Taitz v McDonald – Orly invites people to file Friend of the Court briefs

Orly:

No answer from Justice Thomas yet. People can file Amicus Curiae briefs- friend of the court, in support of the application

Supreme Court Rule 37

Rule 37. Brief for an Amicus Curiae

* 1. An amicus curiae brief that brings to the attention of the Court relevant matter not already brought to its attention by the parties may be of considerable help to the Court. An amicus curiae brief that does not serve this purpose burdens the Court, and its filing is not favored.

Of course, this could be a two-edged sword :-) Poor Justice Thomas… He may soon find out what happens when he rejects the emergency stay…

  1. Saint James says :

    Since Orly seeks an emergency stay, I believe that she deserves an expedited response from the SCOTUS…which states…”PAY UP”

  2. Saint James says :

    Okey, if she doesn’t want to pay up, then the SCOTUS can say…”MOVE BACK TO MOLDAVIA…YOU PROVOCATEUR”!

  4. GeorgetownJD says :

    True, Northland, but it is not too late for her flying monkeys to begin harassing Justice Kennedy — to whom Orly intends to renew her doomed application for stay — with amateur amicus briefs.

    Of course, in Orly’s usual misconstruction of the rules, she fails to note that Supreme Court Rule 37.2(a) also requires anyone desiring to file an amicus brief to first obtain the written consent of all the parties to the appeal or, failing that, leave of court BEFORE submitting any brief.

  5. NBC says :

    Rules… Who cares about rules… Such a Soviet Style thing anyway… Perhaps Judge Land was right when he observed that this is a Court of law and that Orly was engaged in politics and grandstanding?
