[savalez]

Source: HuffPo

Birther queen Orly Taitz isn't backing down in her fight against being forced to pay a $20,000 fine slapped down by a federal judge last year for filing "frivolous" litigation aiming to challenge President Obama's citizenship.

~snip~

Taitz has filed a "motion for reconsideration" with the court, according to documents posted on her web site, claiming that she has new evidence that President Obama is not an American citizen.

1. Has the Daily Show ever covered this fool?

I might have to do a search of their videos.

[BootinUp]

4. answered my own question

This is on teabaggers, Orly gets a few seconds of scorn.

I would like to see a longer piece on the travails of Orly...it would be good for posterity...

[foxfeet]

2. I'm betting the "new evidence" is based on something she heard from her neighbor's dog.

[Pab Sungenis]

19. It's that Obama showed his passport on TV

and the White House released photos of it, meaning that they're showing off forged documents in Orlyland.

3. When will the SCOTUS have had enough?

And triple the fine?

[AlbertCat]

5. And triple the fine?

And send her back to wherever she came from for "abusing her citizenship".

[Xipe Totec]

8. The question is, why hasn't the California bar put an end to thuis embarrasment

They have made California lawyers the laughing stock of lawyers.

32. Lawyer discipline

The State Bar is the only bar association that operates a State Bar Court, equipped with judges who specialize in handling professional responsibility cases. Under the State Bar Act, upon receiving a complaint, the Bar may choose whether to open an investigation. If the Bar does find sufficient evidence of misconduct, decides that it has standing, and decides to take action to impose discipline, it has the power to proceed against accused attorneys either in the Supreme Court of California or in the State Bar Court. The State Bar holds that it may decline to review complaints that are not made by a Judge who heard a matter related to the complaint. Complaints of professional misconduct are usually first prosecuted in the Hearing Department of the State Bar Court. If the lawyer disagrees with an adverse decision, he or she may appeal to the Review Department of the State Bar Court, and from there to the state supreme court.

This is the magic paragraph:

"The State Bar holds that it may decline to review complaints that are not made by a Judge who heard a matter related to the complaint."

Has the federal judge who fined her filed a complaint?

[Catshrink]

34. I think he said he was forwarding his decision/sanction to the CA Bar.

[asjr]

6. This woman must have an unending supply

of money or some Republicans are footing the bill just to keep things stirred up.

[NYC Liberal]

29. Yeah: Teabaggers.

They're dumb enough to send this woman money.

[mike r]

7. Oily is now a 'political dissident attorney'??

Maybe she should go apply for asylum. In the asylum.

[6000eliot]

15. Isn't she also a dentist and a masseuse?

[Catshrink]

35. Black belt and real estate agent, IIRC

[HisTomness]

9. Please don't ever let her stop. n/t

[GodlessBiker]

22. Agreed. Keep it coming. She is a great standard-bearer for birthers.

[Tx4obama]

10. I read the 13 page 'motion' earlier on HuffPo - unbelievable

First of all I can't believe she didn't spell check her motion for errors - you just don't submit something that sloppy to the SCOTUS.
On the first page 'RECONSIFERATION' -- misspelled with a 'F' sticks out like a sore thumb!
And her inclusion of the WH's release of the 'Obama passport video' as evidence is laughable!

[Tx4obama]

13. I wonder if Taitz knows that the SCOTUS can impose even MORE sanctions upon her. n/t

[bluestateguy]

11. There are certain people who should not have access to the courts

There are certain people who should be banned for life from ever filing a lawsuit, no exceptions.

[ashling]

12. When will she appeal to the World Court ... or

the Israeli Knesset?

[Atticus]

14. An appropriate response by SCOTUS:

"Counsel, we've reconsidered and find that, indeed, the $20,000 fine imposed in the lower court was inappropriate. After further consideration, as you requested, we are increasing the fine to $50,000. Further, we're giving you the alternative of avoiding the fine entirely by surrendering your right to practice law in any court, state or federal, in the United States.

So say we all."

[FSogol]

17. Make it so!

;-)

[Webster Green]

16. She will end up behind bars if she persists in fucking with the judges.

What an idiot!

[Owl]

18. How long can this Taitz clown get away with making a mockery of the judicial system?

[jberryhill]

20. Forever

The California Bar has received numerous complaints about her multiple infractions of the rules of practices.

Calbar won't do a thing about it.

[AKing]

40. Would you rather her become a martyr? Let her stay a clown

[ozymandius]

21. Was she turned away when she tried to enlist at the zoo?

Just asking.

[Hawkeye-X]

23. Would someone please shut Orly up by doing the following:

1) Deny the appeal again
2) Sanction her $2 million, and place a lien on all of her and her husband´s holdings
3) Expedite her disbarment proceedings, as well as her revocation of her dental license and her real estate license
4) Revoke her citizenship, and have her deported her back to Moldova, permanently, since she produces nothing for the United States.

So mote it be.

[bergie321]

24. Next Up

She will take the appeal to the Supreme Court of her home planet.

[Donnachaidh]

25. this is one person who needs to have her citizenship stripped and be deported

What a waste of oxygen this one is. Send her back to wherever she came from originally. She's a hatemonger and a nuisance.

[ladywnch]

26. Deny the appeal. Double the fine. Demand payment by EOM. Jail her for nonpay. n/t

[Castleman]

27. Oddly enough, a Democrat strategist pointed out that....

If the Republicans had any brains they'd simply focus on the economic issues and that alone would keep Obama a one term president, but these...lunatic morons just keep alienating people to the point where re-election will just about be assured.
"He's a MUSLIM!!!" "He was born in Africa!" "He's not a Christian, he admitted to being Muslim!", and yet, when asked for actual proof of this nonsense, none of these pinheads can actually provide any.

28. Non compos mentis

[Unvanguard]

30. ROFLMAO. n/t

[msanthrope]

31. If the DNC isn't paying Orly, they should. n/t

[Rod85]

33. She's a lune but she's a paying lune

I don't agree with the Judge saying she needs to pay $20,000 because it was a 'frivolous' case.

If anyone has the money to pay for court fees and a lawyer, I think they are entitled to take anything to court.

It's creating jobs and giving the courts revenue. I don't think this judge realizes who or how Judges get paid or
how the courthouse lights stay on.

Every American should be able to access our courts, if they have money to throw away...who cares.

If I was the Judge I'd have let the case last 30 minutes and collected my $$$$ from her and sent her on her way.

[Catshrink]

36. Yes, she's a loon.

[gratuitous]

37. No

Once a case or cause of action has been decided, it's up to the court to clear its calendar of useless and frivolous stuff, and they do that in concert with attorneys, who are also officers of the court. Suppose you had a real cause of action based on a real tort or contract breach or something, but you couldn't schedule court time because every judge was occupied dealing with frivolous Orly Taitz motions. At some point, the court has to say "no" and have it stick. The sanctions provided by Rule 11 are rarely applied, but once someone has earned that sanction, they should be on the hook.

And yes, judges are very aware of how they get paid and how the courthouse lights stay on, and it isn't through indulging the pettifogging antics of dimwit attorneys who don't know the law.

[Dappleganger]

38. Oily has earned the right

to be kicked out of the country!

[IDemo]

39. What comes next, the Galactic Federation?? n/t
