He has violated my client's civil rights by denying her a trial by jury

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?

First year law student? FDLMAO...Puhleeeze


A “Temporary Restraining Order” is ordinarily issued after an “ex parte appearance” (an appearance in court by one party without the other being present). The Temporary Restraining Order is an order of the court that states that a person is to refrain from particular acts and to stay away from particular places.

A Temporary Restraining Order becomes effective only once it has been served on the restrained person (so s/he has notice and can seek an opportunity to be heard). In addition to the Temporary Restraining Order, an “Order to Show Cause” hearing is scheduled so that both parties will have the opportunity to explain to the court the reasons why a more “permanent” restraining order should or should not be issued.

Temporary Restraining Orders usually can be issued the same day they are requested and remain in effect until the scheduled hearing on the Order to Show Cause. The Order to Show Cause hearing is typically scheduled to occur within 15 or 20 days.


Her case was not heard. Nor were the issues addressed. Nor was the Order to show cause scheduled. It was summarily dismissed. In violation of the states rules.

For a law student, you seem to forget those facts.
eh...would you like fries with that mistake?

I saw the video of her screwy interview where she launched into lengthy disjointed apologetics instead of answering questions, and then read an account of a judge getting fed up with what sounded like the same behavior in court. I think that if this was going anywhere someone w/ legal capability would be on board by now.

She still hasn't managed to get the pistol out of her holster and she is down to about three toes. The left is thoroughly enjoying this, and it suggests Coulter had good cause to recommend the birther issue just be dropped.
