According to Pioneer Press, Judge Nancy Dreher has ordered the arrest of Naomi Isaacson, a lawyer who filed a document referring to Dreher, who is not Catholic, as a “popess” and “a secret Catholic Knight Witch Hunter."
“The Catholic Church has millions of Jesuits working undercover around the country to fulfill the Church's agenda,” the legal memo said. “They give orders, pull the strings, and their puppets like Nancy Dreher jump like zombies.”
Judge Dreher cited Isaacson for “unsupported and outrageous allegations of bigotry, deceit, conspiracy and scandalous statements against this court,” and ordered her to be arrested on contempt-of-court charges after she failed to appear on January 4 to explain her document.
In addition, Dreher fined Isaacson and her attorney, Rebekah Nutt, $5,000 each.
In an earlier court filing, Nutt described Judge Dreher and other court employees as “dirty Catholics,” and said that “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.”
“Catholic deeds throughout the history have been bloody and murderous,” added Nutt’s memorandum.
Both women are said to be followers of Avraham Cohen, formerly known as Rama Behera and Dr. Samanta Roy, who allegedy grew up in a Jewish community in India. In the early 1970s, he started a group in the U.S. known as The Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ and at first preached a mostly Gospel-centered creed. However, as the years went by, he incorporated Judaism, Hindu and other beliefs into his preaching, and began to denounce most organized religions, particularly Catholicism.
Followers claim Cohen performed miracles, could interpret dreams and had a gift of prophecy.
Disaffected former members say he gradually began to exert more and more control over them by issuing strict rules about how members were dress and forbidding the women to cut their hair.
Isaacson, 37, is CEO of Cohen's Institute of Science and Technology, Inc., and also serves as president of the group's subsidiary, Yehud-Monosson USA, Inc. The latter group, which owns gas stations and convenience stores, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year which would have allowed it to retain its properties, keep creditors at bay and reorganize their finances.
But after it was determined that Yehud-Monosson had acted in bad faith, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Dennis O'Brien converted the case to Chapter 7, allowing a trustee to liquidate assets to pay creditors. O'Brien stepped down from the case, which was then taken over by Dreher.
Pioneer Press is reporting that beginning in November, Isaacson and Nett responded to various court orders with pleadings that were laced with religious slurs, such as calling Dreher a "Catholic Knight Witch Hunter" among other names, and accusing the court of being part of a Vatican-linked conspiracy to destroy their group.
Unfortunately for the two women, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure bar lawyers from making claims that aren't supported by facts or reasoned legal arguments. The rules require attorneys to "reasonably" investigate what they put in a brief.
Last month, Dreher, who belongs to no particular religion, cited 10 excerpts from the women's filing that violated the rules, and threatened to fine each up to $1,000 per violation.
Isaacson refused to appear at a previous hearing about the slurs during which time her attorney, Rebekah Nutt, took the brunt of Dreher's ire, who said the vicious language used in their filings was "beyond the pale.".
"There's no respect when someone calls this court a dirty, bigoted Catholic," Dreher told Nett.
When Isaacson failed to show at a second hearing, Dreher promptly ordered federal marshalls to carry out an arrest warrant and said the woman "is going to spend some time in detention" until she turns over documents the court ordered her to produce in September.
Dreher was visibly perturbed by the personal nature of the rhetoric used in the legal documents.
"She has absolutely no clue what my religious beliefs are, if any, and it is nobody's business," Dreher said.
