When a lawyer files complaints and motions without a reasonable basis for believing that they are supported by existing law or a modification or extension of existing law, that lawyer abuses her privilege to practice law. When a lawyer uses the courts as a platform for a political agenda disconnected from any legitimate legal cause of action, that lawyer abuses her privilege to practice law. When a lawyer personally attacks opposing parties and disrespects the integrity of the judiciary, that lawyer abuses her privilege to practice law. When a lawyer recklessly accuses a judge of violating the Judicial Code of Conduct with no supporting evidence beyond her dissatisfaction with the judge’s rulings, that lawyer abuses her privilege to practice law. When a lawyer abuses her privilege to practice law, that lawyer ceases to advance her cause or the ends of justice.

Regrettably, the conduct of counsel Orly Taitz has crossed these lines, and Ms. Taitz must be sanctioned for her misconduct. After a full review of the sanctionable conduct, counsel’s conduct leading up to that conduct, and counsel’s response to the Court’s show cause order, the Court finds that a monetary penalty of $20,000.00 shall be imposed upon counsel Orly Taitz as punishment for her misconduct, as a deterrent to prevent future misconduct, and to protect the integrity of the Court. Payment shall be made to the United States, through the Middle District of Georgia Clerk’s Office, within thirty days of today’s Order. If counsel fails to pay the sanction due, the U.S. Attorney will be authorized to commence collection proceedings.

Except to make conservatives look like a bunch of backward, uninformed, uneducated whack jobs. She has to be stopped. This order is a good start. Kudos to Judge Land for making an attempt.
The Obama suckups now have their “Hate Truth” ping list. Maybe they could have their own freaking website!
"The Court found that Plaintiff had failed to satisfy any of the elements necessary for a federal court to interfere with a deployment order issued by the U.S. Army. The Court further found the action to be legally frivolous, meaning that no reasonable attorney could have expected that her legal claim would prevail under existing law or under a reasonable extension or modification of existing law. The claims were based solely on conjecture and speculation that the President may not have been born in the United States."
Just what all us supposed "trolls" have been saying all along. You don't go to court with speculation.
Maybe normal freepers should just let the Obama suckups have this one all to themselves. They can have their little feeding frenzy/circle jerk all by their lonesomes.
As a national leader in the so-called “birther movement,” Plaintiff’s counsel has attempted to use litigation to provide the “legal foundation” for her political agenda. She seeks to use the Court’s power to
compel discovery in her efforts to force the President to produce a “birth certificate” that is satisfactory to herself and her followers.
~ Judge Clay Land
It is most true that this Court will not take jurisdiction if it should not; but it is equally true that it must take jurisdiction if it should. The judiciary cannot, as the legislature may, avoid a measure
because it approaches the confines of the Constitution. We cannot pass it by because it is doubtful. With whatever doubts, with whatever difficulties, a case may be attended, we must decide it if it be
brought before us. We have no more right to decline the exercise of jurisdiction which is given than to usurp that which is not given. The one or the other would be treason to the Constitution. Questions may
occur which we would gladly avoid, but we cannot avoid them. All we can do is to exercise our best judgment and conscientiously to perform our duty. In doing this on the present occasion, we find this
tribunal invested with appellate jurisdiction in all cases arising under the Constitution and laws of the United States. We find no exception to this grant, and we cannot insert one.
Chief Justice John Marshall
The only basis of the criminal Judge Clay Land’s treasonous behavior is the COLB. Noone has any other evidence. TERRIK has determined this COLB HAS NO LEGAL VERACITY because it was stamped with “DATE FILED
BY REGISTRAR” instead of “DATE ACCEPTED BY STATE REGISTRAR”. I guess the people’s “RIGHT TO KNOW”, in Land’s mind, is a “POLITICAL AGENDA”. Who is paying him? Does he think we all just eat mushrooms in the
dark???
IF YOU HIDE SOMETHING, YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE.
Senator Charles Schumer (D) New York on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ6iLuyCAx0 says:
“WHEN YOU ARE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT EVERYTHING SHOULD BE PUBLIC INCLUDING YOUR FULL MEDICAL RECORDS. I BELIEVE IN A RIGHT TO PRIVACY, BUT WHEN YOU ARE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, WHICH IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT JOB,
THE NEED OF THE PUBLIC SUPERCEDES IT.”
Guess what we get? Big fat nothing. WHY ARE YOU defending someone like this??? Jesus Christ, the people have a RIGHT TO KNOW!

(Aside: if it wasn’t so colossally SHAMELESS, it would be ALMOST funny that barack obama co-sponsored the bill declaring John McCain a natural born citizen.)
obama’s whole history has been erased and rewritten.
When the question asked is so simple to resolve and you step in between it and the people and you try to bury it, there is only one conclusion to be drawn. JUDGE CLAY LAND - YOU ARE CORRUPT. You should be
tried for TREASON. Hopefully, you have given Orly Taitz the right to defend herself by obtaining the obama vital records.
Silly. Argue your points and let them stand on their own merits and stop worrying what other people say. It makes you look thin skinned.
Absolutely correct. The secretaries of state did not do their jobs. We need explicit laws passed in all 50 states requiring them to certify candidates to the voters’ satisfaction.
OK. Again, natural born citizen is an undefined phrase in the Constitution. The courts have yet to give it meaning. What meaning do you think they will give it, if they ever hear one of these cases? What meaning would you give it? The one that launches the country into a Constitutional crisis, or the one that doesn’t? Having never met the Justices maybe I shouldn’t speak about what they think, but I doubt any of them want to be mentioned in the same breath as Roger Taney.
No.
Not in the entertainment field.

[The State of Hawaii has officially certified that he was born there.]
Please elaborate. “Certified” that he was born there??

(Thanks. I think I’ll reply to you rather than the Obama troll.)
Well, well. I’m a bit surprised. I would have expected the White House to order Land to drop this business. The idea of fining Orly may give them satisfaction. No doubt she deserves it for questioning the Dear Leader. But it also opens this up for possible discovery, no?
The chief downside is that there are so very many corrupt, ideological judges in the system that she may never find a fair judge in the process of appeal. And she’ll be using her own money, while We the Taxpayers will be paying for Obama’s high-price lawyers.
(How’s that work? I don’t remember earlier political figures getting free lawyers like this when they were attacked by the Dems. They had to go out and fundraise.)
Anyway, I don’t know what the appeals courts will consider “relevant.” To simplify it as I understand it, from Land’s point of view, Orly is merely rude and needs to be slapped for her lack of respect. From her point of view, he is biased and refuses to consider the evidence.
It seems to me that that opens the legitimate question, namely, why shouldn’t Obama be required to respond with the normal evidence—i.e., the birth certificate?
“I want BHO gone from the White House as much as anybody”
Well, this is the best chance you’re going to get, because going specifically against his policies mean you have to wait until 2012; being a socialist isn’t illegal, being a Muslim isn’t illegal, but being an ineligible POTUS is.
Either get behind us, or stop disrupting these threads and the effort to stop the usurper. You can’t be both with us and against us. Choose.
Isn’t Land the judge in Georgia? I heard something about this, but not a lot of details. Plus, no one got a picture of Holder.
I’m still have hope that they will stop using the label “birther”, and start thinking about what could have prevented this mess in the first place. A little proactiveness is what got FR started in the first place. In those days, fr was extremely proactive, and less like what goes on in these vetting the president threads.
Sometimes I wonder if she is a WH plant. How can a supposed professional make so many mistakes? Has Orly ever successfully brought a case before the court?
“Either get behind us, or stop disrupting these threads and the effort to stop the usurper. You can’t be both with us and against us. Choose.”
Exactly. Lead, follow, or get out of the way . . . or admit, trolls, that you aren’t what your sock puppet is posing as.
You’re entitled to your opinion. We’ve ignored their pathetic antics long enough.
I don’t think I was disrupting anything. I think I made a reasoned and fair point. I’m not against you. I’m just pointing out that it is a waste of time and we all look foolish in the process. But by all means carry on if you wish.
