I wonder if she is a mail order bride, just like her law degree?

I know that is not a true ad hominem, but do you have to get so personal. Whilst you may not agree with her, there is no need for disparaging remarks like that.

Maybe when Taitz becomes a real lawyer she will appreciate what just happened. I wonder if she is a mail order bride, just like her law degree? She is perfect reporter material for “Fake News”, where unfounded rumors and innuendo reign supreme , unlike a our US courts of law, where you need to present documented facts, not half baked lies (prepare for more failures).

When flies get too close to the lights they get burned, Taitz just got burned, thing is, like a fly she will continue, no end in sight. Poor little Birthers they are haters not debaters.

A lawyer, dentist, realtor and black belt, wow I must say a JACK of all trades master of none.

Firstly because of the precedent it will set. How can the Democrats possibly criticise a future Republican (or succeeding party) president or congress of stripping courts of power for political leverage if they do it themselves?

Second, a more far fetched reason but we will play along, what if a circumstance does arrive when there actually is an ineligible person holding onto the presidency and congress is unwilling to act? Surly then you would want to return those powers to the courts.

Fining people who are brining about frivolous lawsuits is the right way of dealing with these problem, because you hear their case, then hand out the punishment if it is found to be frivolous. Assuming all cases of this nature are frivolous without hearing them and blocking court access is a gross violation of due process.
