Judge Clay Land unleashes the Mounties U.S. Attorney on Orly Taitz:

Orly Taitz has failed to pay the $20,000.00 sanction ordered by the Court on October 13, 2009. Accordingly, the Clerk is ordered to enter final judgment in favor of the United States of America and against Orly Taitz in the principal amount of $20,000.00. The United States Attorney is authorized and directed to collect the judgment as provided by law.

IT IS SO ORDERED, this 13th day of November, 2009.

Orly said she had appealed, but it’s unclear whether her plea got misfiled in the recycling bin.

Orly Taitz, unparalleled in her noble effort to overthrow the democratically elected President of the United States, has decided to use the blood of murdered soldiers to spice up her presentation:

Recent terrorist incident at Fort Hood has given this question paramount importance. This order has advocated blind obedience by the members of the military. If someone were to have common sense, brains and strength of character to challenge allegiance of Nidal Malik Hasan in court, after he made numerous anti-American and antimilitary statements, maybe 12 young boys wouldn’t be 6 feet under today, maybe 12 mothers and 12 fathers wouldn’t had their hearts ripped out of their chests and torn apart.

Alas, this isn’t the case where Orly’s facing a $20,000 fine. Because we’d love to see that judge roll the numbers.

It’s not news when yet another Orly Taitz birther lawsuit is dismissed. But in shitcanning the latest entertaining travesty, U.S. District Court Judge David O. Carter of California notes some curious behavior on her part:

Taitz encouraged her supporters to contact this Court, both via letters and phone calls. It was improper and unethical for her as an attorney to encourage her supporters to attempt to influence this Court’s decision.

Before our California barristers rush to update their ethics complaints, however, stand by for the whopper:

Additionally, the Court has received several sworn affidavits that Taitz asked potential witnesses that she planned to call before this Court to perjure themselves. This Court is deeply concerned that Taitz may have suborned perjury through witnesses she intended to bring before this Court.

Can we get a whoa?

She’s not going down without a fight, not with a $20,000 fine hovering over her drilling operation. And her boldface-laden eight-page notice of appeal maintains her high standards of political entertainment:

Judge Land’s remarks amounted to nothing short of political lynching, which turned into feast and celebration by the media mob…

Aside from a general constitutional issue of members of the military being forced to violate their oath to uphold the Constitution, the undersigned has provided evidence that the members of the military are forced to violate their oath while following orders of Mr. Obama, as the Commander in Chief, who never provided any legal documents proving his eligibility for office as a Natural Born Citizen.

Damn, we forgot that Orly’s Birther case had an Oather angle. But if we were to propose a Grand Unified Theory of Birthers, Deathers, Tenthers and Oathers, we’d have to say the -er word that best describes their collective fear begins with an N.

Orly Taitz doubled down, as they say in politics. So Judge Clay Land took her bet — and doubled the fine:

After a full review of the sanctionable conduct, counsel’s conduct leading up to that conduct, and counsel’s response to the Court’s show cause order, the Court finds that a monetary penalty of $20,000.00 shall be imposed upon counsel Orly Taitz as punishment for her misconduct, as a deterrent to prevent future misconduct, and to protect the integrity of the Court.

Judge Land, who called Orly’s action “breathtaking in its arrogance” and said it “borders on delusional,” was also kind enough to provide more ammo for the ethics complaint with the California State Bar:

In addition to darkly observing that federal judge Clay Land is a penny-ante Microsoft and Comcast investor, Orly Taitz’s defense against his $10,000 contempt fine noted a suspicious meeting between him and Eric Holder — only the version of her filing we posted Saturday was missing the crucial evidence. TPM has the affidavit signed by Robert D. Douglas of Alma, Georgia, which we provide here in full, carefully preserving the spelling.

On the day of the hearing for Major Stephen Cook before Federal Judge Clay D. Land, Columbus, Ga., my wife, my wife’s sister, her husband and I had entered the little coffee shop directly across from the Court House while waiting for the doors to open to the public. I was sitting in the small seating area, set aside for their customers, while facing and looking directly at the entrance to the shop. All persons entering had to pass withing 8-10 feet from where I was sitting.

Soviet Puppet/Shrub Appointee Judge Clay Land spent seven pages today smacking down Orly Taitz again, after Wednesday’s 14-page whack didn’t get the message through. Let’s listen in!

Instead of seriously addressing the substance of the Court’s order, counsel repeats her political diatribe against the President…, accuses the undersigned of treason, and maintains that ‘the United States District Courts in the 11th Circuit are subject to political pressure, external control, and … subservience to the same illegitimate chain of command which Plaintiff has previously protested.'”

You’re out of order! The whole trial is out of order!
