'Birther Queen' Fined $20,000

"Birther queen" Orly Taitz must pay $20,000 for "wasting the judicial resources" with lawsuits alleging that President Barack Obama could not order members of the military to deploy to Iraq and Afghanistan because he is not an American citizen and therefore an illegitimate president. In this judgment, Judge Clay Land offers some tough criticism of Taitz, writing, "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.
