Excerpts:
"This evening Orly Taitz reported that after a virtually sleepless night, she and Deputy AG Jill Nagamine appeared in Honolulu District Court today in front of Judge Rhonda Nishimura, at which time Nagamine asked that Taitz be sanctioned for being a “vexatious plaintiff” making “frivolous” requests......................
Taitz is seeking to inspect the original birth certificate allegedly on file with the Hawaii Department of Health as part of her case against the Social Security Administration, Taitz v. Astrue, which claims that Obama is using a stolen social security number. Nagamine, who is defending Health Department Director Loretta Fuddy, has claimed that the record cannot be released due to “privacy” concerns..........................
Taitz will soon be posting on her website her response to Nagamine’s request. “She said it was frivolous for me to ask for the birth certificate, I should be sanctioned, and they should declare me a vexatious plaintiff so that any time I want to file a lawsuit in Hawaii, I would have to ask for special leave from the court,” Taitz said..................
A question had arisen about the subpoena from the Georgia court bearing the signature of Judge Michael Malihi as to whether or not it is valid in another state. “In each and every court, when you are in discovery, a judge will sign subpoenas, and you can use them. You subpoena whatever evidence and witnesses you need. If a witness doesn’t want to testify, then it falls to them to file a specific motion to quash. Everything was done properly; any attorney knows I have done it properly,” Taitz said.
“At the end, the judge did not say the subpoena was not valid or proper. She did not say I was ‘vexatious;’ or ‘frivolous;’ she did not say that I needed to be sanctioned. The judge never said any of that. She said, ‘First of all, Orly Taitz is right in that the case is still open; there was no final judgment. As long as the case is open, she’s entitled to file a motion.’”
“The judge stated that under Rules 45, 33 and 31, it provides for subpoenas but does not specifically state it is for ‘reciprocal subpoena enforcement,’ and that is why I’m denying your motion,’” Taitz related.
Taitz said she recalls seeing another statute which allows for the enforcement of an out-of-state subpoena. She will order the transcript from the hearing. She isn’t sure which documents the court has in its possession since several have been misplaced in regard to the case. “Pages have disappeared and documents have disappeared. I’m going to check what the judge has. I need to see if the judge is missing a page here or there which specifically quoted a statute that allows for enforcement of an out-of-state subpoena can be enforced. If it’s there and she missed it in one of the pleadings, I’m going to use that; if not, I can file something another motion stating that it was in my pleadings before. If that happens, at that time she will have no reason not to grant it.”........................
The Post & Email asked Atty. Taitz if she was able to raise enough funds through her foundation to pay for her trip and expenses, and she said she was. However, she has agreed to pay for transportation and hotel expenses for witnesses planning to appear in Atlanta, GA for her ballot challenge hearing on January 26 and that consequently, a tremendous amount in donations is needed.
Taitz stated that she is exhausted because she has been working seven days a week on various Obama eligibility cases. She stated that the pressure from the travel, preparation for hearings, and financial costs is “nearly unbearable.”
