Rhodes v. MacDonald: What Will Justice Clarence Thomas Do?
In the unlikely event this case, kept alive at this point (mainly to forestall Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq.’s paying the $20,000 she owes American taxpayers), ever reached the Supreme Court, given Mrs. Justice Thomas’s winger activities of late, would Justice Clarence Thomas recuse himself?
You may remember this Great Birther Moment in 2009:
March 13, 2009 – Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. “flew and drove thousands of miles” to Moscow, Idaho to deliver a suitcase of Birther documents to Supreme Court Justice John Roberts, where he was delivering a speech. She informed him there was “criminal activity going on in the Supreme Court of the United States.” That would be the same Justice Roberts who delivered the Oath of Office (twice) to the POTUS when came “The Day That Would Never Come.”
Chief Justice Roberts, more likely his staff, probably had a good laugh about the crazy peroxide blond in Idaho that time with her suitcase, but nothing ever came of it. Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. has now submitted directly to Justice Thomas, according to her*, an “APPLICATION FOR EMERGENCY STAY AND/OR INJUNCTION AS TO THE sanctions”–he is justice in charge of the 11th Circuit, so it is certainly proper, unlike accosting a Supreme Court Justice with a suitcase. Nevertheless, I wonder if she is perhaps thinking she might have an ally in Justice Thomas’s wife.
Taitz posted to Virginia Thomas’s website for the mysteriously funded Liberty Central, (which benefited financially from Justice Thomas’s vote in the Supreme Court decision, Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission).

Obviously this says nothing about Mrs. Thomas–who earlier in his tenure had given up conservative activism for fear of causing a conflict of interest for her husband–or any Birther proclivities she may or may not have, and there is nothing to say the return call was ever made. While I doubt Justice Thomas would recuse himself over this, it is the lost mind of Orly Taitz we concern ourselves with, and it does point to an improper attempt by an attorney to make indirect contact with the Justice who would be receiving her petition to SCOTUS. Thomas, if he felt any conflict over Taitz’s behavior–say if it turned out his wife or her staff did call Orly Taitz and were foolish enough to discuss this with her–could simply turn the whole thing over to another Justice of the court to handle, just for appearances sake.
This can’t be what Taitz wants, but she seems to be doing her damnedest to make it happen.
Seriously, yesterday she posted to her blog, concerning a videotape in which Thomas is joking around, as he does year after year after year, with Rep. Jose Serrano about the status of Puerto Rico, for crissake:
Justice Clarence Thomas at Congressional committee hearing is stating that the Supreme Court is evading the Eligibility issue.

Taitz, of course, hasn’t met a judge yet she thinks should not recuse himself. (Serving Elena Kagan with a copy of this POS, in fact, Taitz in her petition then says Kagan should recuse herself, in the event she becomes a Supreme Court Justice.)
In the petition, she lambastes Federal Judge Clay D. Land in Georgia, who dismissed Rhodes v. MacDonald before levying the sanctions, insisting he should have recused himself when she asked him to.
October 13, 2009 – Having threatened sanctions on Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. of $10,000 for misconduct in Rhodes v. MacDonald in September, Judge Clay D. Land doubled it to $20,000, after she filed to have him recused and the case reconsidered, when she was supposed to respond to a Show Cause Order for the first $10,000.
But Orly was afraid Judge Land might be, horrors, “impartial,” according to this SCOTUS filing:
When there was a clear indication of bias and Taitz requested recusal of Land, it was his duty to avoid impartiality or even appearance of impartiality and recuse himself.
Haha. We can’t have that.
She is really going after Judge Land here, too:
While Taitz appreciates Land’s fondness of Lewis Carroll, it is really important for Land to wake up from his slumber and sweet dreams about Alice in Wonderland and appreciate the fact that US military did not fall in the rabbit hole and is not looking for an adventure, but is currently in Iraq and Afghanistan fighting real Radical Muslim Terrorists, and it is important for the military officers, as well as the whole nation to know if the Commander in Chief is Legitimate, and where does his allegiance lie. While citizens of this country do not expect Caroll’s mathematical abilities to be exhibited on the bench, never the less, they do expect more than the Lilliput deductive reasoning and legal analysis…
She compares the American justice system to that of the Soviets:
Taitz was born and raised in the Communist totalitarian regime of the Soviet Union, where no one single attorney was ever able to get a judgment against the Soviet Rulers and the regime. No Constitutional attorney was able to uphold any Constitutional rights of Soviet citizens, as those rights were routinely violated by the regime and the judiciary. It didn’t mean that the legal actions by the Constitutional attorneys were frivolous. It simply meant that the whole country descended in the darkness of tyranny. Similarly, allowing sanctions by judge Land to stand, will signify beginning of tyranny in the United states of America and end to the Constitutional Republic which is the foundation of this nation. The question is as follows: “If the judiciary can sanction an attorney for bringing an action to uphold a Constitutional right, what is next? Will FEMA camps be turned into the next GULAG? Will we see a wave of political assassinations of dissidents, as were seen in numerous totalitarian regimes around the World, such as regime of Saddam Hussein in Iraq or regime of Mahmud Ahmadinejad in Iran?” This is the most dangerous road a judiciary can take. When judiciary is pandering to an illegitimate dictator, who sits in the White House, using a Social Security number of another individual and not having a valid long form birth certificate, the country descends into tyranny.
And imposes more of her personal psychodrama to justify her paper terrorism:
Judge Land has stated that Taitz has resorted to political rhetoric. In reality, as the pleadings and transcripts have shown, Taitz has provided the court with the reasonable examples of members of the military following illegal orders. Taitz has provided the court with the example of three children, members of her husband’s family, who were killed in the Holocaust, when Nazi officers told these three young kids to dig their own graves, shot them and threw them into those graves. Judge Land called those statements “political rhetoric”, even though those were appropriate examples of consequences of members of the military following unlawful orders.
But our Orly is so brave:
If during the career of Thurgood Marshal, he would’ve encountered a judge like Clay D. Land, who would’ve fined him $20,000 for trying to protect the citizens’ constitutional rights, this would have put a stop to the civil right movement of the 50s and the 60s. Attorneys would have been scared, intimidated to represent the citizens who were trying to uphold their constitutional rights and someone like Barack Obama would have no chance of ever being anywhere near the ballot.
When she isn’t crying over Judge Land calling a Birther a Birther:
The decision and order by Judge Land shows clear bias. Judge Land has used a pejorative term “birther”, describing Taitz as the leader of the “birther” movement. It is not only not justified, but totally despicable that a Federal judge would use the technique of Saul Alinsky in trying to insult, assault and marginalize an attorney. Land used his color of authority to attack Taitz personally and, as one fighting for verification of eligibility.
And an eccentric an eccentric:
Land acted in a fashion unbecoming a judge, when he rudely tried to ridicule Taitz and assassinate her character. One of his statements was “perhaps an eccentric citizen has become convinced that the President is an alien from Mars, and the court should order DNA testing to enforce the Constitution.” Clearly there is a huge difference between actions of some eccentric person and attorney like Taitz bringing affidavits from licensed investigators and experts.” Affairs like Water –gate did not go unpunished. Obama-gate will not go unpunished. Land rudely called Taitz effords “antics”. In reality judge Land’s actions were antics. Massive fraud of American citizens perpetrated by Obama will be punished and history will not look kindly on judge Land’s antics and on any other judge who was aiding and abetting Obama’s massive fraud.
If Taitz thinks Judge Land disrespected her, I don’t know what she calls this:
Let’s imagine for a moment that someone, a janitor, decides to play a prank. He puts on a black robe and sits on the bench and signs an order for an officer to be deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, let’s say he signs such order when judge Land is on a bathroom brake. Say, such officer brings a complaint, that the order was illegal. Does it mean, that if the order seems to be legal on it’s face, it is actually legal, regardless of whether the person, who signed it, is actually a judge or a janitor playing a prank? Does an attorney for such officer supposed to be sanctioned $20,000 for merely bringing the claim to court and asking to evaluate it’s validity?
Or this:
Additionally Land assessed costs of litigation against the client. He never revealed, what was the amount of the costs and there is no record of Capt Rhodes ever paying those costs, so it was clear that a deal was made, whereby if Capt Rhodes decides not to pursue the appeal and if she dismisses Taitz as her counsel, costs against Cpt. Rhodes would be waived by Land and/or military. Not only this issue of costs showed bias against Taitz, and reason for disqualification under 28 USC §455 (a), it needs to be investigated by an independent counsel for purpose of Judicial Misconduct by Judge Land and violation of Taitz civil rights under the color of authority by Judge Land.
Accusing a Federal judge of collusion with, not only the Defense, but with her own client–that’s gotta go over well–but the truth is, as Orly Taitz knows as well as anyone, Capt. Rhodes fired her ass, having nothing to do with costs, but for her “reprehensible” and “unprofessional” conduct of the case. If Taitz had her way, then, Connie Rhodes, just returning from her tour in Iraq, would face an investigation brought about by a slander of her committed by her own attorney.
Taitz even threatens SCOTUS itself with felonies:
The fact that Judge Land refused to review any evidence, and attempted to intimidate Taitz with sanctions, assassinate her character and endanger her law license, means that he intentionally used his authority to aid and abet those crimes. If this court does not reverse such sanctions and does not order an independent investigation, this court will be guilty of aiding and abetting all of the felonies committed by Obama. This court will be guilty of misprision of multiple felonies.
Here is a laugh and a half, though, coming from her:
The whole world is looking at the United States in complete bewilderment, not understanding what mental disorder has afflicted US judges and US attorneys and other officials in allowing such insanity to go on for a year and a half now.
And blah, blah, blah, pancakes, for 26-50 pages, depending on format, which Jack Ryan Scribd has been kind enough to post, so nobody has to visit her malware-ridden website* to read it.
She already has the full brief on special!
Full brief with attachments is about 300 pages. We can have it copied, made in a book form, autographed and mailed to you for a minimum donation of a $100 or more. It will help cover our costs and fees and will help Dr. Taitz to continue fighting for your freedoms and for your children’s future.
Heh heh.

The crux of the matter is she doesn’t want to spring for the $20,000:
Sanctions assessed by Land constitute an irreparable harm to Taitz. Land not only assessed sanctions against Taitz and verbally assaulted and insulted her, but he also submitted his order to the CA bar with the clear intent to undermine her law license and take her livelihood away from her. If sanctions are not stayed and reversed, there will be an irreparable harm to the professional license of Taitz and her ability to earn livelihood.
What livelihood is that? Has she ever had a paying client?
Let us recall another Great Birther Moment in 2009:
October 4, 2009 – Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. submits an unauthenticated affidavit in Rhodes v. MacDonald by a Birther who swears he saw AG Eric Holder in a coffee shop in Columbus, Georgia; of course, there to pressure Judge Clay Land, who had never met the man in his life. This was supposed to have happened during a hearing on Cook v. Good, on a day Holder was in Los Angeles promoting the Recovery Act.
The Coffee Shop Affidavit made a fresh appearance on Taitz’s website* this week, shortly before joining the SCOTUS appeal, and she had this to say about it:
2. dr_taitz@yahoo.com
July 7th, 2010 @ 6:41 amThis statement is not brought to show that Holder was definitely there, but there was a possibility, this man provided me with an affidavit, I had to submit it to court. Judge Land already used inappropriate language and remarks, he showed himself to be biased, it was his duty to recuse himself, yet he didn’t.
It was her duty as an attorney and officer of the court to substantiate that charge before frivolously filing the affidavit; that’s what Orly Taitz had to do and didn’t do. Judge Land, who should know, stated that he has never met the AG Holder, so there was no “possibility”; besides, Holder was covered by the media in Los Angeles that day. Why on earth would anyone expect a judge to recuse himself over common Birfer gossip he knows for himself is untrue?
And yet, here is false evidence being filed, again, this time with a petition to SCOTUS. Irreparable harm to the professional license of Orly Taitz? One can only hope the California Bar Association will wake the fuck up one of these days.
