Are you trolling again? Odd the Judge did not sanction her. I guess he is too spineless.
September 17, 2009Capt. Connie Rhodes asks for Judge Clay Land to reconsider; attorney Orly Taitz involved
BY ALAN RIQUELMY - ariquelmy@ledger-enquirer.com
Army Capt. Connie Rhodes, who unsuccessfully petitioned a federal court to stop her deployment to Iraq by arguing President Barack Obama can’t legitimately hold the office, has asked U.S. District Court Judge Clay Land to reconsider his Wednesday ruling.
The emergency request for stay of deployment and request to amend the judgement was filed Thursday on behalf of Rhodes by attorney Orly Taitz — a national figure in the “birther” movement.
In her Sept. 4 complaint, Rhodes argued that some facts point to Obama not being naturalized or possibly an illegal immigrant. She said she couldn’t be lawfully compelled to obey a de facto president’s orders.
In a Wednesday order Taitz called “sarcastic” and “biting,” Land denied Rhodes’ request and told Taitz she would face sanctions if she ever again filed in his court a similar frivolous action.
“Plaintiff avers that there is increasing evidence that the United State District Courts in the 11th Circuit are subject to the same illegitimate chain of command which plaintiff has previously protested in this case...” Rhodes’ Thursday filing states.
Rhodes claims in her Thursday filing that Land denied her Fifth Amendment right to due process of law by not letting her file a response to the government’s motion to dismiss. Also, Rhodes had no meaningful access to the courts because Land’s ruling didn’t address any of her arguments, the request states.
In his ruling, Land said Rhodes had no credible evidence and made no reliable factual allegations that would support her unsubstantiated claims that Obama can’t serve as president. Instead, Rhodes used her complaint for political rhetoric and call Obama “an illegal usurper” and “unlawful pretender,” the judge writes.

I think if the decision were to be made on the grounds that BHO is innocent until proven guilty; that would have greater strength than what was done.
I can understand questioning the Kenyan Birth Certificate, as it has no chain of authority, no certifications proving it’s authenticity - that is reasonable. However, a .pdf of a short ‘certificate of live birth’ does not prove anything either.
However, I should think that the judge would subpeona BHO’s birth certificate, as that would clear the whole case up instantly. The long form, not the short and simple Cert. of Live Birth.
Let's get this straight. Her client's civil rights were violated by not giving her a jury trial? So Orly thinks it is her client on trial?
Taitz has no idea what she is talking about. She's a nutjob.
Damn balsy!!
Earth to Orly: you sued for an injunction. Cases seeking injunctions are, by definition, equitable, not legal, and therefore are tried to a judge, not to a jury. I learned that in the first year of law school. Didn't you?
Some months ago Orly supposedly had the attention of Chief Justice Roberts about the b/c matter. Anyone know what became of that??

Look, Drew, I lived through the Clarence Thomas hearings, the trial of the Weathermen in Chicago, the Iran-Contra hearings, the OJ Simpson trial — no way her brief comes even close to the insanity produced by “mainstream” public judges, lawyers and legislators in those procedures.
You, are the crazy one, amigo. Crazy to not want a full hearing for the facts.
“ordered Rhodes to pay the defendant’s court costs”
What costs? The attornies that represented POTUS Obama work for the taxpayers. These were NOT private attornies. Does a federal court charge federal attornies “court costs”?????
