Sometimes you can just see the future, not because of any kind of precognition, but because the path is clear and the people involved are completely inflexible in their positions. Now, you might think I am talking about some of our politicians, but in fact I am talking about the Queen of the Birthers, Orly Taitz. For those who are only marginally tuned into the train wreck, which is Ms. Taitz’ crusade to prove the President was not born in the United States, let me walk you through it a little.

Ms. Taitz is naturalized U.S. citizen. She was born in Moldova in the USSR. She is of Jewish ancestry and religion and immigrated to Israel in 1981. There she became a dentist. In 1992 she became a naturalized U.S. citizen.

Ms. Taitz went on to attend a mail order law school, Taft Law School. In addition to being a “distance learning” school, it is non-accredited. This means any one wanting to take the bar once they have finished their mail order courses (it’s really on the internet, but mail order gives you the feel of the quality) has to take what is called the “Baby Bar” or the First Year Law Students Examination and pass it before any state will give you a shot at the real Bar Exam. To give you a feel for how good a job Taft does, only one in three of their students who take the Baby Bar pass.

No one has accused Ms. Taitz of being less than studious. While it is unknown if she passed the Baby Bar the first time or not, she was able to pass it at some point and go on to pass the California Bar Exam. This makes her an attorney. She is well versed enough in the law for the State of California to admit her into their courts to argue before judges. Still, knowledge of the law does not guarantee you are reasonable or even sane in applying it. Like any other profession, there are brilliant attorneys and ones who are at the bottom of the pile. The determining factor is often the balance they bring to the practice of law. Ms. Taitz has a bit of a problem with balance.

We know this because of her crusade to prove President Obama was not born in the United States and therefore is not qualified to be president under the Constitution. Since the presidential campaign in 2008 Ms. Taitz has filed five separate motions or lawsuits alleging President Obama was born in Kenya. She brought a lawsuit on behalf of Allen Keyes against the CA Secretary of State alleging the Sec. State did not verify then Sen. Obama’s credentials to be president (this case is still pending, unbelievably). She sought an emergency injunction from the U.S. Supreme Court to prevent the certification of the California vote for President Obama, the High Court refused to hear it.

She brought a lawsuit for that moron Maj. Stefan Cook, arguing he could not be deployed to Afghanistan since the President was not the president and could not issue those orders. Unfortunately for her, the Major had to have asked for deployment and since it was a voluntary thing, the Army just rescinded his orders and the case collapsed.

In Barnett v Obama the case was dismissed by the Federal Judge because of concerns that Ms. Taitz “may have suborned perjury through witnesses she intended to bring before this court”. This was from an affidavit filed by one of her co-conspiracy theorists. This is a huge deal as the suborning of perjury is a disbarment offense. We will come back to this.

Also she has made a spectacle of herself in her fight with a Republican appointed District Judge, Clay Land. Judge Land dismissed a filing for a restraining order to prevent a Capt. Connie Rhodes from deploying on the premise the order was illegal since the President is not a legal president. Judge Land not only rejected the motion, he called it frivolous, noting that Capt. Rhodes made no objection to serving in the military under President Obama as long as it was in the United States.

He then went further, hammering Ms. Taitz for using U.S. soldiers as pawns for her quest to oust the President. He then finished up by expressing his dismay at Ms. Taitz’s lack of understanding of the U.S. legal system given her intent to try to make the president prove his innocence to charges which are based on conjecture and speculation.

This did not go down well with Ms. Taitz. She called the Judge a traitor for his dismissal, and even though she had been warned not to file frivolous motions in his court, Ms. Taitz filed another motion for a rehearing of the dismissal order. Now some of you who are not involved with the law might not know how big a deal it is to call judges names. Federal judges have lifetime appointments, once their butts hit that bench they are there until they die or find it too hard or in rare cases are convicted of a crime. Judges have enormous power in their courtrooms. If they decide to make your life as a litigator hard, there is very little you can do about it. They can do this forever if they choose.

Instead of this long term passive aggressive tactic, Judge Land issued an order to make Ms. Taitz show cause why she should not be fined $10,000 for her ignoring of his warning and her continued intemperate behavior in his court. To make matters worse, within a few hours of this order, a letter arrived from Capt. Rhodes saying that Ms. Taitz had filed the motion for rehearing without her knowledge or consent. She asked Ms. Taitz be removed as her lawyer of record.

Ms. Taitz does not know when to quit. She filed her show cause which called the show cause order “a quasi-criminal prosecution of the undersigned attorney, for the purpose of punishment.” Needless to say this is not the tone you want to take with a Judge who is threatening to fine you $10,000.

Judge Land issued a ruling fining Ms. Taitz $20,000 in which he continued to demolish her legal ability. Quoting form the order :

The Court finds that counsel’s conduct was willful and not merely negligent. It demonstrates bad faith on her part. As an attorney, she is deemed to have known better. She owed a duty to follow the rules and to respect the Court. Counsel’s pattern of conduct conclusively establishes that she did not mistakenly violate a provision of law. She knowingly violated Rule 11. Her response to the Court’s show cause order is breathtaking in its arrogance and borders on delusional. She expresses no contrition or regret regarding her misconduct. To the contrary, she continues her baseless attacks on the Court.

Ms. Taitz told Talking Points Memo she had no intention of paying the fine and would appeal all the way to the Supreme Court. Today the Judge ordered the Justice Department to start collection procedures to insure the payment of the fine.

That is the history, what we see coming down the tracks is pretty clear. Ms. Taitz with her mail order law degree is going to keep pushing her spurious and insane notion. Already we have seen she is willing to suborn perjury, willing to go beyond her clients’ wishes, willing to call judges who don’t agree with her traitors and enablers of dictators, and a complete unwillingness to comply with Court orders. Any one of these would land her in hot water with the Bar, combined they are just about begging for disbarment.

Which I think is Ms. Taitz’ ultimate desire. What better proof of the system being stacked against her heroic (to her) efforts to prove the President is not the president by failure to be born in the U.S. This allows her to keep going, to be a martyr to the Conservative cause. She does not need to practice law for a living; she has two dentist offices in CA. She will become a cause for the Far Out Right and get to write Wingnut welfare books about how she was shut down by the corrupt system.

This is what is coming down the tracks. However, there is a bit of problem for the Right making Ms. Taitz one of their many faces. She is batshit insane. This woman ignores the basic fact that the Obama family would have had to plan their son being in politics and running for the presidency from before his birth. Otherwise, there is no reason at all for them to have his birth announcement in the Hawaiian papers. He would have always been a citizen, regardless of where he was born, his mother being a U.S. citizen and married to his father at the time, the one and only thing he would not have been able to do was serve as president. The level of planning and confidence required for something like this is beyond belief to everyone but nut jobs like Ms. Taitz.

So in the coming months we will see Ms. Taitz disbarred. She will go on Fox and cry with Glenn Beck and bemoan how badly she was treated. She will be at Tea Party rallies and say crazy things which will enflame the base of the Republican Party, but will continue to drive the Independent voters away from that regional Party. This Birther thing will be this Administration’s Vince Foster. It will be an article of faith for the Far Out Right that it was a real cover up because Ms. Taitz was treated like any mail order law school lawyer and tossed out of the ranks of litigators for being an insane fool.

All I can say is pass the popcorn, it is going to be a long fun thing to watch.

The floor is yours.
