For what???

In many states, a lawyer can be disciplined by the bar for bringing the judiciary into disrepute, by making public and unsubstantiated accusations of wrongdoing against a judge. Lawyers have been penalized (though rarely disbarred) for saying less than Orly said. I did a quick check, and I don't see a similar provision in California's Rules of Professional Conduct, so Orly may be in the clear. (Judge Land can still sanction her or charge her with contempt of court, but I suspect he just wants her out of his court as quickly as possible.)
