Dentist-Lawyer Orly Taitz Sues VP Kamala Harris, Claims Trump Impeachment Trial Is Unconstitutional

Orly Taitz, the conspiracy theorist, dentist, and attorney who led the “birther” movement’s litigation to contest the reality that Barack Obama was born in the United States, is suing Vice President Kamala Harris and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) in an attempt to stop the U.S. Senate from presiding over a trial connected to former President Donald Trump’s historic second impeachment.

In a Thursday press release, Taitz said the lawsuit, filed on behalf of the Defend Our Freedoms Foundation, or DOFF, would attempt to persuade a court that any upcoming Trump impeachment trial in the U.S. Senate would be unconstitutional. Her rationale is that the “plain language” of the Constitution allows only an impeachment “trial of a sitting president, not a private individual,” and gives the Senate “only one remedy, removal from office.” Taitz says any attempt to try Trump in the senate would merely be an attempt to prevent the ex-president “from running for office again,” and she says such a move would “deprive” DOFF members of their “First Amendment right for the [sic] political speech, namely, to vote for Donald Trump in future elections.”

The press release asks people to donate money to support the litigation.

The actual lawsuit, which was filed in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Santa Ana Division, describes itself as a complaint for injunctive and declaratory relief. It says “nearly 75 million Americans,” or “roughly half of the US voters,” cast ballots for Donald Trump in Nov. 2020 and “intend to vote for him in 2024.”

1. Nutso Taitz grifter cha-ching attorney . . . ..

[Warren_Pointe]

2. And here I was thinking they'd already scraped the bottom of the barrel.

Must have looked under the barrel.

[Turbineguy]

3. I was wondering

when she'd show up.

[PatSeg]

15. Same here

Its inevitable, the whackos eventually rear their ugly crazy heads. They can't stand not being the center of attention, though they often show up when they are in need of money as well. Always looking for their next grift.

4. She is asking for donations. Another grifter. nt

5. There's a name I haven't seen for a while....

Nice to see she's still up to her old bullshit.

[CurtEastPoint]

6. Good old Oily Taintz rears her empty head.

[yellowcanine]

7. She cannot sue on behalf of other voters.

And nothing is stopping her from throwing away her vote on Trump in 2024. There is a Constitutional right to vote but not to have your chosen candidate on the ballot. Please MSM do not give this woman any airtime.

11. DIsbarr these people

That was the first thing I thought--no standing. Kind of like the Texas AG who sued to suppress the votes in other states. He has no standing.

The GOP decried frivolous lawsuits--frivolous must mean "suing a conservative." The Courts and the State Bar associations need to pull their licenses.

He was impeached while in office, twice, and he is entitled to his hearing. Other officials have indeed been tried for their impeachment after they've left office. There was an article here on DU. That's how I know...

She's free to write in any name she chooses.

She, too, can shut the phuck all the way up.

8. Lady Justice must be so ashamed that POS grifter Taitz is rummaging under her skirt AGAIN. n/t

[marmar]

9. DOFF? .... How appropriate.

[Dirty Socialist]

10. Connunists usually decry "frivolous lawsuits"

Go to the mirror, girl

[MiniMe]

12. Why sue VP Harris? She has nothing to do with this

She doesn't even preside over the trial, the Chief Justice does, and Nancy is the one who already impeached tRump, twice. Crawl back into your hole Orly.
