That is an erroneous statement.

It is not erroneous I quoted you by word.

No one has said she shouldn't defend herself.

You said it was "insane" and it doesn't make " not much sense" for her to defend herself.

But the time when it would have been prudent to defend herself from sanctions is when Judge Land gave her the opportunity to explain why she should not be sanctioned.

This is another opportunity to defend herself no matter what her chances are for success.

Even if you think you are right, there are ways to respond that as a thinking adult that can mitigate the situation.

Taitz appears to be doing just that. A few snippets of the Taitz Stay Application.


Orly Application for Stay SCOTUS


Orly Stay App SCOTUS pg 2


There are rules to Court. Every attorney who has ever practiced has had moments when they feel their case is not being properly appreciated. Boo hoo.


Well boo hoo right back... Taitz is not rolling over for Land just because a bunch of silly after-Birthers who love to deride her.

“It is not erroneous I quoted you by word.”

You quoted two phrases and then added a conclusion of your own. Our contention is not the straw man you set up—that it is silly for an attorney to defend themselves. Our contention is simply that Orly's briefs are so self-evidently silly they can't possibly accomplish the goal of overturning her sanctions or advancing her case in any way. All they can do at this point is cull cash from the gullible, which is why she's selling autographed copies of something that might as well be burned at the Court steps for all the good it will do her legally.

“You said it was “insane” and it doesn't make “ not much sense” for her to defend herself.”

Again, you meld what you wanted me to say with what I actually did. I said her brief was insane and didn't make much sense. That's not the same as saying some sane attorney couldn't write a brief that would defend their actions.

Of course, again, if she is just using this to cull cash from folks like you, there's a certain, not-particularly-admirable cunning to that.

“This is another opportunity to defend herself no matter what her chances are for success.”

And she's done a ludicrous job of it.

“Taitz appears to be doing just that. A few snippets of the Taitz Stay Application.”

Yes, threatening the Justices that they're felons if they don't give her what she wants is a masterstroke. It's a riff on her previous hit of accusing Land of treason. She's lucky she'll never get a nanosecond in front of the actual Supreme Court, or more sanctions would surely ensue.

“Well boo hoo right back... Taitz is not rolling over for Land just because a bunch of silly after-Birthers who love to deride her.”

It's not a football game. You echo her emotional response of taking every court action personally and seeking personal vindication. That's folly.

BecJul, huh?

Say whatever you want about my posting on this subject, but at least I'm not lugging around a Photobucket page full of it. And, as honored as I am to be item 3 of 120, I really don't think I'm worthy of the Top 10, let alone the Top 5 (just kidding). But I do kind of like the Tired Old Clown bit, even if it is a pretty obvious play.

Have a nice weekend. Really.
