Huh? Generally, partners are jointly and severally liable for all partnership liabilities. In professional partnerships (i.e., an entity of licensed professionals) there can be no limitation on liability for obligations arising from the practice. Leo is on the hook for 100%.

Thanks to the Internet Wayback Machine, we can look at early writings from Leo Donofrio. This one from December 19, 2008, caught my eye:

To emphasize that, Donofrio graphically illustrated his point:



Look at the headline: “SCOTUS … in ‘Minor v. Happersett’ … punted on ‘Natural Born Citizen.’”

fees owed by Appellants counsel, Pidgeon & Donofrio GP, at $127,987.50

Oh my.

No appeal of the amount?

I would have to go back and look at the pleadings, but IIRC Jones Day was asking 128k, so if my memory is correct (that's not a given, it's been so long ago) the SDNY gave them almost every penny asked for.

Pretty unusual, but based on their pleadings, which basically just insulted the trustee and the judges, the Court obviously felt it warranted.

These assclowns should stick to harassing the government, which is usually more forgiving of such antics.

I wonder if these buffoons will consider getting malpractice insurance.

So who is next? Orly? Mario? Venn Diagram?

Strunk, and he may push June BirtherSanctions to seven figures.

With the sanctions Orly ought to owe the federal treasury we could build a coupla aircraft carriers, maybe balance the budget.

How much does an aircraft carrier cost?
In: Military Equipment, US Navy [Edit categories]
Answer:
The Nimitz-class carriers cost was initially around $675 million; that figure has grown to between $4.5 and $6.2 billion to produce. This is due in large part to upgraded multirole systems, hull redesign to improve efficiency, and their role redesignation from strictly attack to ASW and other threat prosecution operations/defense. While the newer carriers may initially cost more to produce, their long-term operational costs are expected to be lower than previous ships of the class.

The newest Ford-class carriers are expected to cost around $9 billion each (in 2010 dollars). However, given the history of new-construction programs, that figure is likely to be much higher. There is also a possibility given the current budget situation that DoD will revisit the construction plans due to its overall cost, and opt to continue to build the cheaper Nimitz-class vessels

The Reagan cost $5 billion

Let's hope. Nevertheless, for now, Leo Donofrio and Stephen Pidgeon jointly hold the birther-word record.

But, their crazy theory is that when Obama is found to be disqualified everything he's done -- everything -- will be unwound and deemed null and void. Among those things are the bankruptcies of GM and Chrysler/Cerebrus.
