Warm Up The Bus

Ah. Much better.

@nojo: You know the way to the hearts of lawyers. Kudos.

[Wait a minute. You put stuff below the fold. Notwithstanding the fact that it was a totally well-judged use of the jump that I completely endorse on the merits, you’re cutting off a lawyer in mid-elaboration. You don’t do that. Also.]

I am a lawyer, and I want someone to take Rule 11 seriously.Dead serious, this time.

“limited to what suffices to deter repetition of the conduct”

This lady is a psychopath, really a cackling maniac. What would deter her outside of being dowsed with gasoline, set aflame and tossed out of a helicopter 1000 miles out at sea?

Does this mean there will not be a courtroom showdown between Taintz and Clinton? Because that might be just the dopeslap slaughter to warm my heartcockles.

@chicago bureau: Parentheses make me jumpy.

And besides, most folks who need to read this will arrive directly here, not from the homepage. So we’re good.

@Jebediah: Never a chance. But we may get to see SFL and DodgerBlue filing this Rule 11 complaint and take turns taking long, luxurious craps on Taitz’s demented face.

nojo: No worries.

Incidentally, a review of her motion shows that this nitwit does not actually seek to depose Hillary, but to have her show up and produce documents (for which purpose she could send an understudy who has custody of such documents). Post has been revised accordingly.

But still — BAD LAWYER! BAD!

FlyingChainSaw: Like I said before — Rule 24 intervention does not permit SFL or Dodger to intervene here. They have to have a direct interest in the outcome. Being pissed off at this clown doesn’t count.

This, I’m afraid, is down to the AUSAs and the Judge setting themselves to the task of doing their jobs.

Ah, rules.

@chicago bureau: This is depressing. Can we fax in our comments here to the AUSAs and the judge, like an amicus brief or something, maybe give them ideas about deterrent penalties for Taitz?

FlyingChainSaw: I’m going to bet that the AUSAs and the Judge are knee-deep in phone calls from birthers. They are just about ready to throw their computers out the window at this point.

Not helpful. Likely to piss them off something terrible. Pass.

I figure that the best shot is a reputable California organization — perhaps the State Bar — could start a ruckus. Or maybe some retired U.S. Attorneys or judges or something. That’s the best shot for an outsider to make a play here.

@chicago bureau: But don’t I as an American Citizen have a direct interest in the outcome?

Or how about we all intervene on Orly’s behalf? Clearly she needs help.

@FlyingChainSaw:

A dream too sweet to be realized…
So I will take a Rule 11 complaint and be happy. Is this rule a big enough thing to lead to disbarment? How badly must one behave to get thrown out of the law-talkin’ guild?

@FlyingChainSaw:
jesus H, CB !!!! you know legalize makes me break out in a rash! i’m in recovery!

SAW, your dobbs piece made me laugh all fucking day. this was very bad timing. it’s percocet stockpile week and it didn’t help feigning severe pain when i kept bursting out laughing in the docs face from you!

as you would say: ha haha hahahahahahahaha!!!!

@nojo: Injury to a taxpayer has to be imminent and concrete, and not merely a generalized concern that every citizen has. Does kind of take the punch out of “petition the government for a redress of grievances,” doesn’t it? But that’s the rule.

But, intervening in re Orly? That’s a thought.

@chicago bureau: You can’t handle the truth!

Somebody had to say it.

@chicago bureau:
of course it’s a thought. it’s the only avenue.

now you and bloggie think about it, i’m going to walk the dog.

@FlyingChainSaw: Electro Convulsive Therapy, or tabasco on the clitoris.

Or maybe a sentence of penal servitude equivalent to the amount of time the court has wasted on this case, and costs…

What is the female equivalent of “Bubba” ?

@baked: Sorry about that. Did you explain to the doctors that you were chuckling at the news that Lou Dobbs crawled out of Streicher’s asshole? I am sure they’d understand.

@chicago bureau: Who’s the judge for this?

Speaking of frivolous lawsuits…

Trina Thompson, 27, of the Bronx, graduated from New York’s Monroe College in April with a bachelor of business administration degree in information technology.

On July 24, she filed suit against the college in Bronx Supreme Court, alleging that Monroe’s “Office of Career Advancement did not help me with a full-time job placement. I am also suing them because of the stress I have been going through.”

The worst part is, some schmuck will probably read this story and offer the brat a job because she’s “showing initiative” or some such.

@mellbell: Wow … if I could win a suit to get my law school tuition back.
