It seems that Orly hasn’t taken this lying down.
She’s accusing the judge of treason.
I’m not sure how that tactic is supposed to serve anyone but her.
It’s TPM, so take with a grain of salt, but it’s not like it’d be unbelievable for her to have said this.
Well, that'll teach him. </sarcasm>
Perhaps this is grounds for appeal. On appeal it could be asserted that Judge Land failed to apply the law (the NBC provision of the Constitution) to the facts (fact of dual citizenship at birth).
Malfeasance yes, but treason? I don't think so. Close maybe.
Treason against the United States shall consist *only* in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort..
Constitution for the United States, Art. III, Section 3.
It hinges on the meaning of "their enemies", that is enemies of the United States. One could argue that someone unconstitutionally occupying the office of President is an enemy of the United states, especially if the person also turns out to be a foreign citizen, but since that remains unproved, the charge is at the very least premature.
THAT will get her disbarred, and possibly even jail time for contempt of court. As an Officer of the Court (which is what a lawyer is) there are certain things you are simply not allowed to say or do, it’s a right you give up when accepting the oath as an attorney, and disparging the court in this fashion violates that oath and the Rules of Professional Conduct
