By: Sarah Jones
Jan. 25th, 2013
While Orly Taitz is trying to get President Obama arrested in Connecticut, a California federal judge in Orange Countys Ronald Reagan Federal Courthouse ordered her to show cause for why the failed Senate candidate should not be sanctioned for lying to the court. The court thinks Taitz may have failed to report any pending ethical, disciplinary, or related matters.
Taitz wasnt quite up front about pending issues, claiming that she only faced a minor discovery sanction. But it turns out that Taitz is being sued for allegedly making a series of false, defamatory statements about private individuals as well as for planting invasive spy software on the computers of visitors to her various websites.
So, U.S. District Court Judge Andrew J. Guilford ordered:
The Court therefore now ORDERS Taitz to show cause in writing why she should not be sanctioned for lying to this Court. Taitz, and any other party, may file by February 4, 2013, papers on this order to show cause not exceeding 10 pages each in total. Particularly helpful would be documentary proof of the nature of and reasons for the subject sanction previously ordered against Taitz.
Taitz has to respond by February 4th and she must provide proof of her innocence. Guilford has a reputation for being stern and strict. He isnt taking Orlys crazy in stride as others have done and if she cant prove that she didnt lie, she may find herself in real trouble.

All Dr. Taitz needs is for the easily fooled to shell out a few of their Social Security dollars for her mission, and their dreams will come true! If only Orly isnt arrested in California first. Tick tock, birthers.

The order is not a demand that she show she didn't lie.
The order is for her to show cause:
why she should not be sanctioned for lying to this Court
The question is "Why shouldn't you be sanctioned for it?" not "Did you lie?"

(23,973 posts)It would seem that the court has already decided that Oily taint was lying, the court now wants her to give a valid reason as to why she should not be sanctioned.
The fact that she was lying has already been established.
She would have to show proof that what the court already discovered is not true.
Fat chance that's going to happen.

(31,849 posts)The "Sow Cause" Order indicates that the Court has already concluded that she lied, by ommission or misrepresentation. Now it is telling her to tell why it should impose sanctions (something that I don't think she will be able to do).
After reading many of her previous filings, I think I can sum up her response in 5 words (I don't need the 10 pages the Court granted her):
I'm wondering if this is going to end with her losing her license to practice law in California?
