"(CN) - The Supreme Court on Monday upheld a $20,000 fine against California attorney Orly Taitz, a leader of the "birther" movement challenging President Obama's citizenship.
Taitz appealed the fine to Justice Samuel Alito after the 11th Circuit backed U.S. District Judge Clay Land's decision to impose the fine "as a deterrent to prevent future misconduct and to protect the integrity of the court."
"The absolute absence of any legitimate legal argument, combined with the political diatribe in her motions, demonstrates that Ms. Taitz's purpose is to advance a political agenda and not to pursue a legitimate legal cause of action," Land wrote in his 43-page ruling.
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta agreed, calling Taitz's arguments "unpersuasive."
...
Justice Alito rejected Taitz's appeal without comment."
Nah, not even close. Get in your car and drive across these states and tell me what you see. It ain't Gary, IN
I did. Kentucky calls itself the 'birthplace of Lincoln'. Indiana says its where 'Lincoln grew up'. Illinois says its the 'land of Lincoln'. There seems to be a common denominator.
Did you see where Obama's next door neighbor sold his house? He's a white man married to a black woman and they bought the house in 1973. You get many white folks around you buying houses from black folks? Or old white men married to black women?
In the president's neighborhood, there are ***anese-Americans from the WWII camps, a WWII war crimes prosecutor, three synagogues, two mosques, many Christian churches including Mormons, Unitarians and Seventh Day Adventists. His alderman is a black woman married to a white man. His state senator is black and his state representative is white. It ain't Gary, IN which is a majority black city with a white mayor. Major American and he fits right in.
Actually, he fits right in on the South Side. And that's major American.
South Side of what.......Venezuela.....He`s more like Chavez then an American citizen.........Socialize this and take over that......he`s more a Fascist Dictator then an American......

Hmmm.... Interesting.... "Major American"... Yet, despite the fact that the head of his Council of Economic Advisors, Christina Romer, "resigned" after pointing out that tax increases are job killers, and despite the fact that his head of the Council on Debts and Deficits, Erskine Bowles, stated that the debt is a cancer and that continuing to spend like Obama has will "destroy the country from within," our "major American" President fully intends to push forward with tax increases, and not only maintain current spending levels, but increase them. One can only conclude that this President WANTS and INTENDS to kill jobs, and that he WANTS and INTENDS to destroy the country from within. I suppose that that is consistent with being a South Sider... as that area of Chicago is a slum of the worst order, where folks kill jobs through criminal activity and have destroyed that sector of the city. I find it utterly incomprehensible that ANYONE with more than two working synapses, could support his programs, unless they are, in fact, fellow "Rules for Radicals" Alinsky-ites, who are themselves intent on destroying the country.

Have you heard Reagan's appointee, David Stockman recently?
And, the statement was about the 'real America'. Folks should not consider their small, homogeneous spot in the country to contain the 'real Ameirca". The place is far more diverse than that.

Yes, it is very diverse.

Your ignorance of the South Side is glaring. The mayor, half of the 7th Circuit federal judges and the president live in a slum?

Didn't Oliver Wendell Holmes say that one should strive mightily for what one considers right "but at least consider that you may be wrong."
