   Federal judge in Ga. sanctions 'birther' attorney   
   (AP) - 32 minutes ago   
      
   COLUMBUS, Ga. - A federal judge in Georgia has fined a leader of the   
   movement that claims President Barack Obama was born outside the U.S. and   
   isn't eligible to be president.   
      
   U.S. District Judge Clay D. Land's scathing 43-page order says California   
   lawyer and dentist Orly Taitz is attempting to misuse the federal courts to   
   press "wild accusations."   
      
   Taitz is a leader of the so-called birther movement and sued on behalf of a   
   soldier who claimed she shouldn't have to deploy to Iraq because Obama   
   wasn't born in the U.S. Documents show he was born in Hawaii.   
      
   Land, appointed in 2001 by President George W. Bush, says he fined Taitz   
   $20,000 "as a deterrent to prevent future misconduct and to protect the   
   integrity of the court."   
      
   Taitz tells The Fulton County Daily Report the order is "an absolute   
   outrage."
