StarTribune ^ | 11/17/09 | BOB VON STERNBERG

Posted on 11/17/2009 8:37:29 AM PST by ButThreeLeftsDo

A federal appeals court has ordered a civil rights lawyer convicted in a terrorism case that originated in Minnesota to begin serving her prison sentence.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan today also upheld Lynne Stewart's conviction, which was based in part on illegally aiding her client, Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, during a visit with him at the federal prison in Rochester, Minn., in May 2000.

She was convicted of smuggling messages between Abdel-Rahman and a terrorist group.

Stewart was sentenced to a little more than two years in prison.

Oh my, she needs a shave. She is the epitimy of what Democrat socialist progressive Women look like.

Someone should have slapped her parents for raising this mess. To think that when she was a baby everyone went coo che coo che coo, maybe.

When you are that much of a mess, no wonder you hate everything and it shows.

A travesty of justice. Should be executed for crimes against the State. Espionage is not a light charge. This is criminal conspiracy.

The nice thing about Google Image is that if you just drill down far enough, you can find all sorts of stuff.

Like this comely lass:

Or this funny picture of Abdul Rahman in a Santa Claus hat:

Evil, but cute.

Anyone taking bets as to whether or not she shows up for prison time?

Margarita Rosario, Cindy Sheehan, Lynne Stewart

Antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan told about how the Bush regime had stolen the life of her son Casey, a U.S. solider killed in the Iraq war, and said, “I’ve gotten in trouble with the mainstream media because I called George Bush ‘the No. 1 terrorist in the world.’ People say, oh, no, he can’t be because he’s an elected leader of a state. Well, first of all, who elected him? Did any of you vote for him? No. He is an illegitimate leader of this brutal state.”

Margarita Rosario, whose son and nephew were killed by the NYPD, said: “My son received 14 shots to his back while he was face down on the floor. And my nephew the same thing. They destroyed my life… I’m still standing and I will continue to stand… Let’s tell the community of Harlem today that we need to fight!”

Travis Morales of the Revolutionary Communist Party said, “The immigration police, la migra, with their cowboy hats and shotguns, busting down the doors of homes, rounding up people and deporting them, terrorizing and tearing families apart, leaving children and babies stranded with their neighbors… Nooses hung from a whites-only tree in Jena, Louisiana

The blind Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman

Stewart was imprisoned and disbarred for assisting her translator to convey a message to 1993 World Trade Center bombing master-mind Omar Abdel-Rahman in prison from Egyptian terrorist group, and then delivering his response at her press conference.
