Birther Loon Going Broke

The law is finally losing patience with Birther Queen Orly Taitz. U.S. District Court Judge Clay Land, in Columbus, has fined her $20,000 for willfully abusing her right to practice law. He says:

"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.”

In just a few months, she's gone from spearheading a teabagger cause célèbre to being an embarrassing loon everyone wishes would just shut up. Even Glenn Beck won't go there anymore. Maybe there is hope that the small but vociferous minority of Americans who have lost their damn minds may be starting to find them.
