Stupid like a fox is more like it. Now she's entitled to the discovery items in order to defend herself in the appellate courts. If Obama is a NBC, then they will give up the BC and other documents. IF not then watch how fast the judge rethinks his ruling and drops the matter. The difference now is even if he drops the fine, she's still entitled to go foreword to clear her name.

There is no such thing as "discovery in the appellate courts."

No, she isn't.

The sanction does not reopen the original case. It is driven by her subsequent conduct, which is obviously indefensible to any competent lawyer. The idea that sanctions are a route to getting Obama’s birth certificate is simply an urban legend perpetrated on these threads.

But, given the distaste for orly, would the judge allow this kind of discovery?
