When a lawyer files complaints and motions without a reasonable basis for believing that they are supported by existing law or a modification or extension of existing law, that lawyer abuses her privilege to practice law. When a lawyer uses the courts as a platform for a political agenda disconnected from any legitimate legal cause of action, that lawyer abuses her privilege to practice law. When a lawyer personally attacks opposing parties and disrespects the integrity of the judiciary, that lawyer abuses her privilege to practice law. When a lawyer recklessly accuses a judge of violating the Judicial Code of Conduct with no supporting evidence beyond her dissatisfaction with the judges 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. After a full review of the sanctionable conduct, counsels conduct leading up to that conduct, and counsels response to the Courts show cause order, the Court finds that a monetary penalty of $20,000.00 shall be imposed upon counsel Orly Taitz as punishment for her misconduct, as a deterrent to prevent future misconduct, and to protect the integrity of the Court. Payment shall be made to the United States, through the Middle District of Georgia Clerks Office, within thirty days of todays Order. If counsel fails to pay the sanction due, the U.S. Attorney will be authorized to commence collection proceedings.

She IS the issue.
She's an incompetent nut and an embarrassment.
Obama could do worse than to hire her to put a clown's face on the whole issue.
Sadly, that attitude is causing JimRob and the mods much grief at the present time. FReepers should be able to disagree about the method of removing Obama without having to pick a side.
I am a lawyer, and nothing Judge Land has done or ordered opens the door for any discovery by Orly.
Wrong. You don't have to be a birther to oppose Obama. In fact, you're likely to be more effective if you aren't a birther.
9/11 Truthers who post here would likely say the same stuff about "disrupting" their threads, by contradicting their theories. Too damn bad. They post false arguments, they get people telling them so. Birthers are no different. That's not "disrupting" the thread unless one thinks the thread should only be pro-birther. Well there's absolutely no reason to have such an expectation.
I think now would be an especially appropriate time to donate to Orly (’Donate’ button at the top of http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/ )
Even if she manages to find a non-treasonous judge who hears her appeal, she still needs the money to keep fighting the fight.
Just donated $50 as we speak.
I’ve wondered the same thing.
My great grandfather immigrated from Italy, but because my grandfather was born before my great grandfather became a US citizen, under Italian law my grandfather is an Italian citizen, my mother is and Italian citizen and I am an Italian citizen. If I fill out a bunch of forms and gather a bunch of documentation, I can get an Italian passport. That doesn't mean I'm applying for Italian citizenship. Under their law, I AM an Italian citizen. So I was born here, my parents were born here, and my grandparents were all born here. Am I a Natural Born Citizen, or does Italy--a country no one in my lineage has lived in for 96 years--control my US citizenship status?
What a pantload from this judge.
Land is forwarding his decision to the California Bar.
Page 42:
"The Court further directs the Clerk of this Court to send a copy of this Order to the State Bar of California, 180 Howard Street, San Francisco, CA 94105, for whatever use it deems appropriate."
The alternative seems to be proclaiming you the arbiter of NBC status, and I find that just as unpalatable.
The freak website is here.
Comparing birthers to truthers is like comparing Paul Revere to Benedict Arnold
No. I’ve said all along I have no idea if he is an NBC. Just like I have no idea who his father is. The ENTIRE G”DAMN POINT is to find out.
Every single person on these threads should focus on fixing the problem, finding a solution and being proactive about the sec of states role. If the nay-sayers are still anti-proactive, still not seeking solutions, still attacking the people who want the prez vetted, then we will know them for what they truly are.
I challenge all of ‘them’ to take a stance.. And stop the infighting.
Uh, huh. You base that on your extensive study of law too.
This judge’s order should provide “standing” to Dr. Taitz for discovery.
A very expensive pantload at that. $20,000. That was double what he originally levied. Will she try for $40k I wonder?
and logic and judgment, which the judge seems to lack.
Might as well escalate it. The judge picked the fight.
