Judge Land Fines Orly Taitz $20K, File Copy of Order with State Bar of CA
United States District Court (Georgia) ^ | 10/13/2009 | Judge Clay Land

Posted on 10/13/2009 7:45:31 AM PDT by BuckeyeTexan

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 judge’s 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.

-snip-

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, counsel’s conduct leading up to that conduct, and counsel’s response to the Court’s 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 Clerk’s Office, within thirty days of today’s Order. If counsel fails to pay the sanction due, the U.S. Attorney will be authorized to commence collection proceedings.

Well, he's the POTUS de facto, so he'd be eminently qualified to have his ass impeached if the makeup of Congress critters changes in our favor over the next election cycle or two.

You notice that many trolls claim to be lawyers here defending Obama?

As a point of comparison, how many posters alleging that Obama is NOT a natural born citizen under the law are, themselves, lawyers? Or, to expand the category somewhat, have graduated from law school?

The 'two citizen parent'/'no dual citizenship at birth' definitions (which aren't synonymous, even though people tend to talk like they are) were practically created in summer 2008 to advance the theory that Obama was ineligible.

You qualified your statement by using the word "practically," but the two citizen parent definition of natural born citizen (granted - outside of the law) existed prior to the founding of the Constitution.

Since Gunner actually posted the video in question, it seems somewhat superfluous to ping him to a post citing his own work.

"I was going to say supporting and defending the constitution by oath of office, but nufsed beat me to it."

But that's not an answer. The constitution doesn't say he has to produce a birth certificate. It only says he has to be certain things. He can be those things, and still not produce a birth certificate.

So if you want to take someone into court for not following the law, that's not going to work. You have to be able to point to a law that says they must do a specific thing that they didn't do.

Come on, let's deal with this one concept without evasion. There's nothing wrong with acknowleding the reality.

"The law violated was that he did not show his qualifications."

Quote that law.

"The constitution requires the candidates to be qualified. THAT’S WHAT LAW."

Yes, but he can BE qualified and still not show documentation. So that's NOT the law.

"The sec of state of cal is required to qualify candidates for the state primary. She failed to do so. THAT’S WHAT LAW!"

In fact, as another freeper has shown, the CA Secretary of State is compelled to put the major party candidates on the ballot, with no discretion allowed. So that's not the law either.

For instance, Sarah Palin

No interesting is you injecting Sarah Palin into your defense of Obama.

Her comment adds even more credibility to Judge Land’s statements to the effect that she is interested only in a political agenda and not in the relief she purports to seek. If by some miracle she were granted discovery and Obama produced documentation proving beyond any reasonable doubt that he was born in Hawaii, she would dispute the evidence obtained during discovery as being fraudulent. She’s a freak show.

Then how do you prove he it those things and skip the BC? I probably wouldn’t skip anyway. He put out information (COLB) that doesn’t like anyone else’s and is inconsistent with our lives.

Okay, so he walks on water, then let the saviour do something special with a couple of fish and some bread.

There was just no reason to put out the COLB when he as two Birth Certificates in his possession.

You qualified your statement by using the word "practically," but the two citizen parent definition of natural born citizen (granted - outside of the law) existed prior to the founding of the Constitution.

Then it shouldn't be too hard to find usages of it. We have over 230 years of American jurisprudence to look at. So, if 'two citizen parents' or 'no dual citizenships at birth' or some combination of the two are the standard definition of NBC, then there should be no shortage whatsoever of usages of those definitions.

Those definitions should then crop up in textbooks and lawbooks and law review articles. They should have been applied to previous Presidential candidates who were the children of immigrants (often two immigrants), like Nader and Dukakis and Bill Richardson and Hubert Humphrey and Arlen Specter, and not just suddenly appearing out of the ether in 2008 to be used against a candidate born to an American mother. If you called up a Constitution Law professor at a law school, then they'd tell you "Why yes, that's a perfectly viable and accepted definition." It should be everywhere, not buried in the occasional 1800s legal dissent or obscure article.

Plus, considering that Obama's father's identity was never in dispute, and Obama didn't seal British citizenship laws from inspection, then you might imagine that a valid argument against his citizenship might have been advanced at some point during the first 16 months of his candidacy, rather than suddenly cropping up during the last 4. But it didn't.

None of that happened. In fact, the advancement of the theory didn't even happen during the earliest days of the allegations over Obama's eligibility; it was only once the holes in the 'born in Kenya' theory were apparent that some people began to adopt alternative theories for why he was *still* ineligible even though he was born in Hawaii.

Some warriors for truth, justice and the American
Way may be ‘wack jobs’ now and then. But every
warrior in this pursuit adds another brick on the
pathway to the answers and the truth.

Someday, please God, there will be one who finally
deduces the correct formulation of words, Constitutional
intent, plaintiff with valid standing, and pleadings that
unlocks the secret vault of lies, charades, deceptions, shadows,
obfuscations, myths, sealed records, and purposeful secrecy.

I pray for that day .. and for the everlasting integrity and
precious value of the Constitution and the preservation and
sovereignty of the blessed America we had before this ugly
chapter.

In the meantime, the more these issues resonate and
remain unanswered and a hot point for discussion, the
more pressure the citizenry will put on our secretaries
of state, state election boards, congresscritters and
electors to finally properly and officially vet and
thoroughly screen for Constitutional eligibility the
candidates who wish the privilege of being our
representatives in govt.

We the people must demand it and nothing less.

“I ... have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawaii State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen,” Health Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said in a brief statement Monday. “I have nothing further to add to this statement or my original statement issued in October 2008 over eight months ago.”

Two lies by the same person, does not, the truth make. Documentation on the other hand, is something else. I have seen, is subjective at best. Replace that with, I have released the original document would shore up the statement.
