Laguna Niguel attorney Orly Taitz is challenging the latest dismissal of a lawsuit challenging the legitimacy of Barack Obama’s presidency, filing a metaphor-filled motion for reconsideration and asking for a special prosecutor to go after Obama.

Taitz, who is running for California secretary of state, alleges that Obama is not a natural-born citizen. She saw one her several suits thrown out April 14 by U.S. Chief Judge Royce C. Lamberth. But Monday and today she has filed motions asking Lambert to take a second look. She also compares herself to Susan B. Anthony, Golda Meir, Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan.

In his ruling, Lamberth wrote, “This is one of several such suits filed by Ms. Taitz in her quixotic attempt to prove that President Obama is not a natural born citizen as required by the Constitution.â€
