Federal judge in Ga. sanctions 'birther' attorney

(AP) – 23 hours ago

COLUMBUS, Ga. — A federal judge in Georgia fined a leader of the movement challenging President Barack Obama's citizenship and warned her against using the legal system to pursue "political rhetoric and insults."

U.S. District Judge Clay D. Land's scathing 43-page order Tuesday said California lawyer and dentist Orly Taitz filed "frivolous" litigation and attempted to misuse the federal courts to push a political agenda.

Taitz, a leader of the so-called birther movement, sued in Georgia federal court on behalf of Army Capt. Connie Rhodes. Rhodes sought to avoid deployment to Iraq by claiming Obama wasn't born in the U.S. and that he was "an illegal usurper, unlawful pretender and unqualified impostor."

Documents show the president was born in Hawaii.

Land, appointed in 2001 by President George W. Bush, had already dismissed the lawsuit, but Taitz continued filing motions. He said he fined her $20,000 "as a deterrent to prevent future misconduct and to protect the integrity of the court."

"The absolute absence of any legitimate legal argument, combined with the political diatribe in her motions, demonstrates that Ms. Taitz's purpose is to advance a political agenda and not to pursue a legitimate legal cause of action," Land wrote.

He added that while Taitz's speech is protected by the First Amendment, "the federal courts are reserved for hearing genuine legal disputes, not as a platform for political rhetoric and insults."

Taitz told The Daily Report that Land's order is "an absolute outrage."

"All I can say is that this order is issued with a goal to intimidate me, harass me and retaliate against me for bringing a legitimate action on behalf of my client," she said.

As this Washington Post story explained, the woman, Orly Taitz, managed to royally tick off U.S. District Judge Clay D. Land, who issued a 43-page opinion, denouncing her efforts as frivolous litigation. The WaPo’s Liza Munday writes:

“Unlike in Alice in Wonderland, simply saying something is so does not make it so,” Land wrote scathingly in his order dismissing the action. Singling out Taitz for criticism, he accused her of using the legal system to further a political agenda.

Taitz, breathtakingly, reacted by accusing the judge of treason and comparing herself to Nelson Mandela. She fired off a response that suggested the judge was bowing to “political pressure” and “external control.” Land promptly issued another order requiring Taitz to tell him why he should not fine her $10,000 as a sanction for her misconduct. Today, a copy of that order lies on the floor of her car.

This week, Judge Land lowered the boom and $10,000 would have let her off easy. Instead, he doubled that amount “as a deterrent to prevent future misconduct and to protect the integrity of the court.” Taitz told the Fulton County Daily Report (no link available) that the order was an “absolute outrage.” Here’s the AP story.

I still believe that Mr. Barack Obama Hussein isn´t an north american born citizen, like a natural one and those allegations started during his rally debate avoid attempts**** just because someone blew a small wind breeze about his citizenship which includes Hawaii (alleged) but several medias reported that something wrong was going on, especially because those BORN WINDS came from Africa, where most of his family still lives in.
Many gossips and some facts come out and he was running off the subject like vampire escapes the sun. Some lawyers urgently filled up national security issues to perform a off the hook guard protecting all , I said ALL available records, papers and histories data from/whom/with their client, Mr. Barack Obama Hussein.

Since that, just like 9/11 high raise buildings collapses, no one even tried to investigate or deny the case, just blew with the wind, and let it go. And went so clearly off that he won over Mrs. Clinton Pinton Hillary( hilarious) campaign and then occupied the white house chair/desks/beds so on...

Now, just like here and there, and there too, someone who say or repeat those issues will be suit and condemned just like that... LOL..

Sorry for my politeness construction, too late here, tumati missing words 2.
