Canny McPhee Hangs Birthers Out To Dry!!!

After Doing The Innuendo Song And Dance, The Birther Was Tossed Into The Dirty Laundry Pile Where Nature Took Its Course

Well, it looks like more and more judges are getting fed up with the Birther pseudo-legal crap. Washington State Birther Linda Jordan went through the wash and rinse cycle in record time.  She filed the challenge on Monday, August 27, 2012, and she was dismissed WITH PREJUDICE on Wednesday August 30, 2012.

Once again, The Fogbow and Jack Ryan are there first with a copy of the decision:

Washington State Birther Spanking Order

Judge Wm. Thomas McPhee went out of his way to castigate not just Ms. Jordan, but the whole Birther movement. Here are some excerpts which deal specifically with the Birther issue.  I wrote them out this way so they are copy and pastable. I have bolded and paragraphed them a little to make it easier to read:

The birther movement has been a subplot on the fringe of the political spectrum in the U.S. for about five years. Recent history is not the first time it has been raised. In 1880 Chester Arthur, the son of a father of Irish citizenship and a mother of U.S. citizenship, was rumored to have been born not in Vermont where all credible evidence established his birthplace, but in Canada. This unfounded rumor did not receive niuch traction, perhaps because the internet had not been as fully developed then as it is now.

In the past five years all manner of court action has sought to entice courts to enter into the process of determining the qualifications of two persons who were nominated for president in 2008, and one who has served; a process reserved in the U.S. Constitution to the congress, not the courts.

The vast majority of these cases however involved President Obama. The first wave occurred during the presidential campaign of 2008, and involved issues similar or identical to those raised in this case. Plaintiff Linda Jordan cannot be unaware of those cases. None were successful. Most were dismissed on standing grounds; a question not directly at issue in this case because plaintiff purports to bring this case under RCW 29A.68.011, subparts 1 and 3, which confers standing on any elector. But others, including Ankeny v. Governor of State of Indiana, 916 N .E.2d (2009) addressed the merits.

I began this explanation of my decision with some history of the birther movement, and I conclude with some more history. Even after the election of 2008, so-called birther lawsuits continued. A lawyer, self styled as the leader of the birther movement, filed a series of lawsuits on behalf of service members seeking to avoid deployment to war zones on the grounds that President Obama did not legitimately hold that office. Some federal courts eventually forbade him from filing any additional lawsuits.

One such case, Rhodes v. MacDonald, 2009 WL 2997605 (M.D. Ga. 2009), contained a passage that particularly resonated in light of the type of evidence plaintiff offers in this case. The federal district court wrote, in relevant part at paragraph 3:

[Plaintiff] has presented no credible evidence and has made no reliable factual allegations to support her unsubstantiated, conclusory allegations and conjecture that President Obama is ineligible to serve as President of the United States . . .. Then, implying that the President is either a wandering nomad or a prolific identity fraud crook, she alleges that the President “might have used as many as 149 addresses and 39 social security numbers prior to assuming the office of President.

Acknowledging the existence of a document that shows the President was born in Hawaii,  Plaintiff alleges that the document “cannot be verified as genuine, and should be presumed fraudulent.” .. . Finally, in a remarkable shifting of the traditional legal burden of proof, Plaintiff unashamedly alleges that Defendant has the burden to prove his “natural born” status.

Thus, Plaintiffs counsel, who champions herself as a defender of liberty and freedom, seeks to use the power of the judiciary to compel a citizen, albeit the President of the United States, to “prove his innocence” to “charges” that are based upon conjecture and speculation. Any middle school civics student would readily recognize the irony of abandoning fundamental principles upon which our Country was founded in order to purportedly “protect and preserve” those very principles.

In her Memorandum, plaintiff Jordan seems to anticipate that the Secretary of State would seek dismissal under CR 12(b)(6), and argues that she has presented substantial evidence that President Obama’s birth certificate is forged. She quotes the standard for substantial evidence. “Substantial evidence exists where there is a sufficient quantity of evidence in the record to persuade a fair-minded, rational person of the truth of the finding.”

She offers as evidence the musings of the infamous Arizona sheriff Joe Arpiao, supported by the report by a part-time computer programmer last employed in May 2007, who examined a copy of the pdf image of President Obama’s birth certificate and concluded that the original was forged.

She offers the affidavit of a private investigator who opines that President Obama is fraudulently using the social security number of another person who was born in 1890 and was issued the social security number in 1977. The investigator is not able to identify the person  and does not offer any insight as to why this hypothetical person waited until he or she was 87 years old before applying for and receiving a social security number. The rest of plaintiffs evidence is the standard fare of the blogosphere that has been floating around since 2008.

In light of this evidence, I close with an additional passage from Rhodes v McDonald, cited above. On the issue of evidence~ the court wrote at paragraph 4:

Although the Court has determined that the appropriate analysis here involves principles of abstention and not an examination of whether Plaintiffs complaint fails to state a claim under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)( 6), the Court does find the Rule 12(b)( 6) analysis helpful in confirming the Court’s conclusion that Plaintiffs claim has no merit. To state a claim upon which relief may be granted, Plaintiff must allege sufficient facts to state a claim to relief that is “plausible on its face.” For a complaint to be facially plausible, the Court must be able “to draw the reasonable inference that the defendant is liable for the misconduct alleged” based upon a review of the factual content pled by the Plaintiff. The factual allegations must be sufficient “to raise a right to relief above the speculative level.”

Plaintiffs complaint is not plausible on its face . . .. Unlike in Alice in Wonderland, simply saying something is so does not make it so. 

I do not usually devote so much time quoting the decisions of other courts in other cases. I do so here to make the point that just as all the so-called evidence offered by plaintiff has been in the blogosphere for years, in one form or another, so too has all the law rejecting plaintiff’s allegations. I can conceive of no reason why this lawsuit was brought, except to join the chorus of noise in that blogosphere. The case is dismissed.

Plaintiff Jordan, and the other Birthers who are filing this crap in the courts should be ashamed of themselves. But they won’t be.

Note 1. The Title and Captions. For ESL’s,  Canny McPhee is a word play based on film’s Nanny McPhee, who constantly is one step ahead of bratty little children. Which ties in with the image. Canny means, having or showing shrewdness and good judgment.

The Innuendo Song and Dance is from the song, Dirty Laundry by Don Henley:

We can do “The Innuendo”
We can dance and sing
When it’s said and done we haven’t told you a thing
We all know that Crap is King
Give us dirty laundry!

The idiom “hang out to dry” means:

1. to not support or help someone;

2. to defeat or punish someone;

3. to get someone into trouble, especially by making them take the blame for a bad situation.

Alabama Judge Tom Parker Has His Own Citizenship and Identity Problems!!!

Who Was The Cowboy, And Why Was "Phoenix, Arizona 1949" Tattooed On Her Spine???

Well this is a lot more to Judge Tom Parker of the Alabama Supreme Court than we initially suspected!!! First, he used to manage Elvis Presley and come to find out, he is really DUTCH, not American, and his real name is Andreas Cornelis (“Dries”) van Kuijk.  No wonder he is suspicious about birth certificates and names. Plus he is ex-military, a Colonel.  At least he wasn’t in the Navy like CDR Kerchner and Walter Fitzpatrick and Swabbie Sam Sewell. And he really had some citizenship issues to boot!!! Wiki has the whole story:

Parker was born Andreas Cornelis van Kuijk in Breda, the Netherlands, the seventh of eleven children. a boy, he worked as a barker at carnivals in his home town, learning many of the attributes that he would require in later life working in the entertainment industry.

At the age of 15 Parker moved to Rotterdam, gaining employment on the boats in the port town. At age 17 he first displayed signs of wanting to run away to America to “make his fortune,” and a year later, with enough money to sustain him for a short period, he entered America illegally by jumping ship from his employer’s vessel. During his first visit there, he traveled with a Chautauqua educative tent show, before returning briefly to the Netherlands.

Alanna Nash would later write in The Colonel, her biography of him, that there were questions about a murder in Breda in which Van Kuijk, as he was then still known, might have been a suspect or a person of interest at least. This might have motivated Parker to avoid seeking a passport, as the Netherlands has an active extradition treaty with the United States, and Parker might have wanted to avoid criminal arrest by Dutch authorities in that case.

Parker returned to America at age 20, finding work with carnivals due to his previous experience in the Netherlands.He enlisted in the United States Army, taking the name “Tom Parker” from the officer who interviewed him to disguise the fact he was an illegal immigrant.

Presley fans have speculated that the reason Presley only once performed abroad, which would probably have been a highly lucrative proposition, may have been that Parker was worried that he would not have been able to acquire a U.S. passport and might even have been deported upon filing his application. In addition, applying for the citizenship required for a US passport would probably have exposed his carefully concealed foreign birth, even though as a US Army veteran and spouse of an American citizen, he would have been eligible to apply for US citizenship.

I guess that he got all this worked out when he went to law school, but I think this gives us some valuable insight as to why he might be suspicious of the long form birth certificate.

Wo. Wo.

Note 1. The Image.  This is a photograph of Elvis Presley and Wilda Taylor, who played Little Egypt in the 1964 movie, Roustabout. Here is a youtube video of her dance scene:

The name “Little Egypt” is a popular one as Wiki notes:

Little Egypt was the stage name for three popular belly dancers. They had so many imitators, the name became synonymous with belly dancers generally.

Farida Mazar Spyropoulos, (c. 1871, date of death unknown), also performing under the stage name Fatima, appeared at the “Street in Cairo” exhibition on the Midway at the World’s Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago in 1893.

Ashea Wabe danced at the Seeley banquet in New York in 1896, enjoying a fleeting succès de scandale.

Fatima Djemille (died March 14 1921) appeared at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Egypt_%28dancer%29

And, Rhonda Fleming played a Little Egypt role in 1951:

Note 2. Lyrics to Little Egypt: Could the cowboy be Sheriff Joe??? He was born in 1932 which would have made him 17 in 1949, and old enough to be interested in dancers.

Little Egypt
(Words & music by Leiber – Stoller)

I went and bought myself a ticket and
I sat down in the very first row, wo wo.
They pulled the curtain but then when
They turned the spotlight way down low, wo wo,
Little Egypt came out strutting,
Wearing nothing but a button and a bow, wo wo,
Singing, “Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah”.

She had a ruby on her tummy and
A diamond big as Texas on her toe, wo wo.
She let her hair down and
She did the hoochie koochie real slow, wo wo,
When she did her special number on a zebra skin,
I thought she’d stop the show, wo wo,
Singing, “Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah!”.

She did a triple somersault and when she hit the ground,
She winked at the audience and then she turned around.
She had a picture of a cowboy tattooed on her spine,
Saying Phoenix, Arizona, nineteen forty-nine.

Yeah, but let me tell you people,
Little Egypt doesn’t dance there anymore, wo wo.
She’s too busy mopping and
A taking care of shopping at the store, wo wo.
Cause we got seven kids and
All day long they crawl around the floor, wo wo,
Singing, “Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah!”

Note 3. Disclaimer and Datclaimer. If anyone thinks that the above Internet Article is beyond the bounds of Absurdity, and that no one would believe it, not for a single second, just consider this. Didn’t millions of Birthers rely on an Obama name search by a private investigator, and then assume that every social security number that turned up under the Obama name belonged to President Obama??? Don’t you see the “39 social security numbers” charge constantly popping up in Birther lawsuits???  Is that any different than assuming that two separate Tom Parkers are the same???

The Cold Case Posse Rounds Up The Unusual Suspect!!!

Every Once In A While, The Posse Was Able To Rope In A Slow Old Buzzard

Well, you have to give credit where credit is due. To date, Sheriff Joe and The Cold Case Posse (CCP) has only managed to fool the easily gullible, which pretty much means the typical World Net Daily (WND) reader. But today it looks like they may have managed to lasso themselves an Alabama Supreme Court judge!

Here are a few excerpts from the WND Internet Article:

An Alabama State Supreme Court justice earlier this week agreed that findings suggesting Barack Obama presented a forged birth certificate to the nation “would raise serious questions about the [document's] authenticity” if presented as evidence in court.

Though the Alabama court denied a petition filed by Hugh McInnish seeking to require an original copy of Obama’s birth certificate before the sitting president would be allowed on the state’s ballot in November, Justice Tom Parker filed a special,unpublished concurrence in the case arguing that McInnish’s charges of “forgery” were legitimate cause for concern.

Parker writes, “Mclnnish has attached certain documentation to his mandamus petition, which, if presented to the appropriate forum as part of a proper evidentiary presentation, would raise serious questions about the authenticity of both the ‘short form’ and the ‘long form’ birth certificates of President Barack Hussein Obama that have been made public.”

The “certain documentation” Parker refers to is the findings of an investigation conducted by Maricopa County, Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Here is the link to the full story:

Dr. Conspiracy at Obama Conspiracy Theories has a good take on this, to wit:

Alabama Supreme Court Judge Goes Coo Coo For Cocoa Puffs

http://www.obamaconspiracy.org/2012/03/birther-judge/

I see this as one of the inherent dangers that arises when law enforcement agencies jump off into the political arena, and particularly when the lines are blurred between professional investigations and pecuniary interests. Remember, the lead investigator, Deputy Mark Zullo and Jerome “Jerry” Corsi had a book deal which predated the findings of the CCP by about six months.

The CCP’s official stamp of approval tends to fool people. Apparently Judge Parker bought into the legal  imprimatur of the Cold Case Posse. But then again, as reported by the Tuscaloosa News back in 2006:

New Justice Parker slower than colleagues

http://www.tuscaloosanews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?p=1&tc=pg&AID=/20060424/NEWS/604240329/1007/NEWS02&tc=ar

Maybe it is too early for me to call him names. I do not know yet is Judge Parker is a real live Birther or just somebody who got roped in by the appearance of a law enforcement investigation. He didn’t endorse the two citizen parents nonsense. Nor did he come down to any firm conclusions  about a forgery, only saying the CCP findings ” would raise serious questions about the [document's] authenticity”  if presented as evidence in court.

But still, he said these things as part of a special concurrence, and if anything, he should have at least been more careful in his choice of words.

Feet of Klay (And Idol Hands)

Unlike His Older Brother, Ozymandias, Young Larry's Story Had No Legs

We must be doomed to live in interesting times.  For LO,  a new lawyer has emerged from the Birther Pit, his head bloody, but unbowed.  His name is Larry Klayman and his coming out party is being held at the World Net Daily Playhouse.  His battle cry rings across the land, no doubt sending a thrill up the leg of Patriots everywhere:

The framers of our Constitution were very wise in one respect in particular. These Founding Fathers, themselves born overseas, understood that “foreign influences” could pervert the thinking and actions of the president of the United States. They therefore wrote into the Constitution the provision that he be a “natural born citizen,” that is, be born to two American parents. Before the election of Hussein Obama, few scholars focused on this requirement, as never before have we seen a president so influenced by his father’s foreign heritage. But with Obama, we now can understand more fully the logic and wisdom of the framers. “Our president” simply is not an “American” at heart, nor a natural born citizen, and his actions speak even louder than his Kenyan Muslim roots.

Given the prospect that Obama will win another four years to destroy the nation by continuing to try to mold it in a manner his anti-colonial, socialist and Muslim Kenyan father would have been proud of, it is incumbent on all of us to use every legal means to remove this scourge from our body politic. This means pursuing every “legal means” to have courts declare that Hussein Obama is not eligible to be president of the United States.

With God’s grace, perhaps the American people can find one judge who has he guts to do what needs to be done: order that Hussein Obama cannot be our president.

So, with this mission in mind, along with other patriots, I pledge my sacred honor to file as many lawsuits as are necessary, in as many states as seem prudent, to try to find this one judge who will help us save the nation and the world.

Stay tuned. Our legal crusade may be a long shot given the compromised state of the judiciary, but we have no choice. We must do all we can to avert a disastrous four more years of this un-American president!

http://www.wnd.com/2012/02/1-judge-who-can-save-america/

Klayman has been around for many years. Wiki says:

He is known as the founder and former Chairman of Judicial Watch, a public interest and non-profit law firm, which attained notoriety through the initiation of 18 civil lawsuits against the Clinton Administration, and later an unsuccessful lawsuit against Vice-President Dick Cheney in order to obtain information about the White House’s energy task force.

Unlike other websites, The Birther Think Tank is not concerned with some of his personal problems. Nobody is perfect. The relevant thing is, that he has entered the Birther Fray, on the side of ignorance and absurdity, and his chances are, as he said, a long shot.  Things are worse than he suspects for even if he finds his one judge,  a judge that will buy into the two citizen-parent foolishness, he still has to prevail on appeal. So that is 3 judges at least. Then when he loses, an en banc appeal, with let’s assume 9 judges.  Then to appeal that loss to SCOTUS, with 9 judges, who will not hear the appeal because the Birther stuff is nonsense. Let’s see. How many judges is that? 1 + 3 + 9 + 9 = 22 judges, more or less.  A tough row to hoe.

The term,  feet of clay, is from the Bible. Wiki says it is:

. . . a reference to the interpretation of the dream of Nebuchadnezzar,  King of  Babylon by the prophet Daniel which is recounted in the  Book of Daniel.

Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.

This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. (Daniel 2:31-33)

Of course, with feet made of clay and iron, the top-heavy Idol flops over and crashes. The term is often used to refer to a weakness or character flaw, especially in people of high station. But the problem here isn’t really the people. It’s with the Idol. It is Birtherism which has the feet of clay. I don’t want to say what the rest of it is made from, but it is organic, and it isn’t pleasant to step in.

I suspect Klayman has been brought on board to provide a more respectable veneer for the Birther cause. His mascara seldom runs, and with all due respect to Orly Taitz, his voice doesn’t sound like Natasha from the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons. But, just like a cheap Esteban guitar,  he won’t be able to stay in tune  for very long before The House of The Rising Sun starts to sound like an extended mix version of composer Charles Ives’ “Bronx Cheer.” (Found at 9:08 into the 5th Movement of his Second Symphony.)  Which I guess is kind of appropriate considering that Klayman promises he is gwine to run all night and gwine to run all day.

But his fate is already sealed. Klayman will fail no matter how hard he tries. No matter how many suits he files. No matter how much World Net Daily rouses the Birther Rabble. Like all the other Birther lawyers he will get his turn to play Captain of the Costa Concordia, waving to the adoring crowds on shore, as he founders on the Reefs of Reality. Then, like an old episode of the Twilight Zone, he will reprise that role into the foreseeable future.

In the end, all the Birther Lawyers will have the same number of victories – ZERO.

Note 1. The Image and Caption. Based on the poem, Ozymandias, by Percy Shelley.

OZYMANDIAS (by Percy Bysshe Shelley)

I MET a Traveler from an antique land,
Who said, “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read,
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
“My name is OZYMANDIAS, King of Kings.”
Look on my works ye Mighty, and despair!
No thing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that Colossal Wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

The Easter Egg, it’s just a flesh wound, is from Monty Python and The Holy Grail.

Note 2. Bronx Cheer. Urban Dictionary describes it as:

A sign of contempt, usually when you stick your tongue between your lips, and you blow though them, resulting in a loud, blubbering, and flatulent noise.

Here is a link to Charles Ive’s 2nd Symphony, 5th Movement.  You’ll hear where De Camptown Races reference comes from.

Note 3. Esteban Guitars:  Like with the Birthers, there seems to be some quality control issues and some organized puffery designed to cover up or excuse those problems. Like Klayman above preemptively blaming the judges for losses before he has even gotten into court.  The really hilarious Esteban reviews  disappeared from Harmony Central. My guess is that several readers died of laughter and the website was afraid of lawsuits.  Anyway, here are a few stray reviews I scrounged up:

I just received one of the Esteban signature models, and it absolutely put my guitar to shame. I mean, the inscrutable “wisdom of the East” workmanship, the testicle-busting resonant tone, the drop-dead (in the alley) finish, the freshly cut aged greenish wood, the classic Ginsu fret work, the infinitely variable pitch tuning. So, I sold my 1927 Martin 0-45 at my garage sale for $57 after getting the Estebsn. Who needed that POS Martin, anyway?

I returned this guitar after the frets fell off. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND EVERYTHING HOLY….. DO NOT BUY THIS GUITAR.

I cut my fingers on the frets. I had to spend Christmas morning in the emergency room getting stitches. The doctors looked at me like I was a complete lunatic, since I was covered in blood and paint from the fretboard, and screaming about how Esteban ruined my Christmas.

My daughter bought it. She played it for a couple weeks. Then one day I arrived home from work and there it was hanging from a tree limb minus strings. She got so ticked off that she decided to turn it into a bird house. So far after 6 weeks in the tree no birds have moved in, but there is bird crap all over it.

It’s no wonder the guy [Esteban]disguises himself.

CHEAP EL-CRAPPO FLAKEY PAINT PLYWOOD AND RUSTY JAGGED-ENDED FRETTED PIECE OF IMPORTED KINDLING.

For some reason when I play a G (fifth fret) on the D string while the guitar is hooked up to its amp, the string just starts vibrating out of control. It is really strange, and something I have never seen before.

I just received my Esteban guitar. He actually signed it. This thing is now worth a fortune. Besides the cardboard neck and the frets being made out of licorice this baby is great. Except it doesn’t stay in tune and the balsa wood is rotting but I’m extremely happy. (Because I just took a painkiller)

This guitar would make a nice home for a hamster. It could gnaw some holes in the side of it and probably enjoy living there.

There are also some good Esteban reviews out there at the link below,  but as this person noticed, it is  possible that some of them may be puffery. Like the Birther claim that these darn judges just can’t appreciate a good eligibility lawsuit when they see one.:

HOW TO SPOT PLANTED REVIEWS Many of the 4/5 star reviews claim to be from individuals that have been playing guitar for 30/40+ years. This is meant to give you an impression of expertise. If someone you knew had 30 to 40 years worth of experience in an area you knew little about wouldn’t you trust their opinion? Well, that’s exactly what they want you to do.

On a side note, I also need to mention, I spend a lot of time on several review sites and I find a surprisingly high concentration of users here claiming to have 30/40+ years of experience. Many of the 4/5 star reviews make sure to mention exactly how much you get when you buy the guitar. “You don’t just get a guitar. You get extra strings, hard case, picks, strap, allen key…” and of course there’s the “for only…” part. Regular people don’t talk or write like that, but marketers do.

Another thing you’re going to notice is that many 4/5 star reviews say something like “I can’t believe all the negative reviews” or “I can’t get over how many negative reviews I am seeing”. This is meant to acknowledge what you’ll see anyways (the bad reviews), but persuade you into thinking that the negative reviews are not valid based the particular reviewer’s overwhelmingly positive opinion. Regular people don’t have a natural preoccupation with negative product reviews, but marketers do.

Finally, you’re going to notice certain idiosyncratic tendencies in the language of the reviews. For one, there are several reviews from supposedly different people that all spell the word “guitar” as “quitar”. A Freudian slip? Look at your keyboard right now… As you can see the the “g” and “q” keys are nowhere near each other. This tells us that these “folks” don’t know how to spell the word. It wasn’t a simple wrong key press. So what are the odds that 4 happy people from different places, on the same site misspell the same word in the same awkward way? Not very high if you ask me. Be careful.
