Orly Taitz Sanctioned for $20,000
The Washington Independent ^ | 10/13/09 | David Weigel

Posted on 10/13/2009 10:27:03 AM PDT by jaxon72

The “Birther queen” has been slapped with a five-figure fine for “wasting the judicial resources” of the Middle District of Georgia, where she’d filed one of her numerous lawsuits demanding that President Obama prove his citizenship before deploying soldiers to Iraq and Afghanistan. The judgment, which calls Taitz’s case and tactics “delusional”:

"Counsel Orly Taitz is hereby ordered to pay $20,000.00 to the United States, through the Middle District of Georgia Clerk’s Office, within thirty days of the date of this Order as a sanction for her misconduct in violation of Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure."

The entire document, and some key excerpts, after the jump.

Judge Clay Land makes the toughest statement about Taitz’s antics here:

"The Court finds that counsel’s conduct was willful and not merely negligent. It demonstrates bad faith on her part. As an attorney, she is deemed to have known better. She owed a duty to follow the rules and to respect the Court. Counsel’s pattern of conduct conclusively establishes that she did not mistakenly violate a provision of law. She knowingly violated Rule 11. Her response to the Court’s show cause order is breathtaking in its arrogance and borders on delusional. She expresses no contrition or regret regarding her misconduct. To the contrary, she continues her baseless attacks on the Court."

you o-bots are really desperate, you just would rather her bend over and accept the fine instead of telling off the judge. If you need an elementary school level sourcing, here you go:

“Orly Taitz Responds To Judge’s $20k Fine: Shove It!”
TPM MuckRacker Writer Justin Elliott | October 13, 2009, 11:33AM Supposedly by a cell phone interview.
http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/10/birther_orly_taitz_responds_to_judges_20k_fine_sho.php?ref=mp

So what if it is stated in the title, it is an implied as a quote. As I said, take it up with Justin.. and go ahead, keep on rooting for her to bend over and accept it. I’m sure most here are rooting for the ‘shove it’ comment.

“You can probably photocopy Judge Land’s and change the styling and have a preview.”

We’ll see.
