Orly Taitz Request for SCOTUS stay of the Inauguration Denied

[Hokie]

Another "Birther Case" shot down.

08A524
LIGHTFOOT, GAIL, ET AL. V. BOWEN, CA SEC. OF STATE
The application for stay addressed to The Chief Justice
and referred to the Court is denied.

I think the outcome was somewhat predictable since the Court didn't even schedule it for conference until after Obama was sworn. To be honest I can't remember if this was a request for a stay of the Inauguration or the vote certification in Congress on January 8. Not that it matters.

1. Nothing on her site yet

She's making a big deal that Fitzgerald is interviewing some people in Obama's administration, but that's only because there were conversations between these people and Blago.

I wonder when she'll rant off about her request being denied?

2. FYI. Taitz is a Dentist and received a law degree over the Internet

I think she passed the California bar exam but I thought that was odd when I read that tidbit.

3. Timing is everything when taking the bar, from what I understand

A percentage of all those taking the bar are generally passed. If you take the bar during a time when a lot of people who are not from top notch schools are taking it, you can pass more easily.

From what I understand, the bar exam is given twice annually, once after the end of the first semester in colleges and another after the second semester in colleges. The one after teh second semester is generally tougher to pass because all the students who took the usual route through college and law school are taking that test. The one after the first semester include those who failed the bar exam the first time around and people who get their JD off normal schedules.
