        "While that proceeding will certainly affect Ms. Taitz’s financial condition, it is fantasy to suggest that these proceedings will in any way affect the fortunes of Microsoft and Comcast."

        "Mr. Douglas’s identification is based upon what he describes as the Attorney General’s “distinguishing features: his trim upper lip mustache, not large of stature and general olive complexion.” (Douglas Aff., Sept. 26, 2009.) The affidavit further states that Mr. Douglas “new [sic] instantly that it was none other than Eric Holder, the current Attorney General of the United States.” (Id.) Mr. Douglas has apparently never seen the Attorney General in person, but Mr. Douglas states that he recognized the Attorney General because he
        had seen Mr. Holder on television."

        "Once again,counsel ignores the law."

        "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.7"

        I was waiting to hear a quote from Ms. Taitz..."No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!"

          She has appealed this. Here is an excerpt from her motion.

          Finally, the undersigned counsel appeals all aspects of this Court’s Order in Document #28, wherein the Court proved its pervasively extreme and outrageous (extrajudicial) prejudice and bias against the undersigned counsel by not only denying her Motion to Recuse (Document #24) but also her Motion for Extension of Time to Respond to the Court’s Order to show cause (Document #25, referencing Document #17).

          Ordinarily, counsel admits that it would have been prudent if not required to seek relief from these sanctions by the filing of a motion under Rule 59 to preserve or perfect error in the trial court regarding the manifest errors of law and fact which the court made in its last entered order contained in Document #28. However, the undersigned counsel submits to the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit that this Court’s (Judge Clay D. Land’s) refusal to grant either of her last motions, while doubling its unreasonable assessment of sanctions against her from $10,000 to $20,000 rendered such a “normal” course of litigation conduct both futile and potentially self-destructive. Judge Land’s actions that amounted to misstating or misrepresenting ninety percent of what was presented in the pleadings and argument, completely ignoring ninety percent of the argument and facts, making extremely rude and demeaning remarks, showing bias; taken together, appear to be designed to silence her and, intimidate her and above all, punish her for what the Court perceived as political rather than “core” constitutional questions. It appears to be a thinly veiled threat to other attorneys not to pursue similar Constitutional issues, which will have a chilling effect on the ability of the public to use Federal Court system to uphold their constitutional rights. Judge Land’s remarks amounted to nothing short of political lynching, which turned into feast and celebration by the media mob. Accordingly, the undersigned counsel submits that she reasonably feared that filing any further motions might lead to the imposition of further sanctions by this particular Judge and Court. Judge Land might well have increased the sanctions amount from $20K to $40K or even $100K, all without specifying any real violations of Rule 11, even if such further filings were merely to show the undersigned counsel’s status as an attorney working pro bono without compensation, or to point out how the U.S. District Court had misconstrued some of the key precedents it cited in this case, including but not limited to Mindes, 453 F.2d 197 (5th Cir. 1971).
          What is she doing? Did she think the fine was too small? Seems like she wants a bigger one based on the tone of her motion

            Even some diehard birthers think she's whacko.

            The judgement was a good read, and the last part hit the spot.

            11The Court wishes to explore the possibility of directing the
            financial penalty to the National Infantry Foundation at Ft. Benning,
            Georgia, which has as part of its mission the recognition of our brave
            soldiers who do their duty regardless of the personal sacrifice required
            and their own personal political beliefs.

              I'm particularly giggling at the judge's footnote to his "alien from Mars" metaphor:

              "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."

              Is it really true that when God picked up the East Coast that just about everything loose rolled to California?
