Birther wants judge for treason

Post by dragon »

Did see this posted yet, man some people. This is after the Judge dismissed the lawsuit of hers. Bolded the funny part.
In an interview with TPM just now, Birther evangelist Orly Taitz fired back at Clay Land, the U.S. district court judge who tore apart Birtherism and threatened Taitz with sanctions in an order today, saying that "somebody should consider trying [the judge] for treason and aiding and abetting this massive fraud known as Barack Hussein Obama."

"This is so outrageous what this judge did -- it goes in the face of law and order," said Taitz, reached at her office in Mission Viego, CA. "Not every judge is as corrupt as Judge Land. Some judges believe in the Constitution. And some judges believe in the rule of law."

The withering 14-page order by Land, a George W. Bush appointee, tossed out a "birther soldier" case brought by Taitz and Army Capt. Connie Rhodes, who wants to defy a deployment order because she believes Barack Obama does not legitimately possess the presidency.

A clearly frustrated Land called Taitz's suit -- the second filed in the Middle District of Georgia -- "frivolous" and threatened her with sanctions if she kept at it.

I asked Taitz what she will do next with the Rhodes case, which was filed and tossed out in another district before it was refiled with Land. "This is the decision of Connie," she said. "I will be talking to her and making a decision."

And if Rhodes is open to continuing the fight, would Taitz go along?

"Oh absolutely, absolutely," she said. "Listen, Nelson Mandela stayed in prison for years in order to get to the truth and justice."

And Taitz brushed off the possibility of sanctions. "I'm not afraid of sanctions. Because I know this is not frivolous. I know this is extremely important -- the most important issue in this country today."

"Judge Land is a typical puppet of the regime -- just like in the Soviet Union," she said.

Late 9/17/09 Update: A CA bar complaint has now been filed against Taitz for, among other things, her comments about Judge Land.

Yeah, there's a whole thread going on about this on SB.com, Judge Land's writings are scathing.
The first verdict, dated the 16th (14 page pdf)
The whole document just screams "You are a STUPID person, and your client's a deployment dodger.". It's well worth reading.

Of course, that didn't stop Orly, and she filed again:
Judge Clay Land v. Orly Taitz, Part II
And The seven page document detaling Judge Land's smackdown, including promise of 10,000 dollar fine

She's really pissing him off...

Some sentences from the judge's verdict may very well be applied directly to Bush - like:
Any middle school civic student would readily recognize the irony of abandoning fundamental principles upon which our country was founded in order to purportedly "protect and preserve" those very same principles.

People with no legal leg to stand on often compare themselves to Mandela or Ghandi the same way that people with no case to debate throw down Godwin's Law.

Connie Rhodes vs. Army wrote:First, Plaintiff's challenge to her deployment order is frivolous. She has presented no credible evidence and has made no factual allegations to support her unsubstantiated, conclusory allegations and conjecture that President Obama is ineligable to serve as President of the United States. Instead, she uses her Complaint as a platform for spouting political rhetoric, such as her claims that the President is an "illegal usurper, an unlawful pretender, [and] an unqualified imposter." She continues with bare, conclusory allegations that the President is "an alien, possibly even an unnaturalized or unadmitted illegal alien... without so much as lawful residency in the United States." Then, implying that the President is either a wandering nomad or a profilic identity fraud crook, she alleges that the President "might have used as many as 149 addresses and 39 social security numbers prior to assuming the office of President."

I guess Taitz herself will face charges for this.

That sounds like the moment it became clear that the court was going to rule against her on the grounds that she's rampantly stupid, she decided to cut her losses and not end up being a deserter. Somehow, I don't think things are going to end well for her, even if she stays a captain.

As for their allegations, how retarded do they have to be to believe this shit?

If she takes it to the Supreme Court will she say they're traitors too?

This woman signed off as "Capt. Connie Rhodes, MD". Is that as in a physician, or can those letters after someone's name mean something else? I guess it's true that education doesn't always make you smart.

No... it means she is a physician. All the more reason for me to hate premed students. They could end up like this cunt bag.

My understanding of the word "frivolous" in a judicial context is that it's more damning there than in civilian life. Instead of merely meaning "not important," it means "this is utterly without any kind of merit, you're an idiot, shut up and go away in that order."

That's gotta burn.

^It also means that you have to pay all costs of the proceedings and that you may or may not be open to sanctions if you keep it up. Which Taitz, being the bright bulb she is, did.

As thanas mentioned, being deemed frivolous is exactly the sort of thing that exposed Taitz to Section 11 sanctions, which are in existence specifically to punish things determined to be pointless wastes of the court's time- from the frivolous to the fraudulent, and everywhere in between.

yes, some times you have to destroy the village to save it. makes perfect sense from their mad cow point of view.

Hey, can we invite her down into the Ahwannee basement for some really good wine, and all the evidence she needs. I just need someone to get the bricks and mortar. (got an Edgar Allen Poe meme on my mind)

You read the book with the black cat too! YAH!

Will you chain her to the wall and wall her in or do I have the wrong story?

I read too much Poe as a kid...was that a bad thing? Am I destined to be a mass murder having read all the Poe stories I could find when I was young? Am I disproving the soccer mom BS about dark themes in movies ruining children?
