Judge Smacks Down 'Birther' Orly Taitz For Abusing Court
NPR ^ | 10/14/09 | Frank James

Posted on 10/14/2009 1:42:54 PM PDT by steve-b

Federal District Judge Clay D. Land has slapped top birther Orly Taitz with a $20,000 fine for wasting the court's time, among other issues, with her constant filings after he, last month, dismissed her lawsuit against President Obama's right as commander-in-chief to deploy the military because he allegedly isn't legally president.

Because he didn't get rid of her the first time, he's hoping she gets the message this time from the barbed language in the 43-page order he issued Tuesday.

Right off the bat, on page 1 he writes:

For justice to be administered efficiently and justly, lawyers must understand the conditions that goven their privilege to practice law. Lawyers who do not understand those conditions are at best woefully unprepared to practice the profession and at worst a menace to it...

...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....

Among Taitz's missteps, she accused the judge of treason. That never works out well....

So NPR talks smack now? Maybe they should interview Dan Rather. He used heroin once as a journalist to see what it was like.

“Among Taitz’s missteps, she accused the judge of treason. That never works out well....”

LOL.

Call me slow, but I’m beginning to think Orly’s a little coo coo. :`)

There will be hangers-on, though. Good grief, it’s not as if plenty of sane Freepers warned about something like this.

And this is the judge who was going to make it all happen.

I was expecting big news today since one month ago Orley announced that she would have Obama out of office in 30 days.

Okay, well she still has seven hours.

This type of attack in the justice system against those seen as enemies of the Democratic Party will spread and the fines will grow larger.

Bet on it.

I hope the birthers keep funding Orley so that I can get a good laugh at her antics each and every day.

Well if NPR says it’s true, we should believe every word right?

I’m guessing that Judge Land has been contacted by Obummer and his goons!
I’d would lay odds that Land was appointed under a Democrat Admin..anyone know for sure?

You’re right. I walked into that one with my eyes closed. It is Judge Carter, not Land, who supposedly holds the high card.

Sorry.

I’m with you on that. I think she did well against that hard-up fish wife Joy Baer.

I don’t doubt the story but I love the way some “conservatives” jump on them and repeat them word for word, including whatever speculation NPR may include.

The same kind of stupidity is why some believe Sarah Palin said she can see Russia from her porch.
