To suggest that an Army officer, who has received a medical education at the expense of the government and then seeks to avoid deployment based upon speculation that the President is not a natural born citizen, is equivalent to a young child, who is forced to attend an inferior segregated school based solely on the color of her skin, demonstrates an appalling lack of knowledge of the history of this Country and the importance of the civil rights movement. Counsel’s attempt to align herself with Justice Marshall appears to be an act of desperation rather than one of admiration. For if counsel truly admired Justice Marshall’s achievements, she would not seek to cheapen them with such inapt comparisons.

U.S. District Judge Clay D. Land, referring to birther lawyer/dentist Orly Taitz and her ridiculous quest to prove that Barack Obama is not a U.S. citizen. Land has imposed a $20,000 fine on Taitz for her repeated, merit-less lawsuits.
In this particular passage, Land is admonishing the birther-in-chief for having the gall to compare herself to Thurgood Marshall when he argued the historic Brown v. Board of Education case.
