Army Capt. Connie Rhodes, who filed a complaint Sept. 4 in U.S. District Court that sought to stop her deployment to Iraq by arguing that President Barack Obama can’t legitimately hold office, says in a Friday letter that she never authorized her attorney to appeal a Wednesday ruling against her.

Additionally, Judge Clay Land – who denied Rhodes’ request and threatened sanctions against her lawyer, Orly Taitz, a national figure in the “birther” movement – states that Taitz has two weeks from Friday to explain why he shouldn’t impose a $10,000 penalty against the California lawyer.

Both Land’s order and Rhodes’ letter came on the heels of a Thursday request from the captain that Land reconsider his Wednesday order against her. In that order, Land called Rhodes’ Sept. 4 complaint “frivolous,” and says Taitz could face sanctions if she ever again filed in his court a similar frivolous action. In her Friday letter, Rhodes states that she never told Taitz to file for a reconsideration, and that she intends to formally complain about her attorney.

“I became aware on last night’s local news cast that a motion to stay my deployment had been entered on my behalf,” Rhodes’ Friday to Land states. “I did not authorize this motion to be filed.

“Furthermore, I do not wish for Ms. Taitz to file any future motions or represent me in any way in this court. It is my plan to file a complaint with the California State Bar due to her reprehensible and unprofessional actions,” Rhodes states.

Rhodes says she is currently deploying to Iraq, and that it’s evident her initial complaint was “full of political conjecture, which was not my interest. I had no intention of refusing orders nor will I. I simply wanted to verify the lawfulness of my orders.”

I wonder where the letter was typed? If you note in the letter the clerk at the court house told her what and where.
How did she type it, where did she type it, why is it not on the OfficeMax “In Machine” list of outgoing faxes. Also, I have used these fax machines before at OfficeMax. We always wait for a confirmation sheet, which means that she waited for it to have successfully been faxed/recieved. If this is genuine, it did not sit in the memory of the machine, and would only do so if it could not be recieved because the recieving machine was busy. Now it appears that the signatures are remarkably different. Note the last name large character... But, we will see.
