'Birther' Orly Taitz might challenge Feinstein

Orly Taitz, a leading member in the fringe "birther" movement to discredit President Obama's citizenship, is considering a run against Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), according to the Sacramento Bee.

Recent polling shows Feinstein could be vulnerable, but it is unlikely Taitz would be the one to bring her down. Michael Reagan, son of former President Ronald Reagan, has also said he's considering a run.

Taitz, an Irvine dentist and Israeli emigre, is best known for pushing the roundly debunked theory that Obama is not a U.S. citizen and therefore ineligible to be president. She was crushed in a GOP primary for secretary of state last election.
