Miami Herald:

A request to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito by "birther" attorney Orly Taitz asking that $20,000 in sanctions against her be reversed was referred on Tuesday to the entire court.

U.S. District Court Judge Clay Land imposed the sanctions last year after he warned her and then gave her a time limit to explain why he shouldn't fine her in the September 2009 case of Capt. Connie Rhodes, who questioned the legitimacy of Barack Obama's presidency.

Taitz appealed the sanctions to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta. That court upheld the sanctions in March, and Taitz sent an application for stay to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on July 8. Thomas denied it a week later.

Taitz then refiled it with Alito on Aug. 4. That request was referred on Tuesday to the entire nine-member court, the Supreme Court's website states.

Got that? Taitz chose the two most conservative teabagging justices on the U.S. Supreme Court. One declined; one accepted, at least to the extent of passing it around to the rest of them.

It's not like we didn't already know Alito was a reactionary hater, but this goes far beyond the pale. Orly Taitz is a half-wit publicity-seeking nutcase who has just been granted a piece of the Supreme Court's attention. I think we can safely assume Alito shares Taitz' agenda to delegitimize the President of the United States.

Oh, and poor Orly is having a problem because she's facing a lien on her property...

1. That is completely normal. If Alito didn't refer it to the court, she would be able to try again

with other justices.

In fact, this has happened before with a different birther.

2. Isn't it funny how important stuff like torture of American prisoners can't be heard by the full

SCOTUS, but nonsense like this goes forward?

[nevergiveup]

3. Alito is still pissed that the president

called them out at the State of the Union. This is his payback.

5. No, it's not. It's SOP. n/t

4. He is putting an end to it. Had he denied her, she would keep refiling.

6. She's like that fucking mosquito that keeps buzzing around your ear at night

She just doesn't go away.
