Attorney Orly Taitz, a national figure in the “birther” movement and lawyer for an Army captain who sought to stop her deployment to Iraq on arguments that President Barack Obama can’t legitimately hold office, has filed a motion to withdraw as the captain’s lawyer.
Taitz, who represents Capt. Connie Rhodes, filed her latest motion Saturday. It cites two court documents as reasons for withdrawing from the case — a Sept. 18 order from U.S. District Court Judge Clay Land threatening $10,000 in sanctions against Taitz and a letter purportedly signed by Connie Rhodes, which asks for Taitz to be removed as her attorney.
“In order to defend herself, the undersigned counsel will have to contest and potentially appeal any sanctions order in her own name alone, separately from the plaintiff, by offering and divulging what would normally constitute inadmissible and privileged attorney-client communications,” Taitz states. “The undersigned attorney will also offer evidence and call witnesses whose testimony will be adverse to her (former) client’s most recently stated position in this case.”
It appears, however, that Taitz didn’t sign her motion. Court records filed Monday state that the motion must be filed again because Taitz didn’t sign it.
“It appears, however, that Taitz didn’t sign her motion. Court records filed Monday state that the motion must be filed again because Taitz didn’t sign it.”
Why do we have Mickey Mouse representing a very valid issue? Sheesh.
How many times has she done that?
She does that a lot.
So Orly is conceding her client wrote that letter. She just disappointed a bunch of birther conspiracy mongers.
She refiled the motion with signature (although she left off the Certificate of Service, and the original Certificate of Service did not include Rhodes).
sigh...
Is everyone sure she is not some kind of plant. How can she really be this incompetent?
Court records filed Monday state that the motion must be filed again because Taitz didn’t sign it.
Incompentency once again.........
Looks like the ACORN checks cleared over the weekend and their stooges are back at FR.
Orly needs to concentrate on the Judge Carter case and get someone to handle it and stay in the background. She also better NOT try to get Gary Kreep disqualified from the case.
The stooges are here defending Orly.
haven’t confirmed it, but she’s apparently doing this so she can divulge what Connie Rhodes said to her under “privileged client-attorney communications” in order to deflect any sanctions against her.
No signature??? Does she have a paralegal? She must have delegated the task of filing the motion, and the person who typed it up failed to get the signature? Someone on the inside wants her to fail? So many possibilities as to why details are being overlooked.
No. Samd Obot trools - different day.
Does she proof read anything? Use spell check perhaps.
Supposedly she has attorneys offering to help her or are helping her. It always seems to be somebody else fault with her.
Thank you

hat tip
Well, she can’t seem to leave this one case well enough alone.
If you talked to a lawyer and had a falling out with them, and they turned around and asked to divulge your conversations with them in a legal venue, would that seem kosher to you?
I think this motion will be the end of her career.
Wuh?
As for the birther movement itself, the issue of the legitimacy of Barack Obama's birth remains theoretically open. It is theoretically possible that his mother or grandmother filed an application falsely alleging a private birth at home in Honolulu which resulted in a Birth Certificate which purported a birth in Hawaii. This document in turn spawned a Certification of Live Birth and two newspaper announcements. All succeeding documents were automatically generated and all succeeding documents were as fraudulent as the initial application. All subsequent pronouncements by the officials of the state of Hawaii properly reflected that proper procedures were followed and correctly recited that the documents show a birth in Honolulu, Hawaii. Hence, garbage in, garbage out and all the garbage was turned out on automatic pilot. That, at any rate, it is the remaining scenario to show the Barack Obama is not a naturall born citizen of the United States.
On August 10 I posted as follows. Events have sadly borne out my assessment of Dr. Orly Taitz. I post it here for the benefit of those who might wish to reassess their reaction to that post in light of Dr. Tietz subsequent antics:
This scenario is theoretically possible but not likely. Far more likely is a simple explanation that Barack Obama received an ordinary birth certificate as is normally issued upon live birth in a Honolulu hospital. But that is only a likelihood. Therefore, I believe that we should maintain an open mind and a steadfast insistence that Obama produce the underlying documents which would settle the provenance of the Certificate of Live Birth.
Meanwhile, as a matter of our own survival is is time to say au revoir to Doctor Dr.Orly Taitz.
At least she's consistent.
A lot of hard work went into trying to establish that the Rhodes fax was fake.
It is code. Real conservatives posting here know what it means. Obots do not. It is like “hugh & series.” You must be new.
Leo and Terri K are making progress and Gary Kreep still has the case with Judge Carter unless Orly screws that up.
Authentic Birther gibberish is more likely.
She forgot to sign it? Ugh. She’s incompetent.
She does have a team helping her, I’ve read that in a previous article. The buck stops with her, and I’ve bit my tongue about my criticisms of her mistakes. Anyone with legal training (the team that’s helping her) would know to check for signatures etc.. The whole thing is weird.
Regardless, I want to know why obama is spending so much $$$...and what’s he got to hide.
I'm stuned. Just stuned.
Sure, MSNBC and the RINOS and FR trolls have sopken!
Meanwhile, Lawyers are lining up in droves to defend the US Constitution.../s
BORN IN THE USA?
49 of 50 states never saw certification of eligibility?
Researcher: Democrats dodge Constitution, even in primaries

There has to be a way for a lawyer to defend themselves against a charge of error by their client.
I presume this hearing would be in closed quarters, before the judge, who would also keep confidentiality.
In my opinion, a lot of hard work DIDN’T go into it — instead, it seemed people who had seen the results of previous hard work, tried to mimic the same result without really understanding what they were doing.
Thus apparently “debunking” a real document.
I say “apparently” because this article actually uses the words “purportedly signed”, which suggests the issue is not resolved.
She sure acts like a plant.
It would be nice if an actual competent lawyer would lead the charge on this.
We can’t fire her. We didn’t hire her. All I can do is wish her success at exposing the boy marxist.
Why has she tolerated this motley crew so hell bent on undermining her, if indeed it is. If it were earlier in the game she might be able to fire the lot and start fresh. But she has, sadly, now jumped too many sharks. “With friends like this who needs enemies.”
No we didn’t, but somebody competent could step in and actually do what she was carelessly messing around with.
She looks, sadly, like a plant now.
Buck stops with her. Figures. Russian/Chechens are often “know it alls” who are very stubborn. She has not practiced in a courtroom and seems to enjoy TV cameras and running around playing the victim.
Maybe Gary Kreep will do better in the Judge Carter case. Leo and TerriK are also making progress.
That’s like waiting for Republicans to lead the charge the charge. Your great grandkids will die of old age first.
Yeah, There’s a few plants around here as well. Some of them call themselves freepers.. LMAO
I’ve seen weird behavior from a nice Ukrainian lady too. Maybe echoes of the USSR’s authoritarian past.
She has got to work on preventing mistakes... and it wouldn’t hurt for her to hire a media consultant too. (a good one)
On line, and no training in actual court protocol, good grief. If all one wanted to do was write wills, that kind of “school” would make sense, but not for the kind of thing Orly is pursuing. But even that does not explain many of her repeated stupidities.
We better watch to make sure she does not tried to get Gary Kreep kicked off the case in front of Judge Carter.
I no longer trust her. Sad.
I don’t know anything about getting a law degree on line but I know that you don’t have to do mock trials or do an internship. You have to take the classes and pass the bar and be approved by your state.
I think we are beyond that now. She wants to run everything. She cannot delegate anything. People who try to help her throw up their hands and run away.
My money is on Leo and TerriK.
Hopefully Gary Kreep can do something with the Judge Carter case and hopefully she won’t screw that one up.
Being that Orley is one of the top attorneys on the entire planet, I am sure that her not signing this motion is part of some higher strategy that we cannot hope to ever understand. /sarcasm
Or she might just be a Rat hired sabotager who has brought more of the same on board ($10,000 court penalties are chump change to the likes of ACORN). Any fool using a legal document template in, say, Microsoft Word, sees it has a place to sign the attorney’s name!
If Kreep is not also a plant, though if he’s not I think we will see a cat fight.
