I guess you shouldn't continue to ridicule a judge when he threatens you with sanctions. Do you think this is excessive under the circumstances? [i]A judge who dismissed a lawsuit over President Barack Obama's eligibility and was accused by the attorney of exhibiting "subservience" to that "same illegitimate chain of command" now is threatening the lawyer with a $10,000 fine. U.S. District Judge Clay Land of the Middle District of Georgia had dismissed a complaint challenging Obama's eligibility to be commander-in-chief by Capt. Connie Rhodes, the medical doctor and Army officer who wanted a restraining order to prevent her overseas deployment on the basis Obama has not demonstrated himself to be a natural-born citizen under the U.S. Constitution. Orly Taitz, the California attorney handling many of the lawsuits challenging Obama's eligibility, immediately filed a request for reconsideration of the dismissal, even though she was threatened by the judge with sanctions. "Plaintiff avers that there is increasing evidence that the United States District Courts in the 11th Circuit are subject to political pressure, external control, and, mostly likely, subservience to the same illegitimate chain of command which plaintiff has previously protested in this case, except that the de facto president is not even nominally the commander-in-chief of the Article III Judiciary," the request said.

"In her most recent tirade, plaintiff's counsel seeks reconsideration of the court's order dismissing this action. Instead of seriously addressing the substance of the court's order, counsel repeats her political diatribe against the president, complains that she did not have time to address dismissal of the action … accuses the undersigned of treason, and maintains that 'the United States District Courts in the 11th Circuit are subject to political pressure, external control, and … subservience…," the judge wrote. "This filing contemptuously ignores the court's previous admonition that plaintiff's counsel discontinue her illegitimate use of the federal judiciary to further her political agenda," Land wrote. "Counsel for plaintiff is ordered to show cause why the court should not impose a monetary penalty of $10,000.00 upon plaintiff's counsel for her misconduct. Counsel shall file her response to this show cause order within 14 days…," Land wrote. [/i] http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=110300
