Ladies and gentlemen of the DailyKos community, it's a rare opportunity to address you to provide an award to someone who deserves said recognition. Someone whose abject, mind-numbing thickheadedness is only matched by her devotion to a cause that's so out there that her primary cohort is Donald Trump.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Stupidest Attorney in the World: Orly Taitz.
Won't you follow me after the jump to find out how Taitz can't follow rules as well as my four-year-old daughter.
Orly Taitz is convinced that President Obama's social security number (SSN) is not from his real birthplace - Hawaii - but from Connecticut. All part of the government-wide conspiracy to allow a communist/fascist/Kenyan to occupy the White House. As part of her attempt to prove that Obama's SSN is from CT, she's filing a FOIA suit against the Social Security Administration to get the goods on the President.
Civil procedure rules are pretty simple when talking about SSNs in filings. You can only show the last four numbers of an SSN, the first five numbers must be redacted - so nobody can see them.
That's it. Those are the instructions. Black out the first five numbers, leave the last four visible. End of instructions.
Dentist/lawyer Taitz can't do that. In multiple filings, she's gotten the instructions completely backwards - leaving the first five numbers visible and redacting the last four.
U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth - after telling her multiple times to do it right - isn't having any more of Taitz.
Plaintiff is either toying with the court or displaying her own stupidity...
Dang, dem is some strong words from a judge in an order.
But then, we're talking about Taitz aren't we.
Read the order and have a bunch of laughs on Orly -- the Worst Attorney in the World.
