Federal Judge Clay Land may have made good on his threat of sanctions against a lawyer for an army officer fighting deployment on the claim that President Barack Obama was not born in this country. In an order today Judge Land denied a motion for a Stay of Deployment for Captain Connie Rhodes, filed by Attorney Orly Taitz yesterday. The motion was filed after Judge Land threatened sanctions and dismissed the complaint calling it frivolous. Taitz has 14 days to show why a $10,000 penalty as a sanction should not be imposed against her. We tried reaching Taitz. She has not returned our calls.
In a bizarre twist, News 3 has received a copy of a letter to Judge Clay Land, written by the officer in this case, Captain Connie Rhodes. In it she writes she is shipping out to Iraq and asks the Judge to withdraw the Motion to Stay the Deployment. She denies authorizing Taitz to file on her behalf.

Illegal Obama donors: Middle Eastern Arabs
Secret, Foreign Money Floods Into Obama Campaign
Monday, September 29, 2008
By: Kenneth R. Timmerman
More than half of the whopping $426.9 million Barack Obama has raised has come from small donors whose names the Obama campaign won't disclose.
And questions have arisen about millions more in foreign donations the Obama campaign has received that apparently have not been vetted as legitimate.
.
That would be the birthers.
Or is it because her suit has failed? After all when it comes to Obama's legitimacy what does she know now that she didn't know two weeks ago?
what she knows is that she cannot PROVE Obama is ineligible, and that, therefore, her whole question is considered by the manual of courts martial to be a “personal philosophy.”
LOL! Your argument is akin to someone going “nyah nyah nyah nyah nyaaah nyah”!
Surely you can do better.
You are confused. That’s the level you argue. I’ve posted detailed, sourced and rational arguments repeatedly. You just whine and call people trolls.
LOL! That’s all I can say. Keep posting pro-0bama drivel over and over after it’s been proved wrong over and over, and have fun!

They sure can’t practice law if they haven’t passed the bar.
Again, passing the bar, while time-consuming, isn’t the most difficult task devised by man. I’ve run into more than one lawyer whose IQ falls far short of what one might expect of a legal “scholar”. Take my ex-wife’s divorce lawyer, for starters. Some people who HAVE passed the bar can’t practice law either—at least not worth a damn.
During her residence in Israel, Taitz completed a dentistry degree at Hebrew University.
In 1987 she met her husband Yosef when he visited Israel. After he proposed, she emigrated to the United States where they married in Las Vegas. She later received her law degree from Taft Law School which "specializes in 'distance learning law programs to qualified students around the world and subsequently passed the California bar exam.
She obtained a real estate broker's license from the State of California that expired in February of 2008.
Taitz currently lives in Laguna Niguel, California,[11] and owns dental practices in nearby Mission Viejo and Rancho Santa Margarita.
A photo caption accompanying a 1990 Los Angeles Times article identified Taitz as a volunteer at the Share Our Selves dental clinic in Costa Mesa.
She has three sons, holds a second degree black belt in Taekwondo, and speaks five languages: English, Hebrew, Romanian, Russian, and Spanish.
Before her recent national news exposure, Taitz had previously been personally involved in lawsuits in Orange County civil court, including suing Tarbut V' Torah, the private school her son attended, for what she claimed was his "unfair expulsion". Most of the other cases involved "accusations of dental and medical malpractice" and breach of contract suits.
She was quoted in the Orange County Register in 2006 supporting Israeli military actions against Hamas and Hezbollah, and downplaying the impact of the espionage trial of two American Israel Public Affairs Committee staffers.
Taitz said that she lost relatives in the Holocaust, and that her grandmother witnessed the Kishinev Pogrom.2008—2009 legal/advocacy activities
Taitz alleges that Barack Obama was born in Kenya and that he falsified his Selective Service papers and his application to the Illinois bar.
Regarding Obama, Taitz has said: "I believe he is the most dangerous thing one can imagine, in that he represents radical communism and radical Islam:
He was born and raised in radical Islam, all of his associations are with radical Islam, and he was groomed in the environment of the dirty Chicago mafia.
Can there be anything scarier than that?"
(I think there's all kinds of things scarier than that. Like a wakened and enraged populace for example.)
Other Obama-related conspiracy theories Taitz has repeated include:
* A number of homosexuals from Obama's former church have died mysteriously.
* Obama has dozens of social security numbers, and his passport is inaccurate. Taitz claims that a person who was cooperating with the FBI in connection with Obama's passport died mysteriously, "shot in the head".
* A Kenyan birth certificate with the name "Barack Obama" is authentic.
* Obama's first act as president was to donate money to Hamas, which she claims will be used to build Qassam rockets.
* Obama or someone connected to him has made threats to Taitz's life, including vandalizing her car.
* Obama is having FEMA build internment camps for "Anti-Obama dissidents"
Wow.
Poor Orly, everyone's out to get her: her kid's school, her patients, her business partners. It's a good thing she has a law degree, and awesome legal skills, so that she can defend herself against those evildoers in court.
SAVE ORLY
I like Orly.
I just do.
She’s got cajones.
No it does mean one is qualified to practice law. It does not portend the quality of their law practice.
Obama on the other hand has not shown himself to be qualified to be President and the quality of his “Presidential Practice” so far is on the level of the worst in US history. Seems to me he should have to show he is “qualified” as a natural born citizen to be President. Notwithstanding the location of his birth the question remains who is a natural born citizen and we the people require an answer to that question. If we don't like the answer we can change it, but it is imperative we get an answer as this same question will be repeated, example Bobby Jindahl. Why that question isn't being paralleled is strange, but we know if he runs for VP or President the Dems will scream. We as a nation should have a clear concise definition of Natural Born Citizen to guide us in the present and future. The problem is not going away.
If I was Jindahl I would look for some way to get the issue decided before 2011, preferably now.
ALERT ALERT: Breaking technicality found.
The website http://www.therightsideoflife.com/?p=1703 has a document, with Barack Obama’s signature on it, that purports to be a “Presidential Preference Election Candidate Nomination Paper” required in Arizona by A.R.S. § 16-242. The significant thing about this is that it is completely invalid. The notarization of Obama’s signature was made by a Virginia notary and as such is subject to Va. Code 47.1-16 (effective July 1, 2007). The Virginia law requires that: “Every notarization shall include the date upon which the notarial act was performed, and the COUNTY or CITY IN WHICH it was performed.” Violation number two occurred when Ray Anderson, Notary failed to note when his own authority to notarize documents expired. The Virginia law requires that requires it with the word “shall” is stated here, “Upon every writing which is the subject of a notarial act, the notary shall, after his certificate, state the date of the expiration of his commission.” Obama may try to seek safe harbor from any criminal fraud allegation on account of “swearing that he is qualified to hold the office he sought” that such document was invalid and thus could not be used as evidence against him. This is just one piece of evidence applicable to the state of Arizona. Obama inc. may well have bungled the other 57 states requirements on candidate eligibility. In the worst case scenario for Obama, the invalid candidate attestation invalidates the amount of Arizona electoral college votes which in turn invalidates the 2008 Joint Session of Congress certifying electoral votes.
This is a very technical application of the rules but we should not apologize for applying the law when Obama never apologized for his own hardball tactics where he used the rule book to win his first race for Illinois state Senate against Alice Palmer. See http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/05/29/obamas.first.campaign/index.html . I also suggest that any discovery questions relating to this “notary issue” is fair game when standing is based upon 3 U.S.C. § 15. As has been said, possibly multiple provisions were not properly followed on January 8, 2009 when the votes for Obama were counted. And the district court therefore does have jurisdiction to review a failure of the Government to follow the laws enacted to protect the integrity of the electoral process.
Therefore, upon the Leo Donofrio, basis: since the DOJ raised the statute and relied upon it for the motion to dismiss, and since Judge Carter has allowed immediate discovery necessary for purposes of opposing the motion to dismiss, Orly should also demand discovery for any issue related to the invalidity of each individual state presidential eligibility documents. Apparently, the Arizona documents are invalid because they require a valid Notary endorsement, which Obama failed to provide.
(Note this argument fails if the Arizona document was merely cropped and the original actually contains the location of the notarial act and identifies the commission expiration date.)
