Jay Bookman is in the courtroom awaiting arguments to remove Obama from 2012 GA ballot

Missives from the land of the birthers
10:27 am January 26, 2012, by Jay


I’m in the courtroom of Judge Michael Malihi, awaiting arguments in a case attempting to remove Barack Obama from the 2012 Georgia presidential ballot.

Roughly 100 people are in the courtroom, most of them older white Americans. The conversations are thick with various birthed theories being bandied about.

Dressed tastefully in black and wearing a pearl choker, The redoubtable Orly Taitz swept in a few minutes ago, making a star’s entrance amid whispers of “look, there she is!”

A bailiff has summoned attorneys for the plaintiffs and defendants into chambers for a pre-hearing conference. Since the Obama camp has decided to boycott the hearing, only the four plaintiffs’ attorneys, including Taitz, are in the session.

The plaintiffs have queued up a number of exhibits, including CBS and ABC videos reporting on Obama’s time in Indonesia. No sign of whether such exhibits will be allowed.

Or are they allowed to wear them in court, along with the pearl necklaces?

It seems like the perfect time to throw a net over her and let the men in white haul her off to the funny farm.

She has been cited in so many courts by many judges as having abused the system, the California Bar has been investigating since 2010 yet she still has her license. It boggles the mind.
