Wacko Birther Leader Fined $20,000 by Bush Appointed Judge

Land, appointed in 2001 by President George W. Bush, had already dismissed the lawsuit, but Taitz continued filing motions. He said he fined her $20,000 "as a deterrent to prevent future misconduct and to protect the integrity of the court."

He added that while Taitz's speech is protected by the First Amendment, "the federal courts are reserved for hearing genuine legal disputes, not as a platform for political rhetoric and insults."

So what is it, people?  Is this BUSH APPOINTED JUDGE part of the conspiracy?   Having reviewed her original court papers and all of her motions and finding not a single, solitary shred of logic, reason, or common sense in it, does the judge's fine drive a nail in the coffin of the idiot movement or embolden it?

The Daily Beast adds that the judge also noted,  "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… Her response to the Court’s show cause order is breathtaking in its arrogance and borders on delusional." The fine is due in 30 days.

And just to show how deranged these people really are, from Salon.com:

At one point in his ruling, Land -- explaining why President Obama's eligibility for his post, or lack thereof, is not a matter for the courts -- writes:

One can readily see the wisdom of entrusting the elected representatives of the people with the ultimate decision as to whether a President should be removed from office rather than litigating the issue in our courts. Although counsel’s present concern is the location of the President’s birth, it does not take much imagination to extend the theory to his birthday .... If he refused to admit publicly that he is older than the constitutional minimum age of thirty-five, should Ms. Taitz be allowed to file a lawsuit and have a court order him to produce his birth certificate? Or perhaps an eccentric citizen has become convinced that the President is an alien from Mars, and the courts should order DNA testing to enforce the Constitution.

Land isn't kidding about that last part, apparently. In a footnote attached to that argument, he writes:

The Court does not make this observation simply 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.

And in a show of affection and support, the "Doctor" posted the actual e-mail on her blog for all of her supporters to see.
