Judge Land Fines Orly Taitz $20K, File Copy of Order with State Bar of CA

United States District Court (Georgia) ^ | 10/13/2009 | Judge Clay Land

[BuckeyeTexan]

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.

Let the record reflect that a birther cast the first stone on this thread, as usual, and that said birther is using standard trolling tactics to disrupt and redirect discussion on the thread.

[Genoa]

Negative.

[1rudeboy]

Do you think he will get an appointment from dear leader, or just a Larry Sinclair moment in the back of a limo?

I thought Taitz is a she? But with the way she is so effectively discrediting her movement, Obama should appoint her to an ambassadorship, at least.

[stockpirate]

Well we already know what corner you’re in. How’s DU going these days.

[Genoa]

Ooooooo!

[stockpirate]

was referring to the judge that met with Holder.

[thefactor]

so anyone who disagress with you is a pro-bama 'trooll'? (whatever that is.)

looks to me like he posted a thread and has yet to comment on it. or do you just not like his ping-list?

[Non-Sequitur]

That’s a lot of root canals.

[1rudeboy]

I know . . . anything to avoid admitting that Taitz is a clown.

[BuckeyeTexan]

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

[Non-Sequitur]

Isn’t this the same judge who met with the AG Holden before the hearings? At least that is the rumor.

And where would you Birthers be without your rumors?

[Genoa]

To produce a birth certificate to demonstrate his constitutional qualifications . . . not unlike any other job applicant or aspiring Little Leaguer. Yes, quite unreasonable and a waste of the court’s time.

[Freedom2specul8]

Ping, and #12..

[Non-Sequitur]

I don’t know if she can appeal.

So what's the rumor on whether she can appeal or not?

[BuckeyeTexan]

do you just not like his ping-list?

That's pretty much the scope of his issue.

[Genoa]

Why not set us straight, N-S?

[mlo]

She WAS going for 20K. :-)

[mlo]

"so buckeye is a pro-Obama trooll."

No, you're just a pro-Orly troll.

[stockpirate]

His list is every known pro-Obama troll we have run into on the treads.

[thefactor]

look, i’m no birther. however, i would like to see some school transcripts, papers, the LFBC, etc...
