Orly Taitz: If the Military Was Smarter, It Could Have Prevented Fort Hood

Orly Taitz, who really seems to be staring down the end of her 15 minutes of fame, has filed a motion of reconsideration in Barnett et al v. Obama et al, her California “birther” lawsuit that was dismissed on Oct. 29. It’s the usual Taitzian ramble of made-up facts and cries for revenge ... but there’s a classy new twist in her argument that the courts must allow soldiers to disobey the commander in chief.

Recent terrorist incident at Fort Hood has given this question paramount importance. This order has advocated blind obedience by the members of the military. If someone were to have common sense, brains and strength of character to challenge allegiance of Nidal Malik Hasan in court, after he made numerous anti-American and antimilitary statements, maybe 12 young boys wouldn’t be 6 feet under today, maybe 12 mothers and 12 fathers wouldn’t had their hearts ripped out of their chests and torn apart.

Start an office pool: "How long til Orly's in a padded cell?"

2. If she is going to use the Ft. Hood shooting in such a self serving

and crass way, at least she could get the facts right.

13 victims. 3 were women, 5 over the age of 50. Not 12 young boys.

3. "She could get the facts right" is a vain hope, I think: her concept of "facts" is unusual

4. Wasn't there a woman killed too?

6. Why does she get to continually open her pie hole with rubbish?

7. WELL well well is she suggesting that republicans could do it better

In that case if republicans are smarter, why in the devil doesn't she go on a campaign to get republicans to enlist in the service. You know like the wonderful descendants of men like George W. Bush, AWOL and proud of it. Cheney had too many other things to do. And all the rest of the good old white boy republicans in congress and around the country.
