$10,000 Sanction Proposed Against “Birther” Lawyer (Rhodes to complain to CA Bar re. Orly Taitz?)
WRBL News, Columbus GA ^ | September 18, 2009 | Teresa Whitaker

Posted on 09/18/2009 4:11:24 PM PDT by unspun

Federal Judge Clay Land may have made good on his threat of sanctions against a lawyer for an army officer fighting deployment on the claim that President Barack Obama was not born in this country. In an order today Judge Land denied a motion for a Stay of Deployment for Captain Connie Rhodes, filed by Attorney Orly Taitz yesterday. The motion was filed after Judge Land threatened sanctions and dismissed the complaint calling it frivolous. Taitz has 14 days to show why a $10,000 penalty as a sanction should not be imposed against her. We tried reaching Taitz. She has not returned our calls.

In a bizarre twist, News 3 has received a copy of a letter to Judge Clay Land, written by the officer in this case, Captain Connie Rhodes. In it she writes she is shipping out to Iraq and asks the Judge to withdraw the Motion to Stay the Deployment. She denies authorizing Taitz to file on her behalf.

>> Captain Connie Rhodes . . . denies authorizing Taitz to file on her behalf. <<

Unbelievable! Every time I think this case can’t get any more bizarre, it gets more bizarre.

And yet she turned up in court on Monday...and said nothing about this

She signed an affidavit saying she would have been in court on Saturday but her superiors threatened her with a court martial..

Was she working for Barry all along ???

No, she admits she authorized the suit originally, but she says that, after the judge denied her motion on Wednesday, she told Orly that she was going to Iraq and she didn't authorize Orly to file her "emergency motion" to stay deployment and for reconsideration. It is that second motion that Judge Land is now threatening to sanction Orly for.

Capt Rhodes had to have signed something for Orly to proceed...

Asking Orly to represent her etc...the brief ...

Surely Orly has something with her signature ???

As for the Captain...

Fear of the system may have gotten to her...

re: Fear of the system may have gotten to her

I can't even begin to understand the gumption it must take to do what she has done so far, let alone to continue the fight under the circumstances.

At the risk of preaching to the choir I would point out that the simple fact Obama refuses to clear this up tells me there's something there that would have results that he would prefer to avoid. Who knows what, but there is obviously something there.

I am very depressed by all the people who think the whole thing is a witch hunt and should be dropped. It's like having your neighbor call the fire department when he sees smoke coming from your house and when the trucks arrive you tell them there's no fire, they can go back. All that smoke and no fire? Not very likely!

Not surprizing when you learn where Orly picked up her verbal style: the first video; and her legal reasoning: the second video.

Poor Orly, persecuted at every turn, most often by her own doings, it would seem.

There is more to discuss. This is for today.

Because of long-standing precedent that says that civilian courts have no jurisdiction to review militray orders.

In 2012 when Obama is out and Palin is the new POTUS, wouldn’t it be nice if Orly was the new Attorney General?

Because of long-standing precedent that says that civilian courts have no jurisdiction to review military orders.

And because, as the Court explained (page 5-6:
"Remarkably, in her motion for reconsideration, Plaintiff does not even attempt to distinguish the legal precedent cited by the Court in its order of dismissal. She simply repeats the same bare and conclusory allegations that the Court found frivolous in its previous order. A motion for reconsideration that does not even address the legal basis for the Court’s previous order is frivolous."

Only if you think the Attorney general should be professionally incompetent.

Well, hell, LL - "professional incompetence" defines 99% of the Obama administration. The other 1% is Evil Genius working against the Constitution.
