Key Birther Lawyer Was Disbarred … In 2004

[RamboLiberal]

One of the more amusing quirks of the “birther” movement is the quality of the legal minds in whom Obama birth certificate obsessives are placing their trust — and their occasional donations. Phil Berg, the original “birther” lawyer, has been forced to pay out sanctions for legal malpractice. Orly Taitz, famously, got her law degree from an online correspondence school. And it turns out that Charles Lincoln, who has been assisting Taitz — he provided judges with amended complaints in Keyes et al v. Obama et al last week and he showed up at the last hearing on the case— has been disbarred in California, as well as Florida and Texas.

From the May 2004 issue of the California Bar Journal, which reported on the matter:

In 2000, Lincoln was convicted in Texas on a federal charge of falsely representing his Social Security number, a felony. As a result, he gave up his license to practice in the state.

Originally charged with five felonies, the case resulted from Lincoln applying for a checking account using a false Social Security number.

In a second matter, he was disbarred from U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas after a federal judge requested an investigation of Lincoln because two of his clients had a falsified receipt. The receipt purported to be from the federal court clerk and represented funds the clients had given Lincoln. The clients believed Lincoln was depositing their money in an escrow account related to their case.

2. The cream of our legal crop,

4. Online law school

That's like those spam emails where you can get your degree online from a "prestigious NONACCREDITED University"

6. You know,

it used to be here in Virginia that you did not need to go to law school in order to be able to become a lawyer.

You did need to serve at least one year's clerkship with a licensed attorney, and then you could take the exam. Multistate, too, I believe. I don't know if that law is still in force.

As horrifying as I found that fact when I first learned of it, the idea of someone like that fuckstick becoming a licensed member of the Bar is more than I, who got her license the old-fashioned way - studying and working hard - can bear..................................

[liberalhistorian]

16. LOL! She, herself, is not a "natural born" American, having

emigrated here in 1987 from Moldavia. Not to mention she got her license from a CA cracker jack box online school. Not to mention that her legal documents look like they were prepared by a second-grader.

7. Once the GOP finds an issue that will keep the freepers all worried and axiety riddled,

they put their possy behind it and the money begins to flow in that direction. Why? because it keeps freepers as supporters of the GOP rather than perhaps learning to like Obama and learning anew to vote in what would actually be their own best interests.

17. I know the original lawyer

He's a nutjob attention whore

Lives in my area, and used to attend our Dem meetings and cause trouble. His son almost started a fistfight at a meeting, and they haven't been back since.

If he's any indication of the birther mentality, they're all crazy attention whores

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
