Birther Queen Fined $20K for Misconduct
The queen bee of the Birther “movement” (no, not the shrieking harpy, although the name applies pretty well in this case too) has been hit with a $20,000 fine for her idiotic frivolous lawsuits.
In an order today, California attorney Orly Taitz has been sanctioned $20,000 by U.S. District Court Judge Clay Land — double the amount he said he was considering.
“While the Court derives no pleasure from its imposition of sanctions upon counsel Orly Taitz, it likewise has no reservations about the necessity of doing so,” Land states. “A clearer case could not exist; a weaker message would not suffice.”
Land gave Taitz two weeks from Sept. 18 to show cause why he should not sanction her for filing a motion for emergency stay in a lawsuit he called “frivolous.” On the deadline, Taitz filed a motion for an extension of time.
Taitz told Talking Points Muckraker today that she isn’t going to pay.
