Orly Taitz Sanctioned for $20,000

Source: Washington Independent

The “Birther queen” has been slapped with a five-figure fine for “wasting the judicial resources” of the Middle District of Georgia, where she’d filed one of her numerous lawsuits demanding that President Obama prove his citizenship before deploying soldiers to Iraq and Afghanistan. The judgment, which calls Taitz’s case and tactics “delusional”:

Counsel Orly Taitz is hereby ordered to pay $20,000.00 to the United States, through the Middle District of Georgia Clerk’s Office, within thirty days of the date of this Order as a sanction for her misconduct in violation of Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Judge Clay Land makes the toughest statement about Taitz’s antics here:

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.

Orly Taitz Responds To Judge's $20k Fine: Shove It!

Reached on her cell phone by TPMmuckraker and informed of the $20,000 fine imposed on her by a federal judge this morning, Birther attorney Orly Taitz responded, first, with laughter.

"So he didn't recuse himself?" Taitz asked, after letting out an extended, nervous-sounding chuckle.

Still defiant after months of legal wrangling and, by our count, three written denunciations by federal district court Judge Clay Land, Taitz said she had absolutely no plans to pay the $20,000 fine.

"Are you kidding? Of course not," she said, asked whether she planned to send a check. "This is a form of intimidation."

Guess disbarment is next.

And sing this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jphuzP819pQ

and a lifetime disbarment.

we have enough freeper idiots that are natural born, we really don't need to import more!

unless we could see a photo of two burly bailiffs literally pitching her out the courthouse doors to tumble down the stairs.

the legalese equivalent of doing just that!!!

of two burly police officers dragging her off to jail when she is arrested for failure to pay the imposed fine.

poor thang

Too funny.:applause:

:eyes:

to pay her fines and keep her in the style she's accustomed to.

The more she talks, the crazier the whole birther/teabagger universe looks.

I'm sure Alan Keyes will pay it for her!

an incompetent appeal filing to the next court up the line. She'll delay paying this as long as she can, sending out bogus filings, one after another, until someone finally finds her in contempt and puts her skanky ass in jail.

alot more than that.

and gave her a chance to show why it should not be imposed against her. I haven't read the article yet but I'm going to guess he doubled the initial fine because she commited more of the same violations in her latest response to the court.

(at page 8)

"... Or perhaps an eccentric citizen has become convinced that the President is an alien from Mars ..." (at page 27)

"... The Court further directs the Clerk of this Court to send a copy of this Order to the State Bar of California ..." (at page 42)

"Are you kidding? Of course not," she said, asked whether she planned to send a check. "This is a form of intimidation" ... "I'll go to the circuit court of appeals.

You were replying here just as I was updating the post. Sorry!

"anything you want to do i'm happy if you make it go right
and it's true if it makes you happy, o you know

...
(incredible string band)

can that be used to deport her?

(crossing fingers)

in a US jail until she pays up.

I have no sympathy for idiots who are hellbent on destruction.

Because the repugs C, B, L are smarter than her and wouldn't dare mess with the Justice system ... she really needs a shrink and inpatient care at a mental health hospital ...:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

controlled by lawyers at Fox? If they were free agents like OT would they act differently?

and the brakeman climbed out on the car top, for he knew what the whistle had cried ...

Orly's heading for the Horseshoe Curve

No amount of psychiatric help is going to solve this woman's problems.

she isn't taking this a little more seriously.
It's never a good idea to piss off a judge-they don't react well to it, and have many nasty ways to enforce their point of view.

mark

...doubtful that there is anything much that can get her deported UNLESS it is directly related to some sort of fraud by which she entered the US and/or became a citizen.

BTW: I know just about -0- about immigration law...and am just guessing.

"Perhaps an excentric citizen has become convinced that the President is an Alien fom Mars, and the court should order DNA testing to enforce the constitution (7).


(7) The court does not make this observation as a rhetorical device for emphasis; the court has actually received correspondence assailing its previous order in which the sender, who, incidentally, challenged the undersigned to a "round of fisticuffs on the courthouse square, asserted that the President is not human."

:rofl:


http://washingtonindependent.com/63558/orly-taitz-sanctioned-for-20000

He supposedly saw him in the coffee shop across the street from the courthouse. How did douglas know that it was AG Holder?




hahahaha.

1) Jail time for contempt of court when she doesn't pay
2) Disbarment by CA
3) Revocation of citizenship and deportation (a girl can hope, right?)

Send her back to the obscurity she so richly deserves.

She's too arrogant and too dumb to appreciate how much trouble she's already in. I don't buy the argument that she's mentally ill, anymore than any other wingnut is mentally ill--I think she's suffering from a bit of a Messiah complex, but aren't they all?

Calling the President a usurper and mocking his father as treacherous and disloyal to the British Crown added nothing to the advancement of Plaintiff’s legal cause ofaction. It provides good rhetoric to fuel the “birther agenda,” but it is unbecoming of a member of the bar and an officer of the Court.

it's a page-turner! Rarely have I been so entertained by a legal document :-)

It will be just about the time she is led away in handcuffs, extradited to Georgia, and incarcerated until the money arrives in Uncle Sam's coffers.

I will have to read the good Judge's order later :evilgrin:

I know real lawyers who had to take it twice. Do they require picture id from the person who shows up to take it?

She also apparently has a license to practice dentistry, although I wouldn't let her drill my molars if I were a werewolf with a toothache and no insurance.

(I forget which, but it's one of those two numbers.)

By correspondence school

concerned with teaching you how to pass the CA state bar.

It's a terrible educatonal loophole that CA should be highly motivated to close based on Orly's insane abuse of the system.

Just sayin'

She has not passed the ABA exam, not sure if she even took the ABA exam!

:shrug:

Thank you so much for sharing. Wheeeeeee!!!!!

:rofl:

But then, I'm just a poor person, not a lawyer. I'm pretty sure America has different rules for people with money.

She's got a mail-order law degree which is nothing more than a 3 year class on how to pass the California Bar.

thrown into a jail?

How long will it take for her law license in CA to be revoked?

How long before she's deported?

1. There is a valid court order;

2. Citee has actual knowledge of the order;

3. Citee has the ability to comply; and

4. Willful non-compliance by the citee.

All four elements are required.

the court forget the case. http://washingtonindependent.com/60122/orly-taitzs-client-files-a-complaint-against-her

Let's hope she keeps pressing her antics. Bigger fines, and maybe even jail time at some point.

If this Birther thing was proof that something was wrong, the rest of what she was doing is showing that she is a psychotic racist, a mental disorder that the Obama Presidency is really bringing to light.

But it's still a psychosis.

When she was younger just a bad little kid
Her momma noticed funny things she did
Like shootin' puppies with a BB gun
She'd poison guppies, and when she was done
She'd find a pussycat and bash in its head

That's when her momma said
(what did she say?)
She said my girl I think someday
You'll find a way
to make your natural tendencies pay

You'll be a birther!!
(You'll be a birther)
You have no talent and you're insane
Girl be a birther!!
(Girl be a birther)
People will shake all of their heads in shame
(heads in shame)

You're temprament's wrong for Rush Limbaugh
And FOX news will suit you still less
Girl be a birther
You'll be a big mess

(Here she is folks, the leader of the whacked)
(Watch her file that suit...Oh My God)
(She is so stupid, she will never ever be understood)
(Who needs a lawsuit by a clueless old broad)

--God it hurts--
--This chick's so dumb--
Ahh, shut up, and sit down, she's not done

She is a birther!!
(She is a birther)
And she enjoys the career that she picked
She is a birther!!
(She is a birther)
And she gets off on the pain she inflicts

She thrills when she files a bad lawsuit
It's swell though they tell her she's mad...no justice!!

And though it may cause Obama some stress
Somewhere, somewhere in heaven above her
She knows, she knows, that her Obama's a Kenyan
Oooooooobama

Cause she's a birther
And a big mess

Say ahhhhhhh
--ahhhhhhh--
Say ahhhhhhh
--ahhhhhhh--
Say AHHHHHHH
--AHHHHHHH--
NOW SPIT!!

:evilgrin:

That should be a hoot and a half.

Joy will disembowel her.

go, Orly!

There it is.

:rofl:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

;)

Orly and the Teabaggers had a simply marvelous summer at Camp Ain’t-I-Special, but summer camp is over and the adults are back in charge. Now she must settle down in the nursery or Nanny will spank her bottom and stand her in the corner for a time out.

You can tell that the judge has just about had it:

The Court dismissed the Cook action, finding that Major Cook did
not have standing to pursue his claim. Cook v. Good, No. 4:09-CV-82
(CDL), 2009 WL 2163535 (M.D. Ga. Jul. 16, 2009). Although Ms. Taitz’s
antics at that time caused the Court concern, the Court exercised
restraint, optimistically expecting that Plaintiff’s counsel would not
return for a repeat performance. The Court’s hopes were quickly
dashed when it learned of Ms. Taitz’s subsequent press conference, in
which she reportedly stated that the Court’s ruling made “absolutely no
sense,” was “totally illogical” and “defied] any sense of
decency,” notwithstanding the fact that her client had obtained the
relief he sought and thus had no legal standing to maintain the
action...These comments foreshadowed that we would see Ms.
Taitz again.

I read the ruling during lunch and it was laugh-out-loud funny! :rofl:

I've never read a decision like this. He must have been really fed up! lol!

Diane

Anishnabe in MI

She's demented. Who is she listening to?
I'm so sorry for her. :nopity:


Bye Bye Oily Tits. You're 5 minutes is UP!

She's been ordered to pay a fine and if she doesn't ... lock her ass UP!!

Courtroom-shopping in a never-ending zeal over one's pet obsession never ends well for lawyers.

How soon til Fox bails her out with a talking head slot offer?

This could very well be what happens. Is her mental condition that much different from Coulter's and her cohorts? Nope. All peas in a pod.

It seem more concerned about providing fresh red meat to their targeted gun totin', Sarah Palin lovin' demographic.:shrug:

outta their frakin' minds......

To: BuckeyeTexan
Isn’t this the same judge who met with the AG Holden before the hearings? At least that is the rumor.

Justice is blind, yea right.


________________________________

http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/10/birther_taitz_alleges_judge_met_with_eric_holder.php

Taitz alleges that Judge Clay Land met with Attorney General Eric Holder, who was allegedly spotted at a small coffee shop across from Land's courtroom in Columbus, Georgia, on the day of a Birther hearing. A strange affidavit by one Robert Douglas describes the putative sighting of Holder, sans entourage, who "probably thought he would not be recognized."

Douglas writes:

I looked up and immediately recognized an individual entering and approaching the serving counter, due to his well know TV displayed distinguishing features: his trim upper lip mustache, not large of stature and general olive complexion.


__________________________________

BTW, Holder was in California for 2 days on business and there are dozens of witness that saw him at the event. And also, when did 6'4" become "not large of stature"

From the various responses on that thread he's definitely in complete lockstep with Orly down to where they sound like echos of each other.

While I have no doubt that "Buckhead" of Dan Rather infamy has no love for Obama it appears that he may be one of the more rational ones at least in regards to realizing the damage the birthers (if not just Orly specifically) are doing to conservatives.

Throughout the entire referenced thread there's comment after commment about the judge's obvious bias and how he's in Obama's pocket.

I'd wager that if one dug into voter records that we'd find that Land probably voted for McCain. If there is a bias on Land's end it's a bias for "rule of law" and how one should conduct themselves when presenting a case to the court.

Reading though the comments there though, it would seem that even FReeperland's patience with these tinfoil twits is wearing thin. Birtherism has become more dogmatic than practical is the problem; as they veer more and more into Schiavo territory, the Old Guard conservatives get increasingly antsy.

It's not working very well, though.

These people aren't GETTING it, do they?

The horror to see Bob's genius abused like that...

I just can't believe her resume... she's too stupid and nutty. Did she endure head trauma at some point in her life?

She's an embarrassment to the legal profession (not to mention the human race).

Please.

*fingers crossed*

Does she have a family somewhere? In Russia or wherever she claims to come from?

I read the Freeper posts after the judge issued his last statements last week and was surprised to see how many of them realized she was 'delusional'. Apparently this judge agrees.

However, other delusional Freepers mis-read the judge's statements, which set a date for trial, as an order and no one was able to convince them, including people with legal backgrounds, that all that was, was 'house-keeping'. Freepers who now turn out to be right, were called 'trolls', unable to see the 'genius' of O'rly.

It ought to be fun to see their reaction today. I imagine there will be a few demands for apologies.

Seriously though, there really is something wrong with Orly. I think the judge knows it and the next court she appears in, as I'm sure this won't stop her, will probably order a psychiatric evaluation. That might be the only way she gets out of paying the fine.

Perhaps the combination of the fine and the upcoming disbarment will finally put an end to her nonsense.

Oh, well - it was fun while it lasted! She was the gift that just kept on giving. Freepers are going ever-deeper into total 'tinfoil hat territory' and asking is it is possible that she was a WHite House plant all along!

Lol, I see some of the freepers are beginning to wonder where she came from. Did she 'just inject herself' into the case, or did someone ask her.

One thing is for sure, she has killed the Birther movement which is apparent to the less delusional freepers.


The judge probably didn't want to order a psychiatric evaluation in this case because he probably knows she then declare herself to be 'living in the Soviet Union' where dissenters were sent away to 're-education' camps.

Freepers are now counting on Judge Carter, having declared Judge Land to be part of the great conspiracy that is covering up for Obama ~ :rofl:

I think they will soon be adding Judge Carter to that list.

Go Crazy Lady, Go!

Big mistake

Use it to mail yourself to jail. ;-)

And is planning to continue to do so up the hierarchy.

I wonder how far she will get before she is disbarred or thrown in jail for contempt? Should we start a pool?

And then we will see how long she will "chuckle"

Perhaps she can be on the GOP 2012 ticket, as a running mate to someone..

If had HM representing me before a court, I'd probably be fine with it. I wouldn't let Orly handle a traffic ticket.

Thus warranting jail time?

"Me and my Republicon Homelander cronies are trying our worst to make America FAIL, but we just can't do it if we have to act with honesty, integrity, and within the bounds of common sense and the law and shit like that. Whine."

- Orly (R)

I bet she ends up with criminal contempt citations before this is over.

Go back to the obscurity you deserve, Orly.

:crazy:

Every crazy person thinks he's perfectly sane. It's the rest of us who have the mental problems.

Don't expect this bird to have any insight. She's incapable of it at this point.

This is the stuff of operatic tragedy, folks, the spunky kid who comes to a new country with nothing but a dream, educates herself, and then goes crazy and loses it all.

The Federal Marshalls will come for her and she'll have the media there. Once imprisoned, she and her supporters will claim that Obama personally signed the arrest warrant and she is a political prisoner and subject to the Geneva Conventions. There will be demonstrations, proclamations and speeches on the floors of Congress.

This is exactly what she wants, short of continuing her lawsuit through the courts system.

to discontinue torture was, of course, ineffective because she hasn't seen his birth certificate.

:rofl:

20 or 30 overweight low-brow degenerates is not going to convince public opinion no more than they did in August at the town halls.

One way or another, asylum is likely to be in her future.

but I'm not laying any bets. It'll be interesting to see how this pays out.

50 to 1 Newt.

Am I forgetting anyone? Ralph Reed? Neil Bush?

It's impossible to become a martyr when you have no followers. What little noise you hear at FR is really nothing but echoes from weeks or months ago.

Exhibit A of what happens when hate rots someone's brain, from the inside out.

Orly Taitz claims that she is merely a "lawyer," with a purely "legal" interest in the details of Obama's birth, but I obviously suspect there's more to her Obama birth obsession than this or mere insanity. Taitz hails from a milieu of Soviet-born Israelis among whom far-right, anti-Arab and anti-Muslim sentiment runs much stronger by most accounts than among the general Israeli population, as numerous Israeli and international sources have observed. Witness the rise of Avigdor Lieberman, Soviet-born leader of the far-right Yisrael Beiteinu party, made up mostly of other Soviet-born Israelis with strongly anti-Arab views, many of whom live not in Israel itself but in West Bank settlements; and many of whom really, really don't like Barack Hussein Obama.

Taitz has a documented association with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), a powerful pro-Israel lobby group with close ties to Binyamin Netanyahu's right-wing Likud party, as Allison Hoffman notes in Tablet. I'd be very interested in hearing what sympathies Taitz may have not just for Likud but for Yisrael Beiteinu, and what connections she may have with Soviet-born settlers in the West Bank. As observed above, she is on record saying that Israel's Arab enemies should be "exterminated" rather than merely defeated, and appears to have refused a ride to MSNBC's affiliate in Tel Aviv because she believed the driver to be a Muslim. Like right-wing settlers (see video), Taitz is also fond of calling her critics "nazis" or "brownshirts," as she did with David Schuster in her interview from Tel Aviv. Taitz spoke about her birther activities in a March 1 interview with Israeli National Radio.

Could this be why she has found so much in common with Islamophobic American rednecks who think that Obama is a secret Muslim born in Kenya? Could it also be that America's best interests are not those she has most at heart in her dogged efforts to undermine our president?

http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/blogs/eades/2009/08/why-is-orly-taitz-in-israel-tw.php

benefits israel in the battle for american hearts and minds.

When something over 70% of American Jews voted for Obama and still support him? He's unpopular in Israel, granted, but he's loved here.

Or is someone going to try to pound that wedge in, between American Jews and African Americans? They have historically been on the same side; the bad blood between them over the last couple of decades has been an aberration.

as much time in their news when she was promoting her
insanity vs her future incarceration, trial and imprisonment?

No..........But that's never the point is it?

Lesson #1 is you don't fuck with judges. It's a GUARANTEED career-changer.

dentistry to fall back on. Unless she loses her license. :rofl:

I don't even call it hypocrisy any more. These are the lost ones.

Hey lady, McCain wasn't born in the US. You'd be better off trying to condemn him than Obama. And even that one is empty. You're lost, woman. I pity you.

Her crazy legal theories are the same type that are used by nuts that refuse to pay their taxes and claim that they are unconstitutional, etc.

Clay Land is a Federal Judge in the Middle District of Georgia, Columbus Division.

He is a Bush appointee and a solid guy. When I was a lawyer we has some interaction.

Today, he threw out Connie Rhodes’s lawsuit. That lawsuit is the one filed claiming Rhodes cannot be deployed to Iraq because Barack Obama is “not constitutionally eligible to act as Commander in Chief of the United States armed forces.”

Oily Taint will pay to avoid jail time when she learns that she will have to check her wig at the processing desk before entering the cell block.

She will go on to form a strong friendship with Sarah Palin, culminating in a combined Palin/Taitz ticket for the 2012 Presidential election.
Some will refer to this doomed campaign as 'Winky & Hinky '12'.

When the hopeful candidates are informed that only a native born U.S. citizen may run for Vice President, Taitz will take it upon herself to file a law suit in federal court challenging this on the basis that the U.S. Constitution is invalid because a couple of the authors were foreigners.

She will be laughed out of court again, and end up spending the rest of her days in a public park ranting at statues and soiling herself.

So now the undue process will proceed, I guess. I think it will not end here. I think it will not end at all.

what a single minded lunatic. Her persecution complex is only brought on by her asinine legal actions.

:kick:

You do not need a law degree to be admitted to the bar. You need merely pass the bar exam, although it is one of the more difficult ones in the country.

From what I've read the woman is crazy. Crazy people choke up court dockets all over the country. The only reason why she got any national attention is b/c of the teabagger movement which embraced her. And the teabagger movement is lent credence by the GOP establishment.

So, the msm, in the interest of "balance" has given these people far more air time and attention than they deserve. She, the queen of the birthers, is just flat out crazy. We don't give the people mumbling to themselves on the streets any play, so why should she get any? Because she hasn't descended into such utter madness that she's homeless and destitute?

If she fails to pay the fine, which will be upheld, I am quite sure, she will be held in contempt. She will be disbarred. I'm not sure about deportation as I'm no expert in immigration law, but I'm not sure why she'd risk it if she weren't batshit crazy.

by refusing to pay the fine?

Layers and layers and layers of crazy fun!

And then - bam! - yet another layer of craziness still hidden inside!

Good times...

The State Bar OCTC (Office of Chief Trial Counsel as if there are subordinate offices) will launch an investigation. Ms. Taitz will undoubtedly ignore their polite request for an explanation, which is further punishable. A rookie mistake. They will then launch a proceeding. Which she will probably ignore. Even if she doesn't, I cannot imagine that they will not choose to beat up on her mercilessly as the administrative system contains no rights for the accused like a criminal system. The minimum sentence will be a six month suspension.

The OCTC is utterly corrupted. Review the case of Benjamin Fields, Santa Clara County Deputy DA. He got five years suspension (one stayed!) for diddling with the evidence in multiple criminal cases. This was as serious as any case the OCTC has every put before the State Bar Court. There were multiple incidents. It should have been disbarment. They only asked for 3 years suspension. He has the chutzpah to appeal it. Hopefully the appeal court (which I have not practiced in front of) will disbar him. They have authority to increase the sentence.

I'm not familiar with Benjamin Fields, but with drespect to evidence diddling (a felony),
usually that job is left to alert police officers, not the DA. Still, the strength of
the evidence of 'diddling' might be slight and that would bear on the Fields discipline.
This is not, on its face, strong evidence of corruption of OCTC. However, you seem more
familiar with circumstances of the Fields case so I leave it to you.

Oily will get her disciplinary hearing, I am confident. She is, after all, a CA lawyer
who is pro hacking around the countryside, without client and in apparent reckless disregard
of law or the rights of others. Oh, btw, the guy writing her frivolous pleadings.. he's also a
disbarred CA lawyer. So at least we know some lawyers get disbarred in CA.

Recall Orly has multiple complaints and admonishments by the Fed courts, and the Bar
will be considering those also, along with a $20,000 sanction (!) which just has to be
rare, one might hope.

Personally, I think she needs a psych eval. Her "supporters" are funding her as long as she
is center stage, so she probably isn't worried about $20,000. Appealing it will just keep her
fund raising going. This is a reoccurring tactic of the right... consider John Ashcroft,
repeatedly admonished for bad faith litigation, for example.

there's nothing I'd like more than to see her in a perp walk. Cuffs and leg irons are the appropriate fashion accessories.

Orly must have ticked off the Judge something awful to earn this kind of an order.

she claims Obama's be living hither and yon under many false names, using scores of false social security numbers; and such assertions were the core of her case, which aimed at delaying the deployment of a soldier to Iraq. When the judge tossed the case, and asked Orly to explain why he shouldn't hit her for $10K for frivolity, her client quickly bailed while Orly filed a motion for reconsideration, a motion apparently intended to continue the case without her client, and a motion asking the judge to recuse himself on the grounds that: (1) he was a traitor and (2) must have had ex parte communications with Eric Holder (based on somebody's "I think I saw somebody who reminded me of Eric Holder in a Georgia coffee shop one day" affidavit) and (3) had a corrupt financial interest in the outcome of case, due to his holding of Microsoft stock :eyes:

It is MANDATORY for her to report to the CalBar the sanctions ~~ since they are in an amount of $1,000.00 or greater. IIRC, she MUST pay the sanctions per Cal Rules of Prof Conduct ~~ or the bar can suspend her.

Disbarment in 30 days.

She apparently thinks shes as above the law as Bush and Cheney are!

Sorry, dear, the laws still apply to us common folk.

plate.

... and the comic relief is welcome.

This lady is the epitome of the wingnut hypocrisy: a lady born in Moldova, who then emigrated to Israel, and became US citizen by marriage... has the gall to question publicly the citizenship of our president armed with a mail-in law degree and a thick accent. Sometimes, you just can't make some of this sh*t up.

She provides comic relief, and also because she is making the birthers look like idiots.

Starts off by announcing Judge Land decided against her because he is "CORRUPT." I can only think that will enhance her penalties. Airs again at 12:00. She also held up Judge Carter's scheduling order and announced that meant her case would go to jury trial, which is completely FALSE, it merely sets forth the schedule IN CASE the case goes to trial, but in no way orders a trial. It's amazing how easily she ignore small impediments such as FACTS.

PICS, pics, anyone??

Today is a good day :)

Ask Linda Tripp. Once the 15 minutes are up, don't count on riches from speeches and defense funds.

It should be comedic.

Prison for fraud and blah blah, putting her under the jail....what's not to like?

:D

Complete fucking batshit crazy and deserves all the punishment she will receive.

The judge roasted her too. It was great.

I've been waiting for some shit happening to that lunatic. Now, IMPEACH THAT CON-ARTIST FROM THE BAR!

... and they call themselves patriotic ...if it wasn't tragic, the behavior of republicans would be really funny!

100 years from now, historians, kids and general citizens would wonder whether republicans were the figment of imagination or whether such lowly folks really existed.
