Orly Taitz asks Land to recuse himself

Attorney Orly Taitz, the “birther” lawyer under threat of sanctions by U.S. District Court Judge Clay Land for filing a “frivolous” lawsuit, filed a motion Friday asking the judge to recuse himself because of personal contacts and financial stakes he may have with President Barack Obama’s administration.

Land was appointed to the bench by President George W. Bush.

Taitz represented Army Capt. Connie Rhodes when she filed a Sept. 4 complaint arguing Rhodes shouldn’t be deployed to Iraq because Obama couldn’t legitimately hold office. Land not only ruled against Rhodes, but ordered Taitz to explain why he should not fine her $10,000 for filing a “frivolous” lawsuit.

On Friday, Taitz asked for an extension to respond to that order, but also asked that Land recuse himself from the case. In her motion for recusal, Taitz:

* States Land may have improperly been in contact with U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.

* States that Land’s ownership of stock in Microsoft and Comcast could give the judge a financial stake in the outcome.

* Likens her plight to that of the late civil rights icon Thurgood Marshall in the 1940s and ’50s.

“The primary reason for the undersigned counsel to file this motion to recuse, however, is that Judge Clay D. Land has by his own actions created a constitutionally intolerable situation in which he is both complaining party, prosecuting attorney, judge and jury regarding the charges of frivolous filing and sanctionable conduct which he has leveled ...” Taitz states.

“What, for example, was ever more political in 20th century Georgia than the question of school desegregation?” Taitz asks. “Surely this distinguished southern judge would have jailed Thurgood Marshall in the 1940s and ’50s for contempt when the future Supreme Court justice repeatedly filed cases demanding on constitutional as well as ...

“Have you ever read the article from a ex C.I.A. agent who hired a investigator in the article on Western Journalism’s web sight ( Clearing the smoke on Obama’s eligibility )?”

AC, I don’t know how to put your quote in italics, but how do I access this article on WJ web site ?

Thx, r55

If birthers cared about the Constitution and rule of law, well, they wouldn't be birthers.

The exact opposite is the truth, Birthers as you and Judge Land call them care about the Constitution and the rule of law. How you can pervert that is ludicrous. Hmm what does MLO stand for? Michelle Lying Obama? Me Lying Obama? Me Lunatic Obama?

[American Constitutionalist]

" If you truly respect the Constitution, you have to respect that. Now, come up with proof that Obama was not born in the United States "
How the " Proof " be submitted in court when most of the cases were thrown out because of lack of standing.
Obama has the DOJ and legal apparatus on his side putting up walls to block any hearings and to have his records looked at.
How can citizens , and Allen Keys, and others bring the proof to court when Obama's people and DOJ shut the doors of justice in the people face ?
I don't want to hear anything from anti-birthers or Obama's people saying " where the proof " when they shut the door's of justice in our face and tell us we have no standing.

[American Constitutionalist]

Yeah, they called Noah a “ NUT “ also.

[rolling_stone]

Nope. Morons is an accurate term for a lot of you.

So are after-birthers imbeciles, idiots or brain dead repeating the same garbage via reflex action?

There's plenty of us conservatives laughing at her as well.

[Non-Sequitur]

So are after-birthers imbeciles, idiots or brain dead repeating the same garbage via reflex action?

No, that would be Birthers' too. With y'all it's the same sh*t only different days.

So, you counting the hours till the hearing tomorrow?

[rolling_stone]

So, you counting the hours till the hearing tomorrow?

Nah the increase in after-birther troll chatter shows Obama is shaking in his sandals and so are his obots. I could be there for the hearing, but I can wait, a long trip for little, a trial of course would be great to watch.

Tomorrow is just another day in the Obama story, win lose or draw the battle will continue until a real just and lawful answer comes forth. All this controversy about what is and what isn't a NBC needs to be resolved for the good of the country and all possible future candidates.

“Either Roberts or Alito refused to grant certiorari (most people guess Roberts),..”

It takes, at a minimum, FOUR justices to grant certiorari, not one. IIRC, two Justices DID bring eligibiity cases to the Court, to decide on certiorari, but never garnered the requisite four votes to hear the caes.

Lately the 0bama supporters seem to outnumber the conservatives on some of these threads. I think they’re afraid. Blood is in the water.

Fergusson …”

Taitz also states that she suspects Land’s decisions may have been influenced by the government and questions whether his orders were guided by someone else or based only on what she called his “blind personal prejudice.” Either way, Taitz states, Land should recuse himself.

Taitz also objected to Land’s use of the word “birther” in his earlier rulings.

“Since the undersigned certainly did not invent or ever adopt the term ‘birther,’ awareness of this label is a pejorative appellation (often coupled with even more colorful epithets such as ‘bats–t crazy’), and since she does not go around introducing herself or her clients as part of a ‘movement’ in any sense, certainly not in court, it can only be concluded that Judge Clay D. Land has derived his information, and prejudice, and bias, against the undersigned by reference to material which is exclusively available from extrajudicial sources,” Taitz states.

Every member of the Supreme Court, every member of congress, every member of the Joint Chiefs, most members of the DOD, CIA, FBI, Secret Service and state run media, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS, NPR, MSNBC, Fox and print news, knows that Barack Hussein Obama does NOT meet Article II – Section I constitutional requirements for the office he holds. By his own biography, there is NO way he can pass the test. The hard evidence is so far beyond overwhelming, it is ridiculous.

(snip)
But not ONE member of America’s most powerful people will dare confront Obama and his anti-American cabal on the subject. The Constitution does NOT stand.

(snip)
Half of the people you expect to stop this insanity are quiet co-conspirators in the silent coup. The other half is paralyzed by fear, motivated only by political self-preservation.

(Snip)
Americans keep asking what they can do because they see that none of their leaders are doing anything to stop the demise of their beloved country. It’s the right question, because those leaders are NOT going to stop this thing.

(Snip)
WHO WILL SAVE FREEDOM?
A brave few… This is how it was in the beginning, how it has always been and how it will be.

(Snip)
DR. ORLY TAITZ, Phil Berg and Gary Kreep, ALL OF WHOM HAVE MADE DEFENDING THE CONSTITUTION AND THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE A PERSONAL AMBITION, IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY CONSTITUTION LEADERSHIP.

(Snip)
A PRECIOUS FEW, BUT THEY EXIST… and the walls are indeed closing in on Obama and his evil cabal. IF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FAIL TO GET BEHIND THESE BRAVE FEW WHO ARE SEEKING PEACEFUL REDRESS, ALL THE PEACEFUL OPTIONS WILL EVAPORATE AS IF THEY NEVER EXISTED. WE WILL RETURN TO A PRE-1776 AMERICA OVERNIGHT..

Do YOU fear Obama?

A precious few, indeed. Lets get behind those few brave patriots who are out there in the trenches every day working to prove Obama’s inelgibility:

Dr. Orly has put her life’s blood into this fight. SHE HAS MADE DEFENDING THE CONSTITUTION AND THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE A PERSONAL AMBITION, IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY CONSTITUTION LEADERSHIP FROM COWARDLY REPUBLICANS AND THE SCOTUS.

Dr. Orly is the ONLY one out there in the trenches EVERY day hitting Obama on multiple fronts and trying to bring him down. It is reported that she is more than $8,000 in debt from using her own funds for expenses in her flights across the U.S for interviews, speeches, serving papers and meeting with officials.

She has even gone to Isreal and Russia to spread the message about Obama’s inelgibility!

She states the case expertly, including the bc and natural born citizen aspect, when not abused by the U.S. state-controlled media. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/132880

Sure, Dr. Orly makes mistakes. We all do. But Dr. Orly is no dummy. How many of us could go to a foreign country, learn 5 languages, establish a successful dental practice, a successful real estate business AND pass the California state bar- one of the hardest in the U.S. to pass?
She may be a ‘mail order’ attorney and not a Harvard lawyer, but she IS an attorney with all the rights and privilages of a Harvard lawyer nevertheless!
The point is; she has the passion, the zeal, the courage of her convictions and the love of America and its freedoms (unlike many of our ‘great’ attorneys and ‘patriots’ who criticize her) that will not let her give up!
She is exhausted. She is nervous. She is frustrated. It is reported that she gets by on 4-5 hours of sleep per night, and her family is very worried about her health- as well as her safety.
She makes mistakes. But she will NOT give up. She will keep on until she gets it right.

So let’s get behind this great little Russian refugee and great American patriot.
Stop tearing her apart. The Obots don’t need our help.
The obots are scared to death of this little lady and her determination. That’s why they come out in droves all over the net on forums, chat rooms and even the national news to attack and ridicule.

HELP HER!

AC, GOT IT ! Thx so much ! r55

[duckln]

I agree with you 100%, please don't include me in "you folks'.

MLO is a sellout. There never was anything under seal with Republicans that didn't see the front pages. Only Democrats the likes of Kerry and Obama can get away with it.

[El Sordo]

Noah acted rationally with the information he had. His actions were seen as irrational by those who did not possess the same information.

Let’s say Taitz is correct in her claims. She’s arguably acting irrationally if her goal is to prove or otherwise gain legal support for these claims.

Orly Taitz’s antics would be rational if her goal is to make the ‘birthers’ look bad, but there doesn’t seem to be any other reason for her behavior other than that she is apparently irrational.

A special message to our troll FRiends: browardchad; curiosity; Drew68; mlo; Non-Sequitur; vikk and the countless others who lend a hand ...

You are nothing but a source of ignition — as well as a source of entertainment — to those who follow and support the Eligibility suits.

You actually BELIEVE you can ridicule people from supporting the attorneys & plaintiffs who challenge Obama’s eligibility as president under Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the US Constitution — because of falsified birth records and/or by virtue of his father's citizenship ... Bwahahaha!

Nothing could be further from the truth! In fact, you bring more attention with your little focused & organized defamation posting campaigns to refute the claims from so-called “crackpots” than we EVER could — where there's smoke there's fire!

May you hasten the discovery and publicity of the Truth about Obama’s past, while also hastening this quarter's FReepathon goal of $88,000.

You bring a whole new meaning to the phrase:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2353919/posts?q=1&;page=201

HOLY COW, TROLLS! You guys must be really, REALLY concerned on this one!

In the first 59 posts, your current count is:

Non-Sequitur - 7

Drew68 - 7

mlo - 3

browardchad - 3

You're more notorious than a bunch of poop-throwing monkeys, but MUCH more obvious — man, are you obvious, you filthy animals! THE LAST SENTENCE OF THIS POST IS FOR YOU!

About the only person more OBVIOUS is Judge Land with his slanted, biased, partisan and politicized motions and Orders.

Go tell your boss Holder, Russo, Hurd, Emanuel or whomever that we're coming for your bossman — and no amount of trolling, misdirection, or intimidation is going to stop us!

Absolutely!

Yours and mine.

History can be both a harsh and a fickle judge. Only time will tell how these events are going to be remembered.

Every event of human existence, great and small, had individuals who came down on opposing sides of issues. Some won, some lost.

I’ve often wondered what it was like for the losers on so many things. What did the individual Athenians who clamored for war with Sparta think to themselves when they sweated through another starving night as plague swept through them?

There’s a great book called ‘Forgotten Soldier” by Guy Sajer that tells the story of what it was like for a German solider on the Eastern front at the end of WWII. It’s a great book, I’d strongly recommend it for anyone who has also contemplated the question of what it’s like to come down on the wrong side of history.

Anyways. I’ve found the best things people can do are to try to be intellectually honest with ourselves and to not burn bridges over disagreements. Eventually this issue will be settled, one way or another, and we will need to pitch in together on other things.

Obama IS president. That's the status quo.

A short while ago ' Harriet Miers IS is the nominee for the SC. Get used to it.

Well my friend, we conservatives across the board howled until W reversed his original drunken decision. Sadly we no longer have the fire that we did then. But sometimes, one succeeds where others have failed.

Upshot is, Orly is in the ring and I'm on her side.
