Or maybe she’s a better real estate agent?
Either way, let’s hope she’s better at something else, because she’s sure proven to be a terrible lawyer.
Famed lawyer-dentist-real estate agent Orly Taitz is back in court and back in the news! Hooray!
Yes, the leader of the birther movement is at it again, trying to prove once and for all that Barry Obama is not American. Not surprisingly, the effort’s not going so well.
Take it away, Judge Clay Land of the U.S. District Court in the Middle District Of Georgia.
When a lawyer files complaints and motions without a reasonable basis for believing that they are supported by existing law or a modification or extension of existing law, that lawyer abuses her privilege to practice law.
When a lawyer uses the courts as a platform for a political agenda disconnected from any legitimate legal cause of action, that lawyer abuses her privilege to practice law. When a lawyer personally attacks opposing parties and disrespects the integrity of the judiciary, that lawyer abuses her privilege to practice law.
When a lawyer recklessly accuses a judge of violating the Judicial Code of Conduct with no supporting evidence beyond her dissatisfaction with the judge’s rulings, that lawyer abuses her privilege to practice law. When a lawyer abuses her privilege to practice law, that lawyer ceases to advance her cause or the ends of justice.
In other words, you’ve just been fined $20,000 for filing yet another frivolous lawsuit, Orly!
Not surprisingly, Ms. Taitz has already said she won’t pay the fine because it’s “a form of intimidation.”
I’ll go to the circuit court of appeals. I’ll take this as high as I have to go,” Taitz said.
