this part:
In her final argument, Taitz asked Land why she had to prove a “Kenyan birth certificate” she submitted as evidence was authentic, yet her opponents didn’t have to prove Obama had an authentic United States birth certificate.
“Who has the burden of establishing that the president of the United States is not eligible to serve in his office?” Land asked Taitz.
The judge then pointed out that burden fell on Rhodes because she sought the restraining order to stop her deployment.
I can’t believe this woman managed to pass the bar exam in California without understanding the simple concepts of law. I’ve never been to law school and even I understand “burden of proof.” What a loon.
