The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has rejected Orly Taitz's appeal of the $20,000 fine imposed on her for making frivolous filings in a long-running Birther case.
"We have fully considered Taitz's arguments," the ruling from a three-judge panel reads. "We find them unpersuasive and therefore affirm the district court's sanctions judgment."
A federal judge in Georgia imposed the sanction on Taitz in October, blasting her for, among other things, using "the courts as a platform for a political agenda disconnected from any legitimate legal cause of action."

Ok...I am probably a day late and a dollar short -- as usual -- but I did not know that Orly got burned on her appeal. This happened about two weeks ago. Posting it for those who like me had not heard this. Besides -- never too late to post good news!
