Orly's client Rhodes fires Orly, claims she never authorized various motions, etc.

Letter from Rhodes to judge here:

[BuyingThyme]

1. Wow! Is that real?

[Critters2]

2. I'm confused. She asked for a motion to be filed but not a stay of her deployment?

Either way, the fact that Taitz was filing motions without discussing them with her client should pretty much be the last nail in the coffin of her law career, shouldn't it? Especially after what that judge said when handing down the decision.

[iceman66]

7. It SHOULD be,

but I'm guessing it won't be.

This train hasn't run out of steam just yet.

[WeDidIt]

12. It'll take the California Bar Association a while to sort it out

We're in for several weeks of high comedy from the Oily Taintz show.

:popcorn:

[Frank Booth]

37. Lawyers file motions without discussing them with their clients all the time.

It's perfectly acceptable (and it's often better that way).

The problem here is the lawyer was filing frivolous, completely batshit crazy motions without her client's permission. That's probably not acceptable.

[LostInAnomie]

3. Sounds like buyer's remorse.

She lost her moronic case so now she's flailing. :rofl:

[blondeatlast]

6. That's what I was thinking. She was photographed with Taitz outside

the courtroom.

[susanr516]

41. Perhaps the US Army

gave Capt. Rhodes a choice. Fulfill the terms of her enlistment, or receive a dishonorable discharge and immediately pay back the two years med school tuition.

[Journeyman]

4. Well, if my lawyer got slapped around by the judge like Orly Taitz did. . .

I'd disavow them as well -- just as quickly and quite as decisively as Connie Rhodes just did. No sense in everyone going up Shit Creek, especially as there were no paddles with which to begin the journey.

[Ruby the Liberal]

5. Dishonorable Discharge overruled Teabirtherism

Welcome back to reality, Dr. Rhodes

[dmr]

40. Yea, that's what I'm thinking

along with seeing Orly getting slapped by the judge, the doctor saw the writing on the wall, and knew she better shape up and ship out.

[tridim]

8. Is it legal to file motions without a client's knowledge?

What a freaking soap opera! :rofl:

[blondeatlast]

11. Considering there's a photograph of Rhodes outside the courtroom with Taitz,

I think she's desperately trying to avoid a court martial and nothing more.

[malaise]

19. Ding ding

We have a winner.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

26. Can you link the pic, or the thread where it is posted? I want to see what this moron looks like.

[blondeatlast]

36. Link number 2 in post 27 has the pic I'm referring to. I'd seen the pic but

didn't know where so couldn't provide it. Thanks again to charlie for it.

[Laelth]

15. Attorneys have a duty to communicate with their clients.

But ... attorneys don't have to ask their clients' permission to do anything, really. Clients set the goals of the representation. Attorneys determine the means (and that includes filing whatever motion or taking any legal action).

In this case, Rhodes is wrong. Taitz (to the extent that she is an attorney) has the right to file any motion she likes for her client, with or without her client's consent or prior knowledge.

:dem:

17. My wicked mind wants to see Rhodes file a malpractice suit here...

But I know Rhodes is just trying to cover her ass.

[Hepburn]

34. Normally a mx must be supported by a least one declaration...

...usually that of one's client.

This is odd ~~ since it appears that Dr. R. was with Orly, but now protests her conduct as being unknown and unconsented to.

Frankly, IMO, it appears that that Dr. R. is trying to save her military career ~~ she most likely saw the hand writing on the wall which said, COURT MARTIAL.

JMHO

[grytpype]

9. They're both full of shit.

It's hilarious that this is happening to Taintz though, I am a lawyer and she makes me want to puke. Not just because of her politics, she's also an absolutely shitty lawyer.

[Berry Cool]

10. I believe this is what lawyers might call a "clusterfile."

To use a polite term, that is.

[LiberalAndProud]

13. She faxed the letter from OfficeMax at 13:58

What time did the judge reject the stay?

Like I said in another thread, her behavior is reminiscent of my five-year-old granddaughter when she notices that I am DONE with the nonsense.

[PopSixSquish]

14. Twenty Bucks Says that the Captain was Advised by Her Superior Officer

to STFU and "just soldier, soldier" otherwise she'd see the inside of the United States Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth...

[kestrel91316]

16. This is how she plans to avoid a few years in Leavenworth, is my guess.

But, but, your honor, this crazy bitch did all this stuff without my knowledge or consent!!!! Waaahhhhhh!!!

Rhodes didn't want to go to Iraq, and didn't want to follow the black man's orders to do so. Now she can suffer the consequences.

SHE HIRED ORLY TAITZ.

[MineralMan]

18. Rhodes is going to be Latrine Officer, I guarandamntee...

She is not going to enjoy her deployment...no, sir.

[Ian David]

20. Doesn't someone have to scout ahead and look for IEDs or something? n/t

[blondeatlast]

21. Oh, the Army is way more dastardly. they let the dreadful last a good long time.

IED's are too quick for them.

[MineralMan]

22. By the time she's done with her deployment, she'll wish

that an IED got her. Trust me, the USA can make a guy's life damned miserable if they want.

[Ian David]

23. Remember the movie, "The Dirty Dozen?"

Maybe they should do a re-make called, "The Treasonous Trio?"

[Ian David]

24. Remember the movie, "The Dirty Dozen?"

Maybe they should do a re-make called, "The Treasonous Trio?"

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

25. Unfuckingbelievable. She laid down with a dog and now regrets the fleas.

[charlie]

27. "...her reprehensible and unprofessional actions."

That's too fucking funny. She stood right next to Orly in court 3 days ago while the lady made fools of both of them, but didn't glom onto her "reprehensibility" until today.

And it WAS all about her deployment, despite her trying to tweeze the constitutional argument apart from it.

“This plaintiff cannot in good conscience obey orders originating from a chain of command from this merely de facto president,” Rhodes’ complaint states. “This plaintiff cannot be lawfully compelled to obey this de facto president’s orders.”

http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/news/breaking_news/story/841419.html

Under questioning from Land, Rhodes said she had not declined any other orders since Obama became president.

“If Sen. McCain would have won, would you be objecting to deployment to Iraq?” the judge asked.

Rhodes said no.

Land then asked the question another way: If President George W. Bush still was the commander in chief, would she be fighting the deployment?

“No, sir,” Rhodes answered.

At one point in testimony, Rhodes expressed concerns she would not be covered by the rules of the Geneva Convention if she were captured.

http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/news/story/839909.html

You were asking for a pic of Rhodes upthread -- there's one at the second link.

[blondeatlast]

28. Thanks fior the link with the pic; I'd seen it earlier but couldn't find it later.

The picture damns her--she was right there, so she knew what Taitz was doing.

I know that lawyers often act without client's specific knowledge but smart lawyers cover that in the retainer agreement.

I would LURVE to read her and Orly's retainer agreement. :rofl:

[charlie]

29. Hell, if she read HER OWN COMPLAINT, filed on the 4th

she'd know what Orly was up to and wouldn't have discovered "political conjecture (which was) not in my interest" only today.

It's full of hyperbolic comic-book language about her "involuntary servitude" and the "judicially sanctioned rape of her autonomy", should he have to endure the "monstrosity" of obeying an "illegitimate usurper" "alien" "illegal dictator", who is comparable to Idi Amin, Joseph Stalin, and yes, Adolph Hitler.

[merh]

30. Holy shit, that lunatic submitted the Kenyan birth certificate to the court

from your second link

In her final argument, Taitz asked Land why she had to prove a “Kenyan birth certificate” she submitted as evidence was authentic, yet her opponents didn’t have to prove Obama had an authentic United States birth certificate.

“Who has the burden of establishing that the president of the United States is not eligible to serve in his office?” Land asked Taitz.

The judge then pointed out that burden fell on Rhodes because she sought the restraining order to stop her deployment.

Was it the same fake certificate that made its rounds on the internet?


:rofl:

[charlie]

31. No, it was ANOTHER fake certificate

You can see her showing it off here on Sept 11:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-YrSOfgEgg#t=5m9s

This one was so bad (she got it off eBay, no kidding), that WorldNutDaily debunked it:

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=108005

[blondeatlast]

35. There is no way in hell that the movie of this could be better than the real thing.

Too bad someone didn't start filming Diva Orly from the get-go; she would have lapped it up like milk and it would be pure comedy gold.

When World Net Daily punks your stupidity, a reasonable person would know they effed up. Orly isn't reasonable, though! She probably thinks WNut is a liberal rag. :rofl:

[TexasObserver]

39. With a badly bleached Tina Fey as Oily Taint!

The actress must be able to muster that crazy eyed look and manner of Oily, and Tina Fey can bring that.

[merh]

38. She bought the one off of ebay?

:rofl: :rofl:

thanks for the links

[davidpdx]

32. Both of them need to be thrown in jail

It's obvious that Rhodes has misrepresented whether or not she was in fact represented by this crazy fucking psychopathic loon.

[quaker bill]

33. This likely concerns

the motion to reconsider, which if Dr. Rhodes read the original dismissal, had to know would be a really bad idea. The judge more than telegraphed his displeasure in the dismissal and made it as clear as day that he would entertain nothing more on this matter. What is unclear is whether she signed any power of attorney to give Orly a blanket authorization to act on her behalf. If so, then she defacto authorized the filing even if she never saw it.

It is also unclear whether Orly is bright enough to have secured such an authorization. I imagine the California Bar will sort this out. If she filed this junk without client authorization, I can see disbarrment in her future.

It is also pretty clear that Cpt. Dr. Rhodes wants no part of the $10,000 fine and is quite happy to pitch Orly under the bus to avoid it.
