Attorney Orly Taitz, a national figure in the “birther” movement and lawyer for an Army captain who sought to stop her deployment to Iraq on arguments that President Barack Obama can’t legitimately hold office, has filed a motion to withdraw as the captain’s lawyer.
Taitz, who represents Capt. Connie Rhodes, filed her latest motion Saturday. It cites two court documents as reasons for withdrawing from the case — a Sept. 18 order from U.S. District Court Judge Clay Land threatening $10,000 in sanctions against Taitz and a letter purportedly signed by Connie Rhodes, which asks for Taitz to be removed as her attorney.
“In order to defend herself, the undersigned counsel will have to contest and potentially appeal any sanctions order in her own name alone, separately from the plaintiff, by offering and divulging what would normally constitute inadmissible and privileged attorney-client communications,” Taitz states. “The undersigned attorney will also offer evidence and call witnesses whose testimony will be adverse to her (former) client’s most recently stated position in this case.”
It appears, however, that Taitz didn’t sign her motion. Court records filed Monday state that the motion must be filed again because Taitz didn’t sign it.
If I were her, I’d go the super safe route and do everything on paper. This is not as if she is submitting the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Please. She might dig out one of my tooth fillings instead of the tartar.
With her displayed compentency that may well be what would happen. I don’t think I’d want to sit in her dental chair either.
What does it require?
Shhhh!
OK, you’re a troll. You didn’t need big red letters to convince me.
Okay, I’m properly chastised. Now what?
lol
Thanks!
Thank you for your post and your reasoned explanation regarding the filing.
LOL
How does one establish eligibilty as required by the constitution?
That dog hunts, maybe, once. I took more care with papers I turned in to my first grade teacher.
LoL even if letters were backwards..and birth certificates were required to attend school, plus proof of residency. (Smirk) it takes more to prove residency for entering the schhol system, apparently.
Orly is clearly an outclassed, outmatched amateur in way over her head, fighting against all odds in a near hopeless situation.
I completely admire her for that and support her 100%.
The substantial female hasn't yodeled yet.
The rest of all lawyers are cowards compared to Orly. She is the only one crazy enough to do what needs to be done, and she just might accomplish something significant.
Try being a little less obvious...
Because she didn't go to, what I would consider to be, a legitimate law school. If anything good comes of this, perhaps it will be that California will reconsider its decision to admit people to the bar that don't graduate from an ABA accredited law school.
She really is this incompetent. But for those who just have to see a conspiracy everywhere, I posted this a couple of weeks ago:
Ever notice that the attorneys in these Birther cases seem to be either (1) the victims of a mass conspiracy to thwart their righteous lawsuits, or (2) grossly incompetent? Now I certainly think the correct answer is # 2. But tell me, is there a possibility # 3? Can Orly be so utterly unfamilair with litigation, never mind the constitution, that she really thinks that, even if the Judge ordred Obama to produce a longform birth certificate, which he did not, that the case will have concluded, and Obama removed from office, within 30 days?
Could this be an "Operation Trust" situation. Never heard of the Operation Trust? When the Communists took over Russia, after WWI, they faced considerable internal resistance. Rather than immediately crush every opposition group, or emigre group, the Communists set up the Monarchist Union of Central Russia.
The MUCR became an umbrella group for anti-Communist activists, which allowed the Communists to monitor and control, and when they were strong enough to eliminate, their opponents. Vast sums of money were donated to MUCR, which meant donated to the very Communists the donors were trying to overthrow, and anti-Communist agents were methodically identified, and either killed or turned.
Could Obama's people be that devious? Maybe. Certainly the Birther attorneys are the Washington Generals of the legal profession. Is BO just lucky in that regards, or he making his own luck? Is it all a conspiracy?
I don't think it is a conspiracy. I think that if there was anything remotely approaching a case there, Free Republic's own Congressman Billy Bob would be litigating away. He is not, and neither is any other attorney 1/10 as good as a below average, semi-literate, felon filing lawsuits from some maximum security prison.
But if you just have to believe in a conspiracy, this one at least explains (1) why BO would rather keep this going, than release his longform birth certificate, and (2) why the attorneys "suing" him stumble from one fiasco to another.
The only thing the first grade teacher didn’t like was putting my name at the top where a title would go. And I only did that once, the first time :-)
