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.

This certainly complicates things.
On the (still unconfirmed but likely) news that Orly’s client has withdrawn from the case, see:

This was posted by an apparent troll, and may be viewed with suspicion, but it also may be true.
This complicates things. But it still seems to me that if the judge tries to fine Orly, that opens the door for her to appeal and keep the issue open. Although if the original party has decided not to go further, that may leave the issue “moot,” I’m afraid. Instead of an appeals court suggesting that Obama should cough up his birth certificate, they might at best just strike down the fine.
We’ll see.
OK, and see #2.
Is that regarding the original complaint? In other words O'Rly used her name without authorization? Or is this about the withdrawal?
Was Orly Taitz set up? Just wondering.
If the client doesn't want to appeal, Orly cannot appeal the decision dismissing the case. If she is sanctioned, she can appeal the sanction, but remember that she is being threatened with sanctions not for filing the original case, but only for filing the motion to reconsider. So the only issue on appeal would be whether the motion for reconsideration is sanctionable. Since she threw in gratuitous insults of Judge Land (including accusing him of treason!), I wouldn't bet on the sanctions order being reversed.
“Clay Land”? Gotta be an alias.
Set up by whom?
Land is a *RAT-APPOINTED* far left activist judge *SHILLING* for 0bambi. Who *CARES* what he thinks?
Too bad. This looked very promising just this morning. And now, this.
More like Land was appointed by George W. Bush.
he is a conservative Republican appointed by George W. Bush.
I think Bush appointed this judge.
The main character is a relatively unknown inexperienced, undocumented, illegal alien, who is a known Marxist/Socialist, an associate of extreme left radials with violent backgrounds, and a twenty year patron of an anti-US black power church. He is elected to the White House with the overt aid of a compliant media, blatant appeals to black and white racists for support, and unprecedented hundreds of millions in mysterious and questionable financial backing from unidentifiable foreign and domestic sources.
Once elected President, while the character openly works to destroy the USA economy, culture and Constitution, he is protected and supported by majorities in the US Senate, the House of Representatives, the Supreme Court, the local and appellate courts, the wealthiest people in the financial industry and 95% of the established media.
Efforts of the working class and middle class to expose and oppose the fraud and to prevent further destruction of the nation are met with disdain and active opposition of the government, the established power structure, the wealthy elitists and the ruling classes and the media. Critics of the usurper are ridiculed, labeled as racists and potential terrorists, and the recipients of thinly veiled government threats.
The book proposal would have been turned down as implausible, too far fetched, and needlessly provocative.

Land was appointed by George W. Bush.
But then you were informed of this two days ago.
Did you forget or do you truly believe that GWB was a democrat?
I may be incorrect, but I recall seeing on these threads that he was a Bush appointed Republican. Or do I have him confused with the California judge?
