I wonder. Would she wear pants in the presence of the pope to show her disrespect for catholicism?

Someone's been reading Chick tracts again!
"Catholic deeds throughout the history have been bloody and murderous."
While I don't disagree, I think she's a nutcase.

A bit of CSTDT here too. Catholics control the courts? That's news to me. Reminds me of the people who think Jews control the media.

Just in the interests of accuracy, the next paragraphs in the article are:
Nett also said the views expressed in the filing - which carries her signature - were those of her client. "Did I write what was in that paper? No," she said.
That itself could create problems for the lawyer. Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure says that when a lawyer signs a submission to the court, she is attesting that she believes the submission is supported by evidence or legal argument.
"The lawyer who signs a document is adopting it as her own, and I don't believe that she can avoid responsibility by saying that the client drafted it," said Douglas Heidenreich, who teaches professional responsibility at William Mitchell College of Law.

"Across the country the court systems and particularly the Bankruptcy Court in Minnesota, are composed of a bunch of ignoramus, bigoted Catholic beasts that carry the sword of the church,"
"Hastings lawyer Rebekah Nett also called U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Nancy Dreher and other court personnel "dirty Catholics."
I wonder how many cases you've won, Rebekah Nutt? Your powers of persuasion must make you the darling of the Minnesota & Wisconsin circuit; both juries and judge(s). That future SCOTUS post awaits! [/mega-sarcasm]

I don't know how severe the penalties are for charges of perjury in the US legal system, but in the UK, they are ultra-brutal. Just ask Jeffrey Archer.
Becky is fucked. [/Schadenfreude] >:D

Catholics control the courts, Jews control the banks, atheists control the schools, and somehow people like Rebekah Nett don't see how any of these contradicting groups working together doesn't make any kind of sense at all.

Sometimes we forget that Catholics were once the Moslems and Sharia of their day, once upon a time.
How anachronistic.

I'm going to try to maintain my faith in humanity here. I'm going to hope that she wrote this as a joke, and she filed it on accident. I doubt that this is the case, but I'm keeping the hope alive

Perhaps this is an attempt to argue diminished capacity on the part of the client?

But worth it only for the lulz. Both art and story-wise.

"Catholics control the courts"
Well, Beckypoos here could always move to the
very Protestant, Church of England UK, and it's barristers and judges who have to swear fealty to Queen Elizabeth II, head of said
protestant Church of England; one of said judges here is Cherie Blair, wife of former Prime Minister Tony Blair.
...oh yes, that's right. As of 2007 onwards, Tony & Cherie Blair are devout
Roman Catholics. >:D
"Jews control the banks"
...and the UK's Chief Rabbi Dr. Jonathan Sacks, who - as he's in our House of Lords - is
Lord Sacks. Then he's also joined in Parliament by one of our most famous captains of industry & commerce, Lord Sugar. Thus, Beckypoos...:

As a Catholic, I think we are a bunch of cunts but it's only us who are allowed to say so. Yes I know that's illogical.
