Affidavit In Birther Suit Contains Extraordinary Claims Against Orly Taitz

Orly Taitz and Lucas Daniel Smith
An affidavit from conspiracy theorist Lucas Smith filed in a now-dismissed Birther lawsuit details charges that attorney Orly Taitz, among many other things, asked Smith to perjure himself. The federal judge in the case has said he was "deeply concerned" about the charges, along with similar claims from at least one other prospective witness.
Lucas Smith, a Birther activist whose past claims have been debunked by even Birther-friendly WorldNetDaily, claims Taitz wanted him to falsely say in court that an incident where he was almost hit by a car in Los Angeles amounted to an "attempt on my life" by operatives sent by President Obama.

Others have already noted this passage from a smack-down ruling against Orly Taitz in a California Birther suit last week. But it's worth highlighting that the judge in the case suggested Taitz may have suborned perjury.
Check out these sentences from the lengthy order by Judge David Carter of the U.S. District Court in the Central District of California:
