Judge Land’s hard on Orly Taitz, Esq. It’ll cost her $20,000

U.S. District Court Judge Clay Land, in Columbus, has come down hard on birther attorney Orly Taitz, fining her $20,000 for willfully abusing her right to practice law. I suspect Taitz won’t have that right much longer.

“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.”

Understand, there's been a lot of information put out there by Birthers that is totally false. They repeat it over and over again until the unwary believe it must be true, they've heard it so many times. But it's no more true now than it ever was. So for the sake of factual accuracy, let me correct a few things.

"And the Hawaiian BC was not official. It was a Certification of Live Birth."

It is official. It is the current official Hawaiian birth certificate form. If you were born in Hawaii, and you request your birth certificate now, that is what you get. It is perfectly valid, and is good for any purpose for which a birth certificate is required.

"Anyone can get that."

No they can't. No more than anyone could get a birth certificate from your home state. If you get a Hawaiian birth certificate that says you were born in Hawaii, it's because you were. That certificate is prima facie legal proof of the fact.

"I could produce my long form BC in two minutes."

You could only because the jurisdiction which issues it, issued it in that form when you got it. Hawaii does not. The COLB is what you'd get.

On this subject, this is from her website today, it shows Orly responding to Judge Lands $20,000.00 fine

Judge Land’s sanction may entitle you discovery
Friday, October 16, 2009 5:02 AM

There was an eligibility case in which Judge James Robertson threatened to impose sanctions on attorney John D. Hemenway.

In this WND article:

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=93578

it says:

John D. Hemenway also had suggested that if there were to be sanctions, court rules would allow him to require the release of Obama’s birth information.

“If the court persists in pressing Rule 11 procedures against Hemenway, then Hemenway should be allowed all of the discovery pertinent to the procedures as court precedents have permitted in the past,” he wrote to the judge.

“The court has referred to a number of facts outsideof the record of this particular case and, therefore, the undersigned is particularly entitled to a hearing to get the truth of those matters into the record. This may require the court to authorize some discovery,” Hemenway said.

Orly , are there any technicalities that will entitle you to discovery, due to Judge Land ’s sanction?

Anyway, I will be sending you a check today. If you are fined, I and all other decent Americans are fined too.

God bless you!

Answer:

Dear Mr. Vasquez,

I will clearly appeal this mockery of justice. Judge Land was totally dishonest and misstated and misrepresented 99% of what was written in the pleadings and what transpired during the hearings. He broke and violated each and every rule in the book: his own local rules, clear precedents, rule of law and Constitution in order to appease this Kenyan dictator and his regime.

Will the Circuit Court of Appeals be less corrupt, remains to be seen. We have seen total dereliction of duties by so many in the Federal government, nothing will surprise me.

Normally I would be entitled to file a motion before the trial judge to Alter the Judgment, in this matter of sanctions, however I believe it might be futile to go to the same judge and it might be better to go directly to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals or Supreme Court.

Land has contradicted himself time and again. On one hand he is stating that punishment would require another judge to look at the record, however he refuses to recuse himself while imposing $20,000 sanctions without giving me sufficient time to respond, to request a hearing, to show that rule 11 sanctions are not only not warranted but constitute complete travesty of justice.

Rule 11 sanctions are applied when an attorney didn’t do sufficient inquiry, sufficient investigation prior to filing a case. Readers of this website know that nobody on this planet did as much inquiry as I did, prior to filing this case.

This is appalling. What is more appalling, is that Land is saying that he will give this $20,000 to some private charity that supposedly benefits the military. What does he think? Does he think that each and every member of US military is a complete idiot and cannot see through this thinly veiled attempt to appease the military. Land is de facto telling each and every member of US military: “I will take all your constitutional rights away from you. You have no right to question any unlawful order. You have to act as a dumb robot obeying each and every order coming from this Kenyan dictator, however I will throw you a bone, I will take $20,000 from your attorney and will give it to some foundation. Take a bone and be a good and obedient doggy, be quiet.”

Thank you Mr. Vasquez for your support. I hope that this attempt to silence me backfires against this corrupt regime.

I hope people wake up and demonstrate and demand an immediate court hearing, immediate release of all of Obama’s records, demand to uphold their 1, 4, 5, 9 Amendment rights .

I hope more members of US military and civilians sign up as additional plaintiffs.

I am doing this pro bono. There is no set fee to join the legal action.

We need more people with standing: people who lost loved ones in Iraq and Afghanistan since January the 20th, people who were wounded after January the 20th, people who lost their car dealerships, people who lost their homes in foreclosure or paying mortgages while the banks are triple dipping by collecting mortgages, selling the notes and getting money in stimulus packages; while returning members of the military come home and have no jobs, no homes and no savings, while half a million Americans lose their jobs every month, while according to estimates we have more foreclosures then during the Great Depression, while all American jobs are shipped to China, India and Philippines, while most of our energy comes from the Middle East and we are just fed the slogans of Hope and Change.
