U.S. District Judge David O. Carter just issued an order dismissing Laguna Niguel attorney Orly Taitz’s attempt to revive her lawsuit alleging that Barack Obama cannot be president because he was born in Kenya.

Carter dismissed her case in October without going to trial. Taitz then filed a motion with the Santa Ana-based judge to reconsider his decision. Carter said in his order this afternoon that there was no legal ground for reconsidering.

“Counsel (Taitz) largely repeats the same arguments made in her briefing and oral argument on the Motion to Dismiss, which is prohibited<” Carter wrote. “To the extent that she does present new argument, it is without merit and does not meet the standard for reconsideration.”

Another lawyer, Gary Kreep, has already filed an appeal Carter’s dismissal of the case, hoping an appellate court will take it up.
