The greatest case I've ever handled is one I will only talk about in detail in person, but the defendant was the US government. Upon our prevailing, the US Attorney's Office challenged my position on attorney fees, so I had to dig deeply into the EAJA (Equal Access to Justice Act) statute that forms the basis for such awards. The gratifying aspect of that law is that it doesn't merely require the federal government to pay up when it screws up, but it requires the payment to come out of the specific budget of the agency at fault, and not out of the general treasury. Upon winning my award (this wasn't a massive case mind you; just some very unfair and arrogant treatment of a legal immigrant), I took great pleasure in reminding the Assistant US Attorney that we wanted the funds to come out of the local USCIS office and not from the Treasury in Washington. I wanted the director of the local office to feel the burn at an individual managerial level, rather than just passing this off as another problem for someone else thousands of miles away to deal with.

I think Orly should file a motion for clarification as to how much of that money goes to her.

but but but - it's a Kookstitutional Emergency

Cellphone moment #1:


Cellphone moment #2:

By the way, did she ever actually get a ruling denying her motion, or did it just go off into the ether of frivolity?

Taitz was clearly surprised that her case was called first and she had to decide -- do I drag my zibit up there or turn off my cellphone? She chose wrong.

I noticed there were 3 other cases. That would be at least 6 more people. Sounds like there was a sign in sheet for each case.

What a moron. I don't know anyone who has actually used the word "Esquire" when stating their appearance for the record. What a pompous, ignorant buffoon.

More than one laugh out loud moments in this one.

"Thank you Judge." Yeah, that shows respect.

When asked if she served her reply: "I served a bunch of them and I guess that its going to be on Pacer shortly, also." This actually has more detail than her proof of service affidavits usually do.

"Doctor Orly Taitz Esquire." She wants the judge to know she's a dentalawyer.

Naw. She wants the judge to think she has achieved the highest degree of higher education.

Mario the Putz has been known to attach Esquire to his name, and to defend the practice. Although whether he does that or not when stating his appearance is unknown.

It was deNINED ages ago.

Orly just never told her minions.

I don't know if it's true but I heard that Orly even signs her birthday cards to her children with Esq after her name.

What an awesome way to start the day!! And it's not even Fogbow Friday yet!

BEST LINE:

(FIF him.)

Also, too: I'm shocked, just SHOCKED, that the Obot-On-The-Spot report was ackerit. Someone must have gotten to the court reporter, eh?

Three other highlowlights:


No comment.


Yes it does.


Yes, we can haz take you srsly. Any. Day. Now.

I guess all of this stuff about Weiner is making me read things really, really wrong.

Oops, my bad!

But yes, Greek chorus, exactly. The court reporter's label is what caused me to snort coffee through my nose. "UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER." Bwahahaha!!!

Is "enlarged exhibits" what the kids are calling a uniboob these days?

"The PACER notifications should be in their email when they return to the office."

This, folks, is known as an ambush. Playing dirty.

From the clap trap

WTF???

I just don't get it.

Why would the Judge allow Orly to giver her has-nothing-to-do-with-the actual-case spiel much less drag the real attorneys in the case into his courtroom when he had read her crap and knew it was crap?

"Protecting the record," as they say in the biz.

How does letting a lunatic ramble about something that has nothing to do with the case protect the record? Why not just do like Judge Lamberth? Write "file it" and "DENIED" on her motion? I guess I'm just stupid, 'cause I just don't get why she wasn't simply ignored.



Not a hint of the ridicule she deserves.



Really? You appreciate having to drop what you were doing and get to court to listen to Orly's bullshit?

Of course Mr. Rosenblum appreciated it. His hours had been a little down for the month.

Lessens issues on appeal.


Judges have differing views on how to handle troublesome people. Compare Judge Carter to Judge Robertson: Who handled their respective cases better; who got a better result?


The attorneys will still be in front of that judge after Taitz leaves; just being "polite" (and the attorney was actually make a dig at Taitz).
