California Bar Now Investigating Orly Taitz
Source: TPMMuckracker

The State Bar of California is investigating Orly Taitz, a process that could ultimately result in the Birther attorney's disbarment, Taitz and her lawyer confirmed to TPMmuckraker.

The investigation was prompted at least in part by a sanction for professional misconduct against Taitz in a Birther case in federal court in Georgia. Taitz continues to fight the $20,000 fine, which was imposed on her for making frivolous filings.

The bar's options for disciplinary action range from private reproval to disbarment. The latter punishment usually comes in cases in which attorneys "have a history of misconduct" or in which they have "committed a very serious violation, such as perjury or stealing client funds," according to the bar's Web site.

Let's hope that the Bar decides that Taft Law is not acceptable and removes it from the acceptable of law schools to which to sit for the Bar.

And that Orly is permanently and irrevocably disbarred and not allowed to practice anywhere (Psst, she's already breaking the law everywhere)

1. What the hell took them so long?? Glad they are finally waking up to the bad name she's giving them.
Her "history of misconduct" is more than clear.

She will receive a lot more attention and scrutiny than she probably ever imagined, lol.

12. Degree from an accredited law school not required to sit for CA Bar.
Unaccredited schools are accepted. But those who pass the bar and are licensed without attending an accredited school can only practice law in CA. They can file cases in Federal courts, however, regardless of location.

7. I'd consider voting for her
if she could prove she wasn't born in Kenya.

Well, no, on second thought, no I wouldn't.

14. Hahahahahaha.
I look forward to seeing Orly frogmarched out of her "law office" (which is really a refrigerator box under an overpass) as she screams about "fascism" and "Obama brownshirts".

15. I am sure this will go over well with the California Bar...
"But Taitz has, on her blog, has called on supporters to write to Littlefield and tell her that the "CA Attorneys' bar needs to act not as a tool of the Democratic party, not as a political hack, but as an organization devoted to upholding the Constitution and rule of law and needs to stand up and support me, and provide me with legal and financial help.""

:rofl:
